I think there are a few good robots

Team 118, is overall good. I think they took down all 7 stacks today in atleast one match. Also a fantastic king of the hill.

Team 148 is great at attacking the stack, they take down 5 stacks in under 10 seconds.

Team 1108, the first place team, is doing an awesome job at driving and has some good strategy.

CRyptonite is stacking up a storm and is my far the best stacking bot i have seen this year.

By the way, please come up[ to be and talk to me tommorow if you see me at the competition, i'm the only guy from Cyber Blue.

704 is a zippy bot. And I agree about 1108. They're very good for being a rookie team. From how they were doing one wouldn't guess they were. Most of the teams with a good auto. program are doing very well. Also, thanks for saying 118 is doing good.We kept having problems with our gears so we spent,basically,all of thursday fixing that and then we had to fix our auto. By the end of the day however, everything was working great. We achived our goal. To make our drivers not have a job - Heather

1108 has impressed me since Thursday, when they were one of very few teams that showed up with a well-working robot, and more spirit than I've ever seen in a rookie team. Both of their awards today were well-deserved.

I've also been impressed by 624 Cryptonite, 704, 34, 647 and 148, who has a pretty impressive autonomy period featuring this cool little sensor head that pops up and sweeps back and forth. It reminds me of the little radar that Johnny 5 has in Short Circuit.

There have to be some more teams who I've not mentioned, and to whom I'll have to award belated props tomorrow.

Congrats to my home team THE ROBONAUTS 118 for winning the REGIONAL CHAIRMANS AWARD!!!

Congrats to Lucien Junkin for winning the Volunteer of the year award.

Congrats to team 1010, 704, and 118 for Regional Finalists.

Great regional, great action. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time watching you guys and all the teams there.

That had to be one of the most exciting elimnation series ive seen yet. I was cheering for you guys the whole time in up here in Lubbock.

I cant wait to congratulate all of you guys in person next week. Sorry I couldnt be there this year for regionals, but im going to be there next week cheering you guys on at Relaint Park.

Good Luck!!!!

Since the FIRST site doesn't have a list yet, can anyone tell me about awards from Lone Star? I'm naturally interested about my brother's team - 1164, but curious about the others also.

[heather118]

The list is now up! http://www2.usfirst.org/2003comp/events/TX/awards.html
Check it out man!! unfortunatly 1164 didn't win any awards. They did do very well in the quarterfinals. We actually thought they were going to beat us. It was so close. 1 point. In all I think every robot there was very good. 1108 seemed to sweep the awards this year. Props to them. Guess we'll be seeing them at Naitonals and maybe we'll even see them in the finals again. - Heather

WHAT ABOUT TAEM 231?????

TEAM 231 SORRY

[Kris Verdeyen]

Cute signature there, Heather.

And on to new business - major thanks go out to 118's awesome alliance partners, 1010 and 704, who took the #6 seeded alliance to within 6 measley points of a regional championship. Also, congratulations to 647, 1108, and 34 (did I call it up there, or did I call it?) on a very exciting elim series and the regional championship.

Also a big thanks to teams 57 and 647 for giving us two of our biggest challenges of the regional in matches 68 and 80.

And way to go, Pasadena 231 on your high seed, excellent elim play, and regional sportsmanship award.

To all the teams, I had loads of fun - this year's game is incredible to watch and to play. I'd have to say that the only change I'd make to this year's LSR is six measley points.
