Re: Pittsburgh Regional
I actually stopped in here to ask if anyone remembered what the panoramic photo machine website was called, and Pete had that covered. So I'll quickly move onto my secondary purpose, that of thanks.
Thanks to Ken from C.I.A. (291) and Jerry from the Red Barons (63) for helping us out with some electrical and hardware problems.
Thanks to MARS (2614) for the inflatable green martian, which one of our students won. It will be moving into our workshop full-time starting tomorrow.
Thanks to teams 2603 and 63 for selecting us as their third alliance partner. In only our second year as an FRC team, it was a great honor to make the Elimination rounds. I also wish to extend our deepest apologies for letting down our partners with an untimely breakdown, which forced them to replace us. At least it gave 337 a much-deserved shot at the playoffs.
Finally, I want to thank my team members who are moving on to college next season: Mike Tasota, Kelly Miller, assistant captain Nick Grieco, and our team captain Katia Paramonova. In all honesty, going on without them isn't going to be easy, but I know they will all be with the team in spirit (and some perhaps even in person) when the Regionals roll around in 2010.
Congratulations to the wining alliance, and thank you to all the great teams and people in Pittsburgh again this year. FIRST continues to be a positive experience for both myself and our students. I can't imagine life without it now. See you all in 2010 in the Steel City, and perhaps even in Cleveland if we can swing it.
Be seeing you.
