Re: Pittsburgh Regional
What an event! I would like to say thank you to all the volunteers that made this regional possible! Also a huge thank you to the Labview support volunteers and also to 1218 for spending so much time helping us get our robot running. We unfortunately did not have our cRio updated prior to the competition and encountered some issues after updating the cRio that left us dead until Thursday afternoon. Volunteers like these and the graciousness of the teams that attend the Pittsburgh regional are just awesome and that's why it's quite possibly our favorite event! Also a special thanks to Wayne Penn for great MCing and the boost of support he gave us and all the other teams competing at the Pittsburgh regional.
Thanks to our partners that made our alliance an awesome force. Thanks to 1218 for having an awesome dumping bot and great scouting to help out with our second pick not to mention the programming help. I suggest everyone take a little time to look at their machine and creative use of materials including use of crutches and hockey sticks in their design. Thanks to 1743 for playing some great defense and bringing their awesome human player. We could not have won without either team and I cannot say thank you enough!
Finally thanks to the students on team 222, their parents, our hometown community, our small but many sponsors, our school district and my fellow mentors. Without support from everyone we could never put a bot together. We are eternally grateful for all who have supported us in the past and those that continue to support us in the future. It's been an emotional roller coaster this weekend going from a robot that couldn't even move to a regional champion!
Thanks again to everyone!
