2014 Peachtree Regional

[guillermohdz]

On behalf of team 2283 I want to thank every volunteer, every judge, mentor and student that participated in the Peachtree Regional. We've been in regionals all around the USA, and we have to say that Atlanta has become our favourite.

The integration between the teams and the cordiality of the volunteers was amazing. We'll surely return to Atlanta the next season. All the teams were willing to help, especially with the batteries that we're not allowed to bring all the way from Mexico.

A special thanks to our alliance, teams 108 and 1683! We hope we can play with you at champs! Congratulations also to 2974 for their Chairman's Award and to team 79 for their Engineering Inspiration Award.

Greetings from Mexico and we'll meet you at St. Louis!

The refereeing staff at Peachtree take great pride in being fair & consistent. The problems show how hard it is to referee a game as complicated as this one is. Thanks for being there & volunteering for three high stress days. (And that is just the game.) Realize if there are robots on the field, so are the referees. Without you, this game would be more of a mad house than it is.

Thanks to the Alliances we played in eliminations. You all deserved to be there. There were well played, tough games. The victories & the defeats.

Thanks to our Alliances partners, 3318 and 4189. Our whole was truly more than the sum of our parts. Your ability to work together and change strategies on the fly was awesome. (I can say that because I have nothing to do with coaching the drive team.)

This was my first year as a robot inspector. It is a great vantage point to see the high quality of the participants, student & mentors, of the FRC teams.

Team 1683 would like to extend thanks to everyone who helped make this past weekend possible: the referees, the GA FIRST volunteers, our team mentors, our team sponsors, GA FIRST executive board, and, of course, all of the great competition. We were breathless as we sat there in the final match, and listened to the sounds of our hearts pounding as we waited for the final score, and we shared that moment with our alliance partners. We would also like to say that it was a close, well played match with finalists 4189, 2974, and 3318 that kept us on the edge of our seats right until that final score was revealed. We know that that match came down to referee decision as have many games of Aerial Assist across many Regional competitions already played.

We would like to congratulate Team 79 for their win in Engineering Inspiration award; your robot was a pleasure to watch. Our team would also like to congratulate Team 2974 for winning the Chairman’s award, we thank you for hosting us at DE this scrimmage season and we will see you in St. Louis!

Team 1683 would also like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Team 5109 from Johns Creek High School. We knew it was tough road for them and it was a massive honor to help them whenever they needed it. It was a privilege to help them develop in their rookie year of FIRST and we are immeasurably proud of their achievements in their first competition.

Team 108 (SigmaC@t) and Team 2283 (Panteras), it was a great privilege to play on an alliance with you. Our team was honored to be picked by and cheer with you and give you high-fives. Throughout competition our scouting team had been focused on the traditional Peachtree Powerhouse teams like 1261, 1319, 2415, 343, 4509, 4026, 4080 and 832; but our out-of-town visitors from Florida and Mexico were obvious to team up together. We just got lucky to be their third pick and representative from Georgia. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Muchas Gracias!! And lets have fun at Championships!

We will see you all again at Peachtree in 2015!

I'll email the head mentor of 1102 and see if he can send me his. He should have the matches that 1102 didn't play in as well.
