I have been attending the New York regional for 7 years now and this has been the best one yet including the one in which I drove the robot. The referees and volunteers were more on top of things than usual and it was nice to finally meet Andy Baker.

341-You guys had an amazing robot and even better driving. It was a lot of fun cheering with you guys in eliminations and I love my new hat. It was great playing with you and developing strategies with a team that is so smart strategically. After all my years of FIRST I've never been aligned with anyone with as good strategy as Jared and his scouts. I can't wait to see you guys again in Atlanta.

3204-Without your defense on the defense on Miss Daisy we probably wouldn't have made it out of the quarter finals. I hope you guys can make it to Atlanta, its lots of fun and you guys would love it.

2265-After 3204 went down I was very happy to see that you guys were next on the rankings. You came in and absolutely shut down teams with your defense and confident driving. Your drivers were good to go and I don't recall ever seeing anyone more excited than when we told you we were putting you in.

375-Congratulations on Chairmans! Also congratulations to Mr. Raile on winning woody flowers after all your years of dedication. You guys were a great opponent every time we faced you this weekend and even though we were never aligned and it didn't look like it was possible for us to be paired you were nice and friendly with us all weekend and I look forward to stopping by your pits and saying hi in Atlanta.

522-You are always fun to talk to and play with and against. I was hoping not to face you in eliminations because even though your alliance was depleted by the loss of 354 you had excellent strategy and you were the most efficient hanging team at the competition in the sense that you hung each and every match. I wish you guys the best of luck in Long Island.
