Nicely done!

this is the second year in a row that Rochester NY has produced a winning rookie team.

(and BTW another rookie team from Rochester will be at the Buckeye regional - watchout!)

I think Ken was referring to team 1450, Franklin Arts, as the other Rochester rookie team, and they will be going to Cleveland.

CONGRATS!!!!! to teams 1405, 16, and 449 for winning the Chesapeake Regional.

Awesome achievement.... I can't remember the last time a rookie captain team capturing the Regional Chanmpionship. Very cool.

That would be me holding one banner. I'm the president of the team, reduced to propping up a sign. But I'm also the tallest member of the team, so I was the natural choice.

Going to be one great competition here in Rochester next year......

Last year, 3 teams did it, and we are the first this year.

It's been really awesome working with Finney. Too bad I have an obstacle called graduation and finding a job. Anyone know anyone hiring in Rochester, so I can keep working with them?

Edit: an engineering job

[Alex Cormier]

try UPS, over in henreitta i believe, my neighbor works for them and was going to get my brother a job. after like a year you step up from the line work and get a lot more money too.

This is Joe's Mom. Anyone on a WEST coast team know of anyone hiring so Joe can help your team and stay in touch with his family too? My congrats to Finney -- great school, great robot, too far from us!

HMMM One family, two teams, two regional championships, a coincidence? I think not!

So that's why those chairs were there...

It really confused me when I came back and there where three chairs sitting right in front of the playerstation of the practice field...
