Who's excited about this event?!

Can't believe Day 0 is already tomorrow! Team 223 is just about ready to go!

Day 1 is done. We've all made lots of friends and worked with lots of teams, helping to get everyone out onto the competition field, in the true spirit of FIRST.

I specifically wanted to give my heartfelt thanks and admiration to all of the students from the various teams who helped teams 1370 and 75 with the Bike Build event. Without your assistance, we could not have given 12 brand-new bikes to the children of the Boys & Girls Club of Trenton. Your assistance and willingness to help out will be an inspiration to these kids for a long time.

Personally, I was truly impressed by how many students dropped what they were doing to come help us put these bikes together. For both myself and my team, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Words cannot do justice to how grateful we truly are to all of you.

Thank you.

TCNJ is done and in the books (and no-one has posted to this thread about it?!?)...

Congratulations to the Winners, 56, 293, and 224. You guys rocked everything you were doing.

Special shout-out to the Finalists, 103, 2590, and 1881. Playing match 66 with 103 and 2590, feeding Nemesis as fast as they could fire and restock was awesome for the day's high score (168). It made match 70 where we had to watch Nemesis turn around and wipe the arena with us that much less painful. We plan on seeing all of you again at MAR Championships, at least.

Congratulations to 1257 for the UL Safety Award. After talking with your Safety Captain and looking at some of the processes you have in place, we knew you deserved the award if anybody did. I had mentioned that the local SME chapter may have some resources for continuing your journey through improving the safety and manufacturing culture of the team. The local chapter rep is Tugrul Ozel at Rutgers in the Industrial Engineering Department.

Finally, to our alliance partners, 1143 and 4750, you guys were great. We didn't advance far as a team, but we were hanging in there scrapping the entire time.
