Re: 2008 Boston Regional
The Boston Regional has been great since it began in 2006, but I think this year really set a new standard for showcasing FIRST at a regional event. It was officially the most attended regional in history (7,000+). It was an amazing display of art and technology with the Blue Man Group, Woodie's entrance, the LED curtains, the field lighting, and the numerous displays like the MIT DARPA Urban Challenge vehicle and the Bluefin underwater autonomous vehicle. Thank you to the event organizers who did a tremendous job setting all this up and having it run so smoothly.

Team 97 thanks 61 and 1153 for drafting us into a great alliance. We made an awesome team and put on a great show in the playoffs. Congratulations to 20, 40, and 1474 on a well-deserved win and an excellent display of sportsmanship. And congratulations to 839 on your Chairman's Award win. Good luck to all in Atlanta!
