Once again, the FIRST Florida Regional was an excellent demonstration of what great minds can do. There were so many excellent robot designs and strategies, it was absolutely thrilling to witness. And I should know: I was doing field reset all three days, so I had a very close view
Thank you to teams 86 and 1612 for picking 1251 to join your alliance; all three teams worked so perfectly well together and it definitely paid off. An additional kudos to 86 on their stunning robot - all the volunteers/judges/refs/everyone were going nuts when we saw it roll the first time on Thursday. You guys stole the show at that moment and definitely deserve the Excellence in Design Award. FYI: This is 1251 and 86's third time (in 4 years at that!) winning Florida Regional together. It's thrilling.
Congratulations to 1902 on a very, very much deserved Chairman's Award. You guys are an outstanding team and an example for all! This year's not even halfway over yet, but I'm already looking forward to next year's Florida Regional!
