[Mr MOE]

Once again, the FLR regional was a fantastic FIRST regional in many ways:

* Competition - terrific and very competitive teams
* Organization - everything ran very well
* Venue - thanks RIT
* Volunteers - you all make it happen
* Friendliness of teams - the event feels like one big family having a reunion

Congratulations to GRR Team 340 on the Regional Chairman's Award. Thanks for the goodie bags at the hotel! We were honored to have you guys as our pit neighbors! Also, we want to thank Jason Rees for the nice send off he gave us on our bus as we were braving the snow and ice-covered Rochester roads on the trip home. You guys are a great team!

Congrats to Rolling Thunder 1511 on receiving the Engineering Inspiration Award. You guys are doing wonderful things to inspire. Keep it up!

Winning alliance - 20, 191, 2053, 174 - you guys rocked! We had tough matches against you in the semis. You all executed a great game strategy.

Thanks to the co-emcees, Steve Warren and John V Neun! It was great having you both work this regional (and JVN, I like your new checkered bandana)!

MOE 365 would like to thanks 1507 for selecting us as their partner for theelims. Also, a big thanks to our third partner, T-Rx 145! You both made fantastic partners and were great to work with.

MOE really loves the FLR regional. Thanks to everyone who put such hard work into making this such a sucess!
