Re: Kansas City Regional - 2010

What a great regional! I got to talk to the inventor of the 1625 linkage (special name?). I got to meet Woodie Flowers. There were far too many awesome robots to mention them all. I learned about pneumatics from 1986. I talked drivetrain with 1939. AND, I got to compete in the finals! (Thanks 16 and 1625)

My favorite moment (other than being mentioned on CD) was before the final match. Our mentor on the pit crew says "Jeff, Hold out your hand". This didn't make sense to me at the time, but I did anyway. He starts laughing hystericlly and I look at my hand and my fingers are twitching all over the place. He says "Nervous much?".

Great regional. Special thanks to team 935, 1986 and 1730 for constanly loaning us hardware and fasteners. And to team 2461 for giving us a victor. And of course thanks is due to our alliance, teams 16 and 1625. They both have amazing robots and teams should watch out for them.
