Thanks to all teams especially 340, 67 and 191 X-CATS! 191 you guys were right there next to us the whole competition and really felt like an extension of the team. All teams did great and really demonstrated what FIRST is all about!

I must congratulate GRR's animation team, after picking my jaw off the the floor I finished scoring this amazing animation. Simply outstanding!!

we have rouchy to thank for that. one kid worked on the animation. he had 1 or 2 friends help him check everything, but he was the only creator. i'm really happy for him. he worked extremily hard on and off the Robotics season. congrads.

Yup, this was all one pretty much one kid. All his ideas, all his work. Last year he won the award at Pitt the same way, and he still has one more year to go. Look out FIRST... Oh yeah, our robot wasn't too bad either, 13-0, Motorola Quality award, number one seed, Regional champs. But that took a lot of team work and some awesome alliance partners. Thanks 67 & 1126, 2 of the best scouting teams to go along with 2 great robots. See you in Atlanta.

Everybody loved the Visoneers flashing pins. For some reason they kept asking us for them. Where did you get them?

they ran out saturday morning... like an hour after they started handing them out. I had to trade my delphi eliets frisbe for two of em. And, I think they were only handing them out in their pit area...

We won our first two matches at buckeye, but on the third one of the bots fell on us when we tried to hang, blowing one of our tires and messing up one of our grippers. Thank you x-cats for the tire repair kit! The gripper problem kept on componding on itself untill we finaly had to replace the gripper. All went well in our sencond to last round untill we tried to hang and noticed that on of our casters had snapped off at the weld and we had to have it re-welded. We won our last round and that was it.

Yeah, the flashing lights were cool... I never managed to get one though...

Congrats to the winners. Especially 340, who went undefeated.

our team had a great time - thanks to everyone who came up and said "Hi I know you from CD"

I didnt get to meet everyone I wanted to - we were busy most of the time and I was exhausted the rest of the time

it did seem like a few people were dissapointed when they met me, something like, Oh Hi! your Ken?!"

Maybe they were expecting the one on the left side of my CD photo?!
