Re: bragging rights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

171 walked away from Wisconsin with both a regional championship trophy and Rockwell Innovation's Innovation in Control award. Both of which, we are very proud of.

I just want to take a second though to congratulate team 93, NEW Apple Corp from Appleton, WI for the year they have had. You guys are truly what FIRST is all about and I can't think of many other teams that have done what you guys have in the past 11 years.

93, if you didn't know, here is how 93 faired this year:

Wisconsin
Engineering Inspiration
Regional Finalists

Minnesota
Gracious Professionalism
Industrial Safety
Innovation in Control
Regional Winners

Congratulations on the wonderful year and I hope to see you in Atlanta.


Another shout out goes to team 1816 and Mark Lawrence from Edina, Minnesota. If you weren't lucky enough to make it to the Twin Cities this weekend for the Minnesota Regional, you missed out. It was an amazing event and for a regional which contained 30 rookie teams, it was one of the smoothest running I've ever seen. 1816 is largely responsible, along with Mr. Lawrence and his interaction with many of the major businesses in Minnesota for raising the amount of teams in Minnesota from 2006's total of 2 teams to this year's total of 54. I've already heard of a similar increase next year which could result in a Minnesota Super Regional. (Twice the fields, twice the excitement).

Congratulations on your Chairman's award Green Machine and thank you Mark for the amazing regional.
