Re: NYC Regional

Systemetric, Stuypulse and our ally was 421, who I think are The Warriors?

Systemetrics 'Safety Captain' did see your station and was very impressed, a very well deserved safety award 1597. Overall the Refs did a good job, especially given the amount of action going on. Our robot alone toppled/got pushed over 3 times today and I know others were pushed about a lot as well. The technical hitches (e.g. scoreboards, team numbers, our national anthem yesterday...) didn't help.

I was very impressed by the Brazilians and have told them as such. From what I've seen, their robot was far better than their position at the end of the qualifiers would suggest, and I hope all the best to them in the future. 348 had a neat looking robot which deservedly got an award for engineering. However I am only singling out a couple here, I could type all night about how good EVERYONE's robots and teams were.

As for a moment that will stick in my head? Our second semi-final heat... we had lost, so everyone was resigned to the fact we were out of the competition, fairly down until the announcement of the other sides disqualification, at which point I was surrounded (and involved in) one of the loudest cheers I have ever heard

Thank you so much to everyone for a great few days, all the teams, judges, refs, sponsors, volunteers and anyone else who has helped towrds the organization and running of a great few days. Although I'm off to Uni next year, I hope I shall return for a future NYC Regional soon, the last few days have been brilliant.


Oh, and 694... Ollie was still wearing your team shirt and his medal when we went for our team dinner this evening We hope to hear from you soon.
