The NERDS still shaking things up and 60 still a master at driving!

In a perverse sort of way I feel honored to see us get thoroughly beat up by you guys. Wait till next year.

Special tip of the hat to the Bulldogs and the Monsters. Hope to team up with you again to continue to shake the AZ regional(s) up.

What a fun regional! For those who don't know, we had a Forbes family reunion. I have been mentoring the NERDS since 2006. My son Steven was on the NERDS that year, mentored themthe next four years, and since 2011 has been mentoring 842 Falcons. My brother David and my sons Gary and Kevin helped start 4183 Bit Buckets, and have been mentoring them since.

We got to play against the Bit Buckets in the quarter finals, it took three matches but we pulled off a win. After winning the semis, we fought hard but could not take the incredible alliance of 2486, 842 and 2403. Congratulations to the Regional Winners, you were fantastic! And make that a double, counting the Chairman's Award for 2486, and Engineering Inspiration for 2403. You make me proud to be a part of FIRST in AZ.

A very big THANK YOU to the Bulldogs, team 60, for picking us to play with you! and the Gila Monsters, 3785 for joining our great alliance! This regional was the first time I was "behind the glass" and you made eliminations a fun, exciting experience.

Also a huge thanks to all the volunteers that made the regional happen. I was very impressed with how smoothly everything ran. Great job!

I think the only question will be if they are the same week or not.... (hopefully not)

[MrForbes]

Not likely, as it would require too many volunteers.

Way to go 2486, 842, and 2403!!!! You guys were awesome!!

Also thanks to 60 and 1726 for picking us for your alliance. We were/are honored to be on the team. We've realized since being back we've been in the elimination rounds with 60 three out of our four years back!! Twice in the finals in a row!!

From what I understand, the first will be the same (week 4) and the second will follow around week 6.
