2006 Philadelphia Regional

[Robocat1]

Team 379 had a great time in Philly and hope to make it back every two or three years!

Perhaps the most amazing event was when Mike Mills (who was DJing the event) walked up to me in the stands. He was on our team during years 1 & 2 !
While our alumni often attend CLE to cheer us on (its only 90 minutes away), we never expected to see an alumni there, 6 hours from home!! And he never expected to go to college and have a job where his employer asked him to work a FIRST event (imagine his boss' surprise when Mike knew all about FIRST!).

What a small world FIRST creates!

Thanks to everyone for the fun, hospitatity and support!

Well, I have to say that I had a fun time at Philly on Friday and Saturday. However I was completely surprise that no one pick Team 204, Eastern Robotic Vikings for an alliance . The reason I state this is because of two things:

1. A completely function-able robot. Great maneuverable, they were all over the field.
2. Great defensive robot. They block everyone that was shooting or trying to deliver balls to the corner goals. Also they block MOE on Friday from shooting on the ramp, just wanted to say.

I heard that they were going to the Championship, I wouldn't be surprise if they were a top contender.

Why thank you so much? Yeah, I felt that we should had been selected but its OK, I am proud of my team. We were impress with our friends 84,357,341,365,56,484,1712 and many other teams . But by far our friends of Team 433 and hopefully the Ghanaians for getting the E.I award. We were so happy that you won, you girls deserve it.

Chiniqua and George for rocking the arena, you guys were great. I especially like how George kept the crowd in suspense to wards the end of the day.

The volunteers,Carol and her crew and Rich Kressely for putting on a rocking event, YOU ALL ROCK!

So yeah that's good, hope to see you all in Atlanta. Can't wait.

P.s

Two Things:

1. Why did you think of ERV and our robot?
2. If anyone has any video of our matches, please PM me. Thanks

PHILLY ROCK!

I did not find the suspense as exciting since I was on the field! With the real time scoring being not always 100%, the time between when you thought you won and the screen came up was really intense!

Congrats to 291 and 306! You both turned out fabulous robots at Pittsburgh, and deserved to pick up a ticket to Atlanta. Also, congrats to 177 on their second regional win.

Could you please be a little less vague with that question?
