2 things made this the best Championship ever for me.

1- Watching Ashley Allen's face when I introduced her to Chiniqua (MC on Newton). Ashley's face was absolutely priceless.

2- Watching team 11 fix their ball scoop inbetween quarterfinal matches. After they lost QF 2.1 and their ball scoop broke off, most of the people on the field counted them out of the next match and our allaince out of the QF's altogether (with 254, 71, and 753 as our opposition, it wasn't an unrealistic assumption). But then seeing the field crews faces after 11 not only got thier robot back on the field to win match 2, and come within a ball of winning match 3...that was worth any trophy or medal I can ever get.

Sure hanging a "Winner" Banner is a great feeling, but hanging a diploma from high school or college using the knowledge you learn from FIRST...that feeling is much much better.
