This is not correct. The result are backwards. 624 alliance won TRR and 1477 alliance were the finalist.

I would just like to say that Cyberwolves earned the Spirit Award and they truly earned some of that at the check-in/information table with the help of Shadetree Mechanics and all of the songs they were all singing - loudly. (Yes, I lost control of the check-in/information table yesterday afternoon. Totally.)

Special shout out to Gatorzilla, FRC 2936, for graciously helping to facilitate an index card quilt for TRR. The theme for this quilt was: What do off-season competitions mean to you? The quilt is small but it is the perfect size for Mr. Sperry's classroom, serving as a thank you from everyone who attended the 2012 Texas Robot Roundup off-season.

It was a fun and well-planned event. Safe travels, everyone!

Oops, that was me incorrectly copying and pasting things way too late last night when I was exhausted. It's corrected now. My apologies everyone!

Spectrum 3847 would like to thank everyone that helped organize and run TRR this year. It was an amazing event. It's great to get so many Texas teams together once a year to battle it out in the sport we all love. It's great to get to see so many of our friends.

We're already looking forward to next year.

I had an absolute blast...and I was just there to watch. Good job CANs and Jess!

All the teams should be very glad to have such opportunities like TRR.

Keep it up, can't wait to see what all yall come up with in 2013.

Texas Torque had a great time at the second annual Texas Robot Roundup. Those two matches in the finals were really exciting and it was nice that everyone seemed to be playing without any big breakdowns.

There are so many people to thank for putting on such a well-run event. I'll just add my thanks to all those that helped, especially Jess Jankowitsch.

Congratulations to 118 for repeating as TRR champions. It's quite amazing to watch your robot zip around the field.

Congratulations to 624 for having such a great year, including winning just about everything at TRR: Mentor Match, Can Drive, the Xbox, Skills Challenge, and the Roundup. It was fun winning the Skills Challenge with you.

457 played terrific defense in the final's matches. I'm glad you were on our side at the Alamo Regional. Too bad we had to play against you (and lose) at TRR and OMB.

Thanks to 148, 2833, and 4271 for being part of our alliance. We finally got to be part of a triple balance!
