Re: 2006 Toronto Championships
I'll be there with bells on.
Since 2003 the Ontario Science Center has hosted a Edurobotics/Vex tournament, although this is our first official FIRST tournament. Each of these tournaments has been intensely spirited and featured some great competition. It's also been the grounds for the debut of many rookie teams, who have gone on to amazing success in the FRC. Teams 1006, 1114, 1219, 1241, 1305, 1503, 1547 (among many others) all got their first taste of competition at the OSC. These seven teams alone have now gone on to win 12 regionals, 6 regional finalists, 4 Chairman's Awards, 5 Engineering Inspiration Awards and 8 Rookie All-Star Awards! I'm sure history will repeat itself this year with the rookies.
