2014 Tech Valley Regional

[minhnhatbui]

Many, many thanks to everyone at Tech Valley, from the volunteers to the teams, students and mentors: your warm welcome has melted our hearts and we were happy and blessed to be part of this inaugural event and be able to meet incredible teams.

Kudos to 250 and 145, best alliance partners. Going through finals was exciting, but very sorry to let you guys down because of our catapult failure. Timeouts weren't enough and we insisted on calling the backup team to replace us, but 250 refused. I stand behind my students: you guys should have called a backup team.

Congratulations to 20, 1126 and 229 for this well-deserved regional win. You guys were fantastic. 340 is an inspiration to us. Thank you 1511 for helping us with tools. Thank you to all who tried to speak French to us, it made us feel at home.

We were in awe and admiration in front of so many great and well-established teams - 20, 340, 358, 1126, to name a few - and competing against you all was a great honour. We definitely learned a lot.
