Re: 2008 San Diego Regional

First of all, we (Team 1717, D'Penguineers) thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our working alliance with teams 968 RAWC and 294 Beach City Robotics. Also, we are grateful for all of the support we received from other teams to cheer on the Blue Alliance in the final rounds. The penguins united as the Cyber Penguins Team 585 joined us throughout the day to celebrate and imitate our beloved bird, while many teams came down to the field to keep the energy high and invite all of the other teams to join in the great fun. We appreciate all of your enthusiasm and support!

Congratulations also to Teams 812, 1566, 2599 which won Chairman's, Engineering Inspiration, and Rookie All-Star respectively, and thus qualified for Atlanta. We look forward to seeing you there.

As everyone who saw the San Diego finals probably knows, the final rounds were a great and exciting contest, which continued to the bitter end. Many congratulations to Teams 330, 987, and 2034, and best of luck in any future regionals or events. We were honored to have the opportunity to compete with these amazing teams.

Also, thanks to teams 330, and 980 for helping us with parts and ideas throughout the competition, and team 2543 for providing our drivers with water during the final rounds.

We look forward to seeing teams at the Los Angeles Regional in two weeks, and then at Championships in April!
