Our extreme leap of membership brought on that problem, the way to combat it is to set up a meeting with a particular group of companies. The truth is if you get the meeting with a company that the students on your team are the main presentors you allmost always walk out with something.

And also thanks to Ellery! You did a great job as MC!

That we even won a single match was incredible for us (let alone making it to the semi finals!!). I'd like to REALLY thank 1728 and 1405 for picking us, as we had so many problems with our robot over the past couple days. We all feel extremely fortunate.

Congratulations to all of the winners and competitors (esp. 1511 for their Chairman's award). I'm not sure I have seen so many underdogs win in elimation matches in a single competition; it made for some extremely exciting matches.

Also thanks to everyone who cheered with us, it was great fun! (sorry to the person on 1126 who I hit with the GM flag a few times while waving it! Haha!)

Too bad 1728 fell off our ramp.

Jondar Bradshaw was amazing with his play by play, and it was a great pleasure to eat and talk with them last night. Ellery, you were awesome as MC. Congrats to the winning alliance for all your hard work to get there. 1511, all I can say is congrats on all the hard work you put into the award. It has been amazing working with you this past year and seeing how much you do to spread the word of FIRST.

To all involved in the Finger Lakes Regional:

Excellent job! This was MOE 365's first visit to Rochester and we had a great time. The venue was fantastic, everyone was professional and friendly, and the teams were competitive and gracious. Also, the team social was a nice break from the stress of the day.

Rochester Weather Gods - thanks for showing us the diversity of weather in the area - from below freezing and snow to jacket weather and rain.

Congratulations to the Finalists and Champions, you played some great matches.

Uber-congrats to Team 1511, a very deserving Chairman's Award winner.

And special thanks to all the friends we made over the past few days.

Perhaps we will see you again next year!

Best of luck during the rest of the season!

1511 worked very hard this year you were all very deticated over the summer doing over 40 public demonstrations. (we were only able to do 21 things) And the ruckus was a lot of hard work to put together we witnessed it.

Our team really has a lot of respect for you especially when you cheered us on when we moved on to the semifinals in boston. Congrats on the chairmans award.

Big Congrats to team 1511 for winning the Chairmans, from some old friends in Windsor Locks CT!!!!

[SSMike]

Congrats to 1511 for winning Chairman's! You guys really deserved it! With 40 events (community) a year who wouldn't give it to you! You guys are amazing!

A Huge thanks and congrats to teams 1713 and 1450 for being awesome alliance partners and helping us bring home the gold. We couldn't have done it without you. See you in Atlanta!

I will say congrats to all winners of any other awards at any competiton, because you guys deserve it. But even those who didn't deserve a HUGE round of applause for just making it to the competitions and being able to watch your robot. We all know this is a hard challenge but we all did it! Just remember its not how good your robot does but how much closer you become not only with your team but others as well

Special thanks to the X-Cats (191) for cheering with us during finals. That helped more than you know!

Also on a side note, I absolutely loved team 316's (LunaTecs) Robot this year! If anyone has a picture of it (or anyone elses robot) could you send it to me?

It was awesome being next to guys in the pit and being paired up on the field. I had a great time!
