This was a great event, very well run event. Thanks to all the volunteers for making it a great day, many of them from Niagara FIRST crew and 188. Thanks to Karthik for doing a great job of announcing as usual. I don't know if i can count how many events i have seen Karthik MC for, but every time he has amazing energy. On of the surprising thing is that i saw more media attention at this VEX competition then at GTR. The only problem was crystals... Vex really needs to make special competition crystals.

It's hard to say how good fvc1114 is.... because they are AMAZING! they can score 2 in auto then pick up 6 more, or pick up 2 and score 4 in auto. Then they can clear the field of soft balls and fill up the goals. They can score so many balls that the atlas ball doesn't matter. There were many other competitive vex bots, 3075 (similar to 1114), 1305, 1281, 1246, and the 6 Woburn bots were great (2 of them made it to the finals), there were more but i can't remember...

Thanks again for a great event.
