Red face oops....

haha...i have a story to top all stories...LoL

So last year was a very successful year for royal assualt...we had a corporate sponsor for the first time in our three year exsistence in PECO energy and we went to the LSR on a NASA grant...We won our first awards and we and we qualified for Fla. all in one year...ok so thats the pre-cursor to the story here...

We were watching the awards ceremonies last year...and it was out first national competition so needless to say we were all overwhelmed and excited by the atmostphere of the place...the awards ceremonies were coming to an end when they got to the "delphi driving tomorrow's technology award" they went thru the description of the award and the team that won it and all...and of course about halfway through the speech one of the lilttle hints they put in there directly reflected our team so in excitement i screamed...pre-maturily and i got looks from the adults....and as if that wasnt enough when it was announced that we had won the award we ran...i was ahead of the pack....luckily i had an aisle seat....and i ran down the aisle and as i was running a lady from a FORD sponored team stood out in the aisle and BAM i smacked right into her....i picked her up and appologized profusily(*sp)...and ran onto the stage to get the award...it was an awkward moment to say the least...us being in our first national competition and winning an award...

if anyone from that ford team is on this board and knows the person i ran into i would just like to express my deepest appologies...

does anyone remember this event?....or did it go undetected?
