Re: Canada's Wonderland Results

Me on WB Superstar. I know what you are saying. I will agree that I have no voice for singing. Karthik on the other hand believes that he has a voice. We all know better.

I would like to thank all of the people that volunteered to help at our 1st off season event. Special thanks to all from Team 48 who graciously gave of their time and came to our event.

A special thanks also to Karthik who made me seem like a genius with the picking of winners during the skills event. By the end all of the teams were asking him to pick their opponents rather than jinx them. It was a fun time and I had a blast interacting with everyone. It was nice being at an event with less pressure.

Re: Canada's Wonderland Results

It was definately a lot of fun to be at the wonderland event except for the food and drink prices. $2.75 for a bottle of soda. The highlight of the day for me was in the quater finals round 2. 1053 + 1397 vs 190 + 1309. 190 hung in autonomous and then put their plastic arms out to cover the bar. We (1053) came up from the side and hung on top of their plastic arm. Our robot looked like it was about to fall off because it was sitting on top of their plastic arm. So 190 unfolded their massive arm, and started rocking their massive robot back and forth with it to try to get us off. Although we lost the match, it was definately the highlight of the day (for me)



edit: I'd also like to say congrats to the finalists, and to 1241 to scoring 210 points in the skills competition. That is just unbelievable

Re: Canada's Wonderland Results

congrats to 1241, 1114, 1075 for winning.

Thanks to all the volunteers and organisers for such a great event.

The teams were surely on their best, also some teams from states were awesome, specially 190's autonmous hanging bot.

We hung 13 out of 15 matches, and had a 62.00 averages(which is third highest through out) we had tons of fun, hope to c u all again

Re: Canada's Wonderland Results

First, I'd like to say that everyone behind the scenes did an EXCELLENT job. It was a great venue (perfect, I'd say), and Karthik and Steve had quite the verbal war going...

Overall, everything went great... it was a beautiful day and an exciting, fun event. Kudos to all those that planned this. Brandon and I had a wonderful time (and Canada, as a whole, was fun too). Although I can say that Karthik serenading me was interesting...I've never been so red in my life!

You guys can say what you want about my singing, but I know deep down you really loved it. I'm an angel without wings here.

I aim to please.

For those of you who don't know, I decided to serenade Amanda with that good ol' Righteous Brothers tune, "You've Lost That Loving Feeling". Things were going well until my mic was cut. I guess someone just got jealous of my beautiful voice.

I would like to thank Mr. Breadner for organizing this off-season event and congrate the champs and finalists of this event. Also, our wonderful MC, Karthik and our anouncer Steve... With their hillarious debate with the 1114 robot "not having to turn" to change directions...

An angel.....riiiiiight. A Hell's Angel, maybe....

Keep up the "good" work, Karthik. We need your "angelic" voice in top form for the IRI Talent Show.

It was nice being at an event with less pressure.
The four of us from Team 48 who were there at Canada's Wonderland all had a great time. I personally had the fun job of operating the scoring software for most of the competition. Thank you to Rick Petty and Eric Rasmussen from FIRST for showing me how to use such a powerful yet user-friendly system. I now have a greater respect and understanding for how much work went into its development.

As far as the competition goes, I had a great view of the action going on throughout the day - the Battle of the Biggest Mouths in Canada was captivating as Karthik and Steve W. entertained everyone all day! Props to Karthik for only tripping over the field boundary twice during his inaugural MC effort. Props to Steve for taking time out of his busy schedule pimping Canada's Wonderland T-shirts (to his credit, they sold out) to stop by the Scorer's Table and announce the match results once in awhile! Seriously, Karthik, you didn't act like a rookie MC and Steve, you were as professional and as exciting as ever. Both of you did an amazing job and I'm glad I was there to witness your antics firsthand - yes, even Karthik's singing.

Oh yeah, there was a robotics competition on Saturday, too - 190 was as good as advertized, 1241 was a scoring machine, 188 relentlessly pursued their objectives on the field, and 1114 proved once again they were one of the elite teams in 2004. The match rotation was so fast on Saturday - I gotta give credit to all the pit crews who kept those bots running strong match after match. Great job to everyone who participated.

Special thanks to Mark Breadner for organizing the event and for finding places for four 48 geeks who wanted to come up and volunteer. Thanks also to Canada's Wonderland for providing the excellent venue for the event - you were wonderful hosts. Team 48 hopes to see everyone at CW next year, hopefully with a robot in tow.

I think it was - being compared to John Candy is a flattering proposition. But perhaps I exaggerated? Maybe I meant to say "the Battle of the Biggest Mouths in Canada's Wonderland at the Kingswood Theatre on June 5, 2004"?
