I wanted to thank all the Pittsburgh Regional volunteers, especially the technical support personnel, who kept the event right on schedule, if not AHEAD of schedule. Other events should emulate your methods.
Congrats to 222 on their first regional win, and kudos to 1218 for their Hoover of a robot - you earned the
Mega-Maid award for the Pittsburgh event, hands down.
1629 - thanks for picking us and 1249 to be a part of your alliance. It was fun while it lasted. Congratulations also on earning the Engineering Inspiration Award. I always like it when teams who did not submit Chairman's at an event win this award, as it reaffirms to all that EI is not meant to be 2nd place Chairman's. Keep up the great work.
1743 - From 18 lbs. over weight on Thursday to regional champions - what a ride, eh? Your perseverance is commendable.
379 - thanks for being a great team filled with special students and mentors. Keep on truckin', and good luck at Chesapeake next week!
2901 - congrats on making the eliminations for the first time in your young existence, and great job on earning the Rookie Inspiration award. Keep building upon this early success, and you'll go far. All the NEOFRA teams have much to be proud of this season.
