I'm not going to say much about the finals matches except to say I think the right call was made.
First of all, a huge thanks to Team 1126, SparX for being the most gracious hosts to me and instantly making me feel like I was part of the team. You guys are the best and I hope that if some of you travel with our team someday we can be half the hosts you guys were. Congrats on building another amazing robot and your Xerox Creativity Award. I love you guys!
Karthik and the rest of Team 1114, it was great to be able to talk to you for a little bit about your team and their Chairman's efforts. After talking with you and your Chairman's presenters about their presentation style and reading the board of your accomplishments, I knew you were going to win. Thanks for taking the time to talk with me and we are honored to have you presenting with us at Championship for the Chairman's Award. Oh and a side note, congrats on winning the regional as well!
Congrats to The winning alliance and the finalists for putting on a great show and proving this game can be exciting to watch when the right robots and the right strategies are being played out.
Also, I can't say enough about the field crew. Staying on schedule ALL WEEKEND seemed only a dream after what went on when the bugs were still being worked out but you guys made it a reality and it really improved the quality of the event as a spectator. Great Job!
To everyone at GTR, this was my first time north of the border for a regional competition and I can't tell you how impressed I was at the spirit in that building. 1075, 1310 and all the other teams that made the atmosphere so great, thanks for making my first Canadian regional one to remember.
Oh by the way, if anyone wants a 1535 shirt, I think Karthik said something about one being atop the Hershey Centre press box.....
