Re: BAE Granite State Regional

First off I'd like to thank 1517 for providing us with batteries, as our robot was a wicked power hog, seeing as we managed to trip the 120 amp fuse in the final 20 seconds of Finals Match 3. If anyone has any footage of any elimination matches I'd love to see it. Also thanks to our awesome alliance partners for helping us put on the show we did. 1519, you blew me away last season, and unsurprisingly did it again, and 133 thanks for mentoring us and letting us pick you.

After this regional, it seems all shooters are the way to go. It also seems the camera is far often more trouble than its worth (case in point: 172 took off their entire shooting mechanism and replaced it with a hopper because they couldn't get it to work). 296, I really wanted to meet you on the field, as you guys had one powerhouse of an alliance, but there's always next year. 40, you guys had an incredible autonomous routine, as did 319 and 1100. 562 and 549 are really good at the lower goals. 1721 is an incredible rookie, I have no doubt that they'll be back, bigger and better in 2007.

Congratulations Andy Grady on your WFA!

Thanks to all the event staff for putting it on this incredible event. It really was a great time.
