Your team built a solid scoring machine for 2008 -- for those at other regionals I would describe it at a pallet-loader / placekicker. Very reliable and effective hurdler. I enjoyed inspecting your robot at Boilermaker, and was thrilled when our teams were selected to join the same alliance for the eliminations. Thank you, 2368!

About that one-in-a-million shot: I'm hoping that TBA will get Boilermaker video soon so others can see it. Watching the blue ball sail up, knock away the red bonus, and then settle onto the overpass as the buzzer sounded -- well, that was a moment to look back on for quite a while. Of course, we planned it just that way!

FYI, I have DVDs of both St. Louis and Boilermaker Regionals house feeds. Each one is a 4 disk set consisting of Friday morning, Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon.

Also, Congratulations to teams 111, 1024, and 876! You were a great alliance!
