2007 Arizona Regional

[Donut]

I have to say this is the best Arizona Regional I've been to yet (and I'm not just saying that because I won Steve Sanghi, though that certainly helped make it good).

I got to meet alot of people from CD there; thank you for the picture Jim, and for leading Fredi to find me (I heard you originally mistook my brother for me). Sorry I didn't get to meet you Ken, but I at least saw who you were this year, and congrats on the Teacher of the Year Award.

Thank you to our alliance partners 2134 and 1343; it was a good shot at the 3rd alliance, and who knows how the 3rd match would have played out without that penalty. And nice work 842, 1726, and 1492; when I first saw who we were against, I wasn't sure we'd even have a chance against you guys.

Congrats to 39, 60, and 1013 for winning the regional and bringing back Team Gila for a few hours at least, and to 842 for a 3rd straight Chairman's Victory; maybe this will be your year in Atlanta? I'd also like to say I'm extremely impressed with 1401 from Mexico this year, their robot and team look like a completely different group this year, and I can't not love anybody that scores in autonomous.

I know we'll see some of you in Atlanta this year, and those of you who qualified maybe we'll see you too (39? 1013? 2134?). It was a great Regional!
