If the hungry hungry hippo was up to par during those matches the outcome would have been quite different. Hats off to 195 one of the most gracious teams that I have been privileged to know. 558, a team I know quite a bit about, has stepped up their game to championship caliber this year, watch out St. Louis. 5122 savor this moment to be selected by this alliance. It reflects well on the quality of your team.

4055 we finally did it. It goes to show you that this year is a game of endurance. We had our Rocky moment. And Kitties, hopefully we helped you regain your rightful place on Einstein.

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 New England Championship!

What a fantastic event,

first and foremost I'd just like to say thank you to all the volunteers and event coordinators who made this event, and all the other district events possible, I had many, many doubts about the district system and thankfully they've all been put to rest, it was so cool to see so many deserving New England teams qualify for nationals!

To our alliance partners 558 & 5122 what an awesome run we had! 558 you guys are amazing to work with and I think it's so amazing the friendship that our teams have made this year, now to look forward to our 24+ hour ride to St. Louis together . Also 5122 you guys are one of the best rookies I have seen this year you played your role on our alliance to perfection, you guys have greatness in your future for sure.

I'd also like to give a huge congratulations to the winning alliance of 230, 177, & 4055, those finals matches were insanely intense and your strategy and gameplay against us worked flawlessly. 230, you built an amazing machine this year, the fact that you've been to the finals in every single event and won 2 of them, is no accident. 177 I've always been inspired by your machines and this year is no exception, St. Louis better watch out, because the Bobcats are back. And finally to 4055 this was such a well deserved win for you guys, in just 3 short years you've built up your team to a true force to be reckoned with and also congratulations on your first ever competition win!

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 New England Championship!

Wow, what an incredible weekend. First and foremost, thanks to all the volunteers who made this possible, and huge congratulations to volunteer of the year Ellen McIsaac. Ellen, I have fond memories of you as a student on the Uberbots. I knew then you'd go far, and you certainly have.

To our alliance partners 195 and 5122, it was great working with you. 5122, you are one of the best, if not the best, rookie teams I've ever seen. And 195, the friendship our teams have built this year is a joy for me to watch as a mentor and an example of what FIRST is all about. If I have to spend 24 hours on a bus, I'm glad it's with you guys.

To 230, 177 and 4055, congratulations on some well played finals matched. We've played with and against you guys many times this year and in past years, and it's always hard fought. Hoping some of us wind up in the same division in St. Louis.

Finally, congrats to all the Chairman's winners and to Sandra Brino for her Woodie Flowers award. Well deserved, all.

See you in St. Louis!!

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 New England Championship!

The inaugural NECMP was insane. Every match was awesome.
Congratulations to the winning alliance. Very well done.
Go to the WCMP and represent New England with pride.

I want to add my thanks too all the volunteers and the committee who ran this event. It was definitely a great show and it went off like clockwork. Also to acknowledge the amazing opportunity presented by the use of the VIP seats for scouting. I only hope that continues in years to come and expands to other events.

A huge congratulations to Sandra Brino on her Woodie Flowers win. She is such a gracious and deserving mentor. So glad to see that you were able to describe that to the judges so they could see what the rest of us already knew.

A huge congrats to 2067 for your chairman's win. You are a great role model for us all.

To 195, 558, and 5122, you guys were an amazing alliance and we were humbled by the idea of taking you on (again). Next time maybe we can be on the same side of the field.

To our wonderful friends at 4055... Third times the charm! Those finals at Hartford and Southington were just practice leading up to the big show. So proud that we finally pulled out the win together.

And a huge shout out to 177, thank you for being the missing piece to our alliance. You were amazing team players and showed us why you are an Einstein caliber team. What a wild ride!

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 New England Championship!

I was informed that the final standings weren't posted yet, so I finished mine and put them here(https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw4...t?usp=sharing). Teams in green are the 24 qualifiers for CMP. This only includes teams that attended NECMP, plus one of the Rookie All Star winners.

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 New England Championship!

There's only one thing missing from this incredible championship event thread,
a poem!
(provided by Deb Pontbriant, team 230 mentor)

The Gaelhawks want to thank teams 177 and 4055
For joining us in catching, trussing and shooting high

From the first moment waiting for the signal to start
Knowing that working together had to be an art

Human players, drivers, coaches and robots combined
Making decisions by thinking together with one mind

Conjoining our teams to form a STEM force of one
Without your help, the blue alliance wouldn’t have won

NRG, Bobcats and Gaelhawks aligned
To form Kittygearhawks behind the line

This is the beginning and not the end
For us all, to forge a new understanding of STEM

So Thank you, Thank you, from the Gaelhawks to you
We can’t wait to see what more we can do


Thanks Deb, and thanks to teams 195, 558, and 5122 for providing such great competition, sportsmanship, and support, You guys are the best, without you we could not be the organization we are today.

And a special thanks to team 228 GUS, you've helped us out at every competition this year, we are eternally in your debt. Can't wait to get together in St. Louis!

Sincerely,
Steve.

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 New England Championship!

just woke up. wot happen?

All I can say right now is "WOW."

Kim! You did a great job there!

I could not get a mental grip over how intense each match was; I'd look at an alliance during a qualifier and think "Oh, man that's going to be a blowout!" Then I'd see the other alliance! and think "OMG, it's a toss up!"

The hockey rink was sagging under the weight of blue banners!

One thing bugs me though...
People were unclear on what the official name of the event, and maybe we should straighten it out now:
New England "Regional" Championship
or
New England "District" Championship?

And according to the math (and the official email from FIRST) 2168 qualified for St. Louis, but regretfully we cannot go this year.

This might cheer up someone out there.

This may make a team very happy but it makes me sad. 2010 was my first year on 1922 OzRam and the last year we qualified to go. We are a small team and I still do not know how we were able to raise enough to fly to Atlanta and book rooms without charging the members for anything except food. However, after seeing how hard the team worked to create a robot good enough to be finalists in 1 regional and winners of another we could not imagine not going. One of the very few things I dislike about FIRST is the expense but I see no way around that. It has just given me more resolve to get more sponsors between now and next year.
