Re: boston regional thanks

Lol it wasnt "accidental" we just finally gave our programmers some time with it... or maybe we were hiding it until finals Anyone watching the practice field that day should have been scared! hehe.

I want to thank the entire Boston Regional Staff and the Arena staff. The event went so well that it was truely amazing... the list of "big guns" at the regional was amazing, and I was so excited to meet my hero Helen Grainer of IRobot. And we <3 the pit announcer!!

Thanks to Tony for training me for IFI support for Toronto... everyone, remember to turn your robots ON!!

Thanks to 549 for picking us... what a rush to be the second pick of the entire regional! I guess knocking you off your offense auto in quals brought out the "we'd rather be with them than against them!" Those were some crazy matches!

Congrats to 578 for doing so well... we love the Rochester teams! Sad to see you arent headed to champs with such a good robot.

Big time congratulations to all the Rookies there... 1757, one of the best plywood robots I have seen in a long time!!! (Westwood Westwood!), 1761 congrats on the rookie all stars, what a great team!! 1975 great job with Rookie Inspiration!!! We expect big things from all of you next year! And to all the little rookies that could at that regional, we are so glad you were there, we really hope to see you in future FIRST. The stories were all moving, especially the team that built their robot there, borrowing our wheels, pulling everything together as they went. Congratulations! You've made it!

And of course congrats to 121, 233, & 1568, it was easy to see that alliance was nearly unstoppable!

See you all in Toronto or Atlanta!
