On another note, good job to 4564 for seeding first and managing to pick up both of the two loudest teams in the stands. Major props for team spirit, but my poor ears.

What a great event Wpi puts on every time. I was shocked by how much the robots and drive teams have improved between Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to all the volunteers for making the event so great and relaxing.

I would like to make a shout out to 5813 who as a rookie built one of the best robots all weekend. One of the most consist top goal shooters and defense breachers. Not to mention a drive team that acted like they have been around for years in first Great job to your team and best of luck at your next event and I hope we can play against each other again in Hartford.

Another shout out to team 839 Rosie robotics on there first ever regional win. Your team had a great low goal cycler and defense breacher and picked a great alliance. 1768 overcame the early qualification difficulties to become an excellent robot being able to shoot top or low very fast. Finally 175 with the climbing device that came to life in eliminations congratulation to all of you On your win.

Special thanks goes out to 2168 and 2067 for joining our alliance we had a powerful alliance for sure if things went alittle different I believe the outcome could have been different.

Looking forward to playing with many of these team again down the road at either pine tree or district championship

I agree, it was a great event all around. You guys played some great defense against us and it really could have gone either way with the bounce of a boulder.

I have to say that watching the event this year was loads of fun. We had our local newspaper from Vermont come down for a day to watch the event and they were really amazed. I wish I could get more people down to this event, it's inspiring. I hope FIRST realizes that having an event like WPI is a massive draw for my kids. I know it's expensive and requires a lot of resources, but it is something special.

Congrats to Rosie, Buzz, and the Robo chiefs for a well fought win. And a hats off to all the other teams that made the event so entertaining. Thanks to everyone who made this happen!

Major kudos to Rosie for trying to use one of their timeouts on our behalf after the first match of the finals! (We had waited too long to use one of ours and it turned out, so hard Rosie.)

It was great to be in the finals opposing Rosie, Buzz, the Robo Chiefs. You played a terrific game!

And a special shoutout to our alliance partners, Red Shift and the Colonials! What a wonderful group of students. I didn't spend much time with the drive teams but every time I did, they were really functioning as a well oiled alliance, listening to each other, strategizing and making it all work as much as possible. If it's a regret that I have after the event, I wish we had double checked every single tiny bit that could have shaken loose after hitting those ramparts as hard as we did.

The volunteers were wonderful. The practice field was terrific. The refs were respectful and listened to us. The judges were thoughtful and asked comprehensive questions.
