2013 BAE Systems Granite State Regional

[O'Sancheski]

The 2013 Granite State Regional was the best regional that I have been too in my 6 years of FIRST. I would like to thank all the volunteers and coordinators that ran the event. It was run so smoothly and we even were running a little bit ahead of schedule on Saturday.

To the people over on 610. Thank you for picking 4124. Working with you guys was amazing. The students and mentors blew me away at their friendliness and willingness to help. The best example was when both of our twins were having communication problems right before eliminations had started and the students of 610 came over to our pits and fixed both 229 and 4124 knowing that they might be facing 229 in eliminations. That shows true gracious professionalism. You guys are without a doubt the best team that I have worked with.

To 3609, The Duct Tape Dragons. I will echo what Nick said and say that you were a steal in the draft. You guys should have not lasted that far in the draft and were the pick that made our alliance. I walked in on Thursday morning and told myself that you guys would be a great pick. Your amazing defense and willingness to do anything that we told you will make you a great alliance partner forever. I am so happy that you guys are going to championships.

Another congratulations goes to Chaos for winning chairmain's. You guys deserved the crown and look forward to competing with you at champs.

Last but not least. Thank you to all the students and mentors of Clarkson Robotics for making my first regional as a mentor the most memorable event that I have ever been too. I look forward to many more to come.
