Let me repeat....About a week ago, one of the funniest strands on this site was about Bar Loks. It was great to follow and got tons of posts. But now, please forget this CHAOS petition stuff. We are first on the waiting list and will see what happens. As for Chief Delphi coming to town, let me go back two years...Ladder Logic, 1998.

We had great seeding matches in NE, and were in the Quarter finals, Semi Finals and Finals. The two teams in the Finals were Chief Delphi and CHAOS. They beat us soundly that day. What is more important is what they did for us as a team. Anyone who has coached sports will tell you that you do not grow without playing people better than you are. As a result of that day, we did grow. A feeling developed on our team to become better. The years 1999 and 2000 were tremendous for us and maybe without having C.D. in New England, that would not have happened. We have just had 15 super students graduate, many of them learned this lesson two years ago. This is a rebuilding year for us. I want my new members to get that same feeling, play strong teams and get stronger. See good teams in action and try your best to do more than they do. In the FIRST program, the sky is the limit, not just playing matches but in all the other areas that FIRST encompasses. This is a lot for a quiet guy to say, but...NO PETITIONS...and Thanks for coming to New England Joe, you provide teams with a goal.
