I was busy running around trying to find the keys to our truck to load up the field, so I missed the rest of the awards. Im sure someone else can fill them in in the morning when they recover from a very long day

Will do .

Thanks team 1351 and team 840 for being awesome alliances. We could not have made it that far without such a tight alliance. The last match was incredible. Both 840 and 192 were immobile (we had radio connection issues, robot didn't respond) and it was 254, 968, and 1516 against just 1351. 1351 held its ground like no other and did such an awesome job defending against the poof duet.

thanks for an awesome day, calgames!

I just got back. What a great event! I had a blast announcing with Billfred. I hope you all had fun too; it sure looked like it.

Special thanks goes out to Ken Leung and the rest of the WRRF people for letting the event play out a bit over time. And Ken, your speach at the end was great. High school students, you may not realize it yet, but those words Ken spoke will be very important in your futures, remember them.

Anyway, thanks to the teams for playing some awesome matches out on the field. Thanks to Billfred for coming all the way out from the east coast - you did an incredible job learning all the teams' names. Thanks to all the volunteers and planning committee and all the students that stayed late carrying those oh-so-heavy rolls of carpet.

I hope to see you all next year!

Special thanks should go out to the WRRF planning committee. I'll thank Dave Sheridan (766) in specific, since I worked with him the last few months.

Dave took it upon himself to design the field elements for the event, as well as handle the acquisition and setup of the field. He did an absolutely fantastic job. The field elements looked great and performed just as well as an official FIRST field would. When we encountered obstacles (and there were many) he did an excellent job finding simple solutions. Without the countless hours that he spent prior to the event, and the entire day at the school from early morning to after midnight, there's no way the field would have been fully functional.

Additional thanks to Mike Schmidt for helping to manage the setup of the field on Friday among the many other things he did for the event.

Thanks to Kirk Oden (968) and his dad for helping out to load the truck with the field. Without their help it would have easily taken 3x as long.

Finally, thanks to Billfred for both flying out here on his own dime, and helping me load all of 254's extrmely heavy junk for the event into my car right after getting off a plane from the east coast

Many, many more people deserve thanks and recognition here as well.

[Joobacca]

It was a great match, indeed.

[Cory]

Team 254 is missing a DeWalt charger and 14.4V battery that were last seen somewhere in the vicinity of our pit table.

If anyone found these items, or discovers they are in posession of them, please contact me through PM, AIM, or email.

Thanks,

Cory

I think our high was 113.

We had another match of high 80's, iirc.

It was pretty much all 968 though. We only had maybe two matches in the elims where we scored more than 5-8 balls. We were having radio problems all throughout the elims and were lucky to have control of the bot for more than 10 seconds at a time.
