Go to Post I feel like watching match videos from 2003 could be considered a form of cruel and unusual punishment. - Cory [more]

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.
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.
