Re: 2009 Philadelphia Regional

Well, Philly '09 is in the record books.

The weekend was a rough one for us, things just didn't fall into our favor. Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone who came up to our pits and complimented us on our design or on our driving. It's true, we really don't have traction control of any sorts, there are no joystick filters, it's just completely open loop. (Some people refused to believe us.)

Some other Thanks and Congrats are in order though.

11- What can I say? I love you guys to death and it was great to finally play with you guys and I wish you the best of luck in Atlanta. Thanks for all of the kind words and moral support (Both on CD and in Philly) over the weekend, it means a lot.

222- You were by far my favorite team to play with all weekend. We worked so well together and it broke my heart that we couldn't ally together in the Elims. Oh well, there's always Atlanta

316- You were awesome through out the weekend, even though you were plagued with drive train issues you still managed to get out and do well. Thanks for the support on and off the field and also thanks for the Driving advice. You guys are an awesome team, Maybe we'll see you at PARC.

365,395 and 56- Losing to you guys was rough but I'd have to say you were the best alliance through the Elims. No one expected you guys to come out and play as well as you did but you definitely deserved the win.

816- We did what we came to do, we got out there and played as well as we could with what we had. I'm so proud to call you guys my teammates, We built a Strong machine so don't let losing get you down. We'll get our wins where they matter the most, In Atlanta.

There's so much more I could say but I've spent too much time writing this post. See some of you in Atlanta.
