UPDATE: AZ Regional

[BionicAlumni]

So I have been out of the country for the last week and this is my first chance to reply on this thread.

First off I want to say I was totally impressed with team 980. This team not only had an amazing bot, but was an one of the most friendly teams I have ever dealt with. Every question I had was answered by students, and several different ones at that. GREAT JOB guys! In just a few short years you have become a west coast powerhouse, something I always thought took atleast 5 or 6 years to get done.
In the semi finals this team was even heads up enough to get down off the bar with 4 teams hanging because they realzied that even with the bar points the alliance didn't have enough balls to win. That kind of quick thinking under pessure is what will win you regional and national championship. Good luck with the rest of your regionals and nationals team 980

Team 60 was amazing. When I comp was announced I didn't think anyone would design a robot that does EVERYTHING well. Boy was I wrong. This team is very good at all asspects of the game.

Team 1212 had to have the best shirts of the comp with "Its all temporary........unless it works" This has to be the perfect first moto!

Finally I have don't know if anyone from this team reads these forums or not, but I want to give a HUGE thank you to team 861. After a whole lot of work and politics on thursday and friday you were a breath of fresh air. Once I stepped back a little and got away from all the behind the scenes stuff and worked with your team I realized exactly what FIRST is all about. Your team inspired ME. Thank you very much for showing me why I love first and why I will be back next year.

I had a great time, thank you for everyone envolved!
