PS. Team 179, what was that green slime dripping from your robot?

As explained at metto, its regulation green slime! and our secret to our miracle physics.

Yup... I am ending my FIRST career as a student at the big house.

... But I will be back as a mentor and a volunteer. Just like Evan (from my team) says, "Arefin will never quit FIRST."

Thanks for everyone for the complements.

Thanks to team 25 and 301 for accepting to be in our alliance. I'm still completly positive that our alliance was the best we could have done. Too bad things happend that way. Although I don't agree with the ref's call in the 3rd match of the finals we accept it because a ref's call is a final call.

Also special thanks to team 845 for being so kind with us and giving us such a warm time in their state. You guys are awsome and your robot is a great machine.

Thanks everyone and see you all at The Championships.

Congrats to 1466 , 179 , 1051!!!

<To 179> you guys' know there's only one more comp. left right? If you win that one, then you guys will officially pimp. Keep it up guys...I'm still amazed!

[Collmandoman]

Hey all~ Just don't forget about 1051 ~ Swamp was great, and I know they will agree with me, it wouldn't have happened without 1051 =) The strategy was what won it, the teamplay in my opinion was unapproachable and I think these are the only teams we could have won with

edit: oops - bad memory
1051 gave us a hard time with 61 and 108 at UCF in the QF's, they capped like crazy!

At Palmetto 1051 adapted and played defense for us in the second two matches of finals giving 1466 and us time to put up the extra rows at the end.

Thanks Kyle, but I give a lot of credit to the alliances we've had. It's a team effort all the way, and great to work with teams like these

[Collmandoman]

Does anyone have any video on the quaterfinals and on that they would like to post or send me? Thanks =)

I posted a picture of the back center goal stack for disscussion at

It was awesome.
The red endzone had another unusual tetra position. (see attached)
1251 was down for the count but didn't give up without a fight.

As the announcer I could not follow all the action. It was the most exciting 2.25 minutes in many years for me. I know for the drivers and teams it will be savored for a long time to come.

Team 11 got judges award and autodesk visualization.

Congrats to the winners and finalists.


Who liked our cheering at the social outside?

[R81Honda]

How could I forget? Thanks to the judges, refs, crew (specially for answering all of my stupid questions) and of course the MC and announcer! The MC and announcer were so excited and enthusiastic while doing their jobs, it really made the event special!
