Looks like 1114 had it's usual boring weekend, too, eh? Congratuations on not just a tournament win, but taking the RCA and a couple of Dean's List Finalist awards, too. Oh... and website and quality, too. Really... where do you put all these trophies???? Undeneath a "hallway of banners"? :-)

Here's hoping that the RCA translates into the Championship Chairman's, too. It will be well-deserved and a long time coming.

As pleased as I was to see 1114 rocking along at their usual pace, I was even more delighted to see 1241, from Rick Hansen Secondary, not just doing well on the floor (as usual) but taking home Engineering Inspiration. It's been a while since we got our start in FRC, but they literally took us in from the cold our first two years (they were great billets and hosts) and showed us what we needed to go on and collect six consecutive years of FRC awards. Not many teams have such an influcence on events on the other side of the continent!

Great job, Theory 6!

Thanks Karthik for your shout out to Team 781!
On behalf of Team 781 I'd also like to congratulate all the winners this past weekend. The event was wonderful and it was great to see so many teams take home trophies. The energy in the stadium was amazing, from both the East and West side. As always, the consistently strong performance by 1114 and 2056 has raised the standard of FIRST robotics teams in Canada, giving everyone a higher standard to work toward.
Thanks again for a great regional event this weekend, and good luck to everyone!

I personally would like to give a shout out to the army of volunteers who worked long and hard to pull off this dynamic and complex event with a particular attaboy to Alex Cormier who found himself thrust into the job of field supervisor on the West field due to the original field supervisor losing his mother on Thursday. Alex did an admirable job (thanks in large part to the help of the West field FTA Jeff Downs) considering he didn't go through the training beforehand.
Good job to the whole crew one and all.

Thanks Jason! I hope you and your team are doing well there! We worked really hard this year towards not only the build season but also the community and holding workshops.

Team 1241 would like to thank the Quebec teams 2626 and 3117 for not only being wonderful partners but also coming down to GTR this year!

Congratulations to Mr. Phillips of Team 1114 winning the Volunteer of the Year for GTR East!

Congratulations to Team 1503 for winning their second regional. Their robot was simple yet elegant. Nick's driving was just phenomenal and I agree to the fact that he makes a simple robot perform so well!
Congratulations to Stephanie Thomson from 1503 as well for winning the WFA!

Congratulations to Team 781 for winning their first regional since 2002. The Kinetic Knights have really shone this year! Can't wait to see you all again at Buckeye!

Congratulations to teams 188,1075 and 1006 for being the East Regional finalists, you all worked hard all weekend and got better and better after each of your respective qualification matches as well!

Congratulations to Team 3527 for winning the Rookie All-Star award at the East end, your enthusiasm and spirit is truly commendable. This team was loud and spirited throughout the entire competition, literally since Thursday morning! Thanks also for coming down all the way from Mexico! It was a pleasure!

Teams 3560, 3698 and 3705 for all winning awards in their first regional! Team 1241 is truly proud of what they have accomplished this year!
