Congratulations to Team 254 for continuing to be a class act, and congratulations to whoever actually is winning the Silicon Valley Regional (since the FIRST web site hasn't been updated in a while, and the webcast appears to be stuck, I can't tell what is going on with the competition right now).

Yup, let's not let the history of team 254 slip through the crack. Let's take a look at their history on their website:
http://team254.bcp.org/history.php
10 Regional Champions from 1999 to 2007 (so far) plus 3 Off-Season Cal Games Champions
2004 Regional and National Chairman's Award
Numerous awards at various competition.
And most importantly, through out the years they've let Bay Area teams use their playing field for practice and off-season events, they've volunteered to help us transport the field, setup the field, sent volunteers for the events, and NASA Ames has also setup their mobile machine shop at SVR as well as other regionals.
Oh, they took me to LA with them for the 2001 Fall Classic too.
Their leadership in the Bay Area is undeniable. Hat's off to the Cheesy Poofs for raising the bar and maintaining such a successful program since their rookie year, 1999.
