Vegas will likely be the last stop for 1885 unless we do something amazing there.

The official word is: Team 1885 is not going to Atlanta. We decided to keep our money to grow the team due to the more limited budget we have this year compared to last year. Sorry 116... Maybe next year. But we still will be going to Vegas with a minimal team.

I want to thank team 510, Hawaii Five-10, for the amazing amount of spirit they showed, and for overall, being one of the nicest group of people there! And it isn't just me who thinks so, several of our students commented to me about how nice your team members were to them. You're amazing!

And thanks to team 122 for hating the situation that placed us against you every match as much as we did. You're a good team, both on and off the field, and I wish we had been given a chance to compete together.

And a special thanks to all of the volunteers who kept the event moving! Especially to the people who had to hand out goggles who had to stay in one spot all day and couldn't see the field or tv screen!

[quote=Lil' Lavery;589689]Team 116 would like to thank:

Team 343
Sorry we could never see what we could do together. You guys definitely kicked some serious butt. If we had to lose, we're glad it was to you guys and 612, especially in 3 hard-fought close matches. Good luck and see you in Atl.

Thanks for the complements. who knows, maybe we'll hook up in atlanta! yall definantly had an awesome robot too.

Palmetto, here we come!
(P.S.: im the dude u were standing next too before the picking)

Personally, I would like to thank the following teams:

Team 116 - My team, Epsilon Delta. I'm a senior and this is my first year on team, but I'd really like to come back as a mentor or something. I know she's not gonna be reading this but...thanks Jeanine! If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have joined the team.

Team 1885 - A great first pick. You guys played good defense for us and were a reliable ramp too. Loved the purple, by the way.

Team 612 - Chantilly, congrats on beating us. When a few of us took our robot over to your school the day before the shipping deadline, I seriously thought your robot was pathetic. I laughed at your ramp. Glad to see you prove me wrong. (^_^)

I'd also like to thank teams 122 and 345. Honestly, there were a lot of great teams at VCU.

[Priyadarshy]

thanks 116 that makes us feel so good inside

[Ahnxlazyman]

Team 116 makes everyone feel good inside! I know it worked on me

mine might have broke but I think it is the batteries. The ones they come with are crap.

[Ahnxlazyman]

haha you bought them too, did you see us (116) sitting at the tables trying to program em? oh and I was serious about the catching fire part XD

[VanMan]

Timmy, Spencer, and I were in the elevator for like an hour that night. I had like 10 donuts. I learned about lots of stuff. It was a fun night.

Team 2108 would like to thank:

Which ever team pulled the fire alarm at our hotel- Lots of us had not waken up yet because the alarm didn't work on the person who was waking everyone up. I really appreciate waiting outside for half an hour in the cold in shorts that I wear under my turtle costume. Thanks!!!~!

Ya we were. But we were supposed to be up by 6:00AM to pack up but the fire alarm went off at 6:32AM.

Andrew, all it did was start smoking. I think. Or did it really catch fire?

Oh yeah, I'd like to thank whoever pulled that alarm as well. I was still sleeping when that happened, and it wasn't a nice way to wake up.

What other teams were in the hotel with us? I know there was my team, 343, 345, and 2108... And I don't think anyone from 116 pulled it.

Thinking back on the competition, it was AWESOME. I am glad I got Green Hope involved with FIRST.
