I'm sure there will be as I'm looking forward to seeing them too, but won't seeing them just make you regret missing the event more? j/k completing homework assignments is reasonable. Too bad though, we were hoping that you would take a few spins at the mic as our guest MC.
PIC REQUESTS
-For all of you award winners, can you take a picture of the trophies? The Duel trophies are a work of art.
-A picture of the dumbfounded and mortified looks on the faces of our birthday girls Tina from 25, who turned 16 and Katie from 1089, who turned 17 at the Duel, standing in the middle of the field as the crowd sang them a happy birthday.
I echo what everyone has said MOE and the Lunatecs put on a great event. I had high expectations going into the Duel, but the event far exceeded all of them. It was evident that the organizers spent a lot of time and attention. The sheer TONNAGE of books collected in the book drive blew my mind, the great guest speakers (Miss Deleware being a Dupont Engineer was really cool), the banners as well as the spray painted team numbers on the carpet squares at each pit (I really thought this was a nice touch), the Vex Scrimmage, the Talon Bot and 357 Mechanum WheelChair Demonstrations, the abundance of volunteers, and the overwhelming spirit and sportsmanship demonstrated by all of the teams made for one heck of an offseason competition. Congratulations to all of the teams, but especially to the Champs and the Finalists for the GP they exhibited with the inclusion of a pre-rookie team into the finals. I believe the two posts from 1980 earlier say how much they got out of it. You gave them a great introduction and welcome to the world of FIRST.
To all of the Duel planning committee I thank you for having me come down. It was an honor to work alongside so many great volunteers and a pleasure to meet and talk to so many attending the Duel. Thanks to the team de Special thanks to Joe and Carol Perotto for picking me up and hosting me for a night, as well as Pete K for the ride back to the airport in his S4! I had a lot of fun at the Duel. This is a great event and I would highly recommend it to other teams considering an off-season in the future.
