Re: 2005 Philadelphia Regional Thanks and Congrats
Congratulations to all the teams who competed at Drexel, but especially the Regional Champions 365, 56, & 316. You guys have consistently top-notch robots, were a tough bunch to go against and your win is well earned.
834 had a joystick failure in the finals and MOE loaned them a replacement. We couldn’t have competed without MOE’s help. Way to go to with your own Triple-Play of Chairman’s, Woodie Flowers, and Regional Champion.
56, I hope you pull the funding together so we see you in Atlanta too!
I loved the rapid-fire tetra capping and the dynamic swings in tic-tac-toe scores especially from the quarterfinals all the way through finals. No boring bits there! Especially some of those really tall leaning-towers of tetras. I’m really surprised more of them didn’t topple over.
There were so many Philly volunteers, field crew, crowd control, inspectors, judges, referees, scorers, sound, video, and on and on. They were quick, swift and professional at keeping the matches on time and moving along, handing out awards to deserving teams and recovering from technical issues like the scoring system. My thanks go out to all of you for your dedication and again making Philly such a wonderful experience for us all.
