Well,
All I can say is ITS ABOUT TIME!!!

I cannot think of a more deserving Chairman's Award winner than Team 360!!
One only has to look at the number of 360 alums giving back to FIRST to see the effect that this team has had on the region. EVERY TIME we attend an event ANYWHERE in the PNW we see 360 members. You simply CAN'T get away from them!! You guys are terrific and its a pleasure being in a region with teams like you.

And, well 488.... 9 years? I can't believe it... In our short 3 years we have always wanted to be on the field with you guys... usually it doesn't work out.
It didn't this year either but you guys were terrific in both Portland and I am so happy that the quality of your team could finally get the reward it has deserved for a long time!! Skunkworks will NEVER forget coming home from Las Vegas 2 years ago and having you guys waiting there to congratulate us on our first regional win. It was an example of gracious professionalism that I will always remember.

Congratulations to you... well deserved...well fought...well done..
(And to 1425 and 1569 !!!)

We would also like to congratulate rookie team 3070 for being the Number 1 seed during the quals. We and especially want to thank you for choosing us to play with you on the Number 1 Alliance. Thanks too to team 2557 for being on the alliance. We all played hard and got beat by a good alliance.

Congrats to EVERYONE at the regional. The field crews and volunteers were terrific..things were ahead of schedule... (I had to actually look it up but I thought that was against the rules.....) lol

Thank you everyone for making it a terrific competition for everyone!
