[Ivan Helmrich]

I finally had to register here on CD just to say what an excellent event this was. Team Driven and Cerner Corp. did a superb job of organizing the event. It had all the flavor of an official regional; video on a big screen, music, official FIRST field, screaming fans, flying robot parts, all the things we've come to love about playing this game. The food was better though.

Thanks Team Driven for your tireless effort to put this on.
Thanks to the large group of volunteers who made things run smoothly.
Thanks Bomb Squad for showing off the new controller and showing some inspiring performance on the field.
Thanks Andy and Mark for bringing the field and your expertise.
Thanks especially to Cerner Corp. who turned their beautiful activity center over to a bunch of high school kids and their robots for a couple of days. We couldn't ask for better hosts.

I'll look forward to this event next year and beyond.
