Thanks for giving an update.

I didn't see a lot of the matches, but I can tell you that everyone is enjoying themselves. The FIRST Crew and all of the volunteers are doing great!

There were some broken goals which were fixed quickly, and times when the bridge jumped off the 4X6, which is something I hadn't heard of from other regionals.

I don't have all the awards but among the winners were the RoboDAWGS - 288 The Motorola Quality Award. Zeelands Bob - 85 got the Judges award, in part for their using parts of last years robot in a mobile platform for a disabled classmate. WildStang - 111 had a design award, as did the Huskie Brigade - 65 their robot was described very nicely even if they did use the word "cute". Sorry I don't know which got which. The TechnoKats - 45 got the Leadership in Control Award for their balancing control using the Gyro chip. The Killer bees got an award also, sorry neither of us remember what, possibly Team Spirit?

All of the Rookies are impressive. I'm glad I didn't have to be involved in picking G-Force - 535 for rookie team.

I sincerely appologize for missing groups or getting things mixed up. The main point is that there are some top notch teams and students here.

I'll have more notes, and hopefully more details after tommorrow.
