Now that CMP is done, analysis of off season events would be welcome.

Maybe some team sustainability talk, how do teams wrap up the year, what is everyone doing to raise the bar from this year.

You'll probably need some additional guests to get some in-depth analysis of the team stuff. Maybe go into how 359 made it to the HOF. What a cool topic that would be.

I would love to participate and talk about our road to the CMP Chairman's Award.
I think its safe to say that unlike many of the previous Hall of Fame winners, our journey is quite different (or most similar to that of 842). As I look at the list of previous winners, I cant help but still be amazed that FIRST put us in the same company with such great teams.
In a way, a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. And we are very excited in focusing our efforts with a new and revised program to improve robot building and outreach WEST of Hawaii.

The Cast should be able to be played directly from Facebook assuming that your Flash is updated to the correct version. Just press the play button and you should be good to go.

If that doesn't work, here's a direct link: http://schreiaj.com/Brocast/2011_Cha..._Up_Edited.mp3

Thanks for the help.

Next week is better for me, as we have a Statewide luncheon tomorrow in Waikiki, and our biggest fundraiser event at Dole Plantation on Thursday. We have about 400 guests again who bought tickets/sponsorship tables at our annual event.

Fun fact about the substitution on Einstein: I was thinking out loud in the stands that they should make the sub cause getting a team as powerful as 330 was their best chance at beating the amazingly stacked winning alliance. One of our alumni happened to have a certain mentor from 2016's phone number because of some facebook tool and decided to call him and give him my advice. The mentor picked up and answered "not now" and the alumni yelled back "check your txts" which had the advice in them. I was super worried that the 2016 mentor would take this the wrong way and have hate for 694 but he, when we ran into him later, just laughed it off and explained that 2016 felt their deployment was too slow and they needed 781 for minibot and considering 177 was having issues at the same time, they decided to hang onto their coupon and I personally think that was absolutely the right decision. The funny thing is that it looks like the alliance wasn't willing to take a risk when the risk could be their only shot at winning because they needed to get a team like 330 but the truth was they took a chance on 781 knowing that them sending up their minibot was their shot at winning the match.

Also I too had just a few issues with the refereeing on Galileo and I might have been the one, in my frustration with the refs, that started the crazy chanting about the penalty in the finals on Galileo.
