Pittsburgh Regional Thanks

[camtunkpa]

222 definately has to thank team 48 and 1038 for chosing us to complete their alliance. This alliance gave us a great opportunity to show off our defense!

Also a huge thanks to all the FIRST volunteers for making this event run smoothly!

Congrats to teams 123, 337, and 247 you guys had a well balanced alliance and some crazy Bear defense.

Good luck to all the teams competing at other regionals!

[Dan 1038]

We at 1038 were thrilled to be invited into your alliance along with 222, the elimination rounds were incredible with you guys! I also want to congratulate the winners from 123, 247, and 337 - you played us tough and fair throughout the finals. All of the teams in Pitt deserve to be recognized for thier effort and sportsmanship, what a great bunch. We at 1038 look forward to competing with you guys again in Buckeye, we may even get some additional aerobatic footage...

BTW, expect to see that little video flip on a "You Tube" near you very soon....

Team 123 would like to extend a SPECIAL THANKS to team 314 "BIG MOE" for the greeeeeat play during the qualifing rounds, we were matched up with them for 5 of our 9 matches and we were able to climb the "BIG MOE BOT" each time to help us go 8 & 0 during the first 8 matches. We wanted to choose them to advance into the finals but our strategy required a 2 bot lift for the 60 point bonus "which worked well" to get us the winners Banner. Hope you guys do well in the Detroit regional... we'll be lookin for you. THANKS AGAIN BIG MOE team 314...

Also, congrats to all the other teams, this was truly a winning experience. Great regional to attend (except the darn floors) I can't tell you how many toll boxes I helped pick up from the uneven floors.

I would like to extend more thanks to 48 for picking 1038, and to 222 for helping make our alliance go so far.

And 48, just one, two, or four words, depending on your interpretation:

"KUKUKU-YEAH!"

[Andrew Blair]

More than anything, I'd like to thank Brandon Martus for his work on the field. Whenever we had a stupid problem or complaint, even when it was our own fault (like a lone aluminum chip shorting pwm pins), he was very patient and was a big help regardless of our issues. Great job Brandon!

Dan said it best, but I want to also thank 48 for choosing 1038 to be their hanger at Pittsburgh. I also want to thank Team 158 for loaning us a back-up battery for our chiclet and a radio when ours broke in the semi's.

I want to congratulate 123, 247 and 337 for their win. I look forward to competing with you all in Atlanta.

Good luck to all the other teams, you made Pittsuburgh a great Regional and I look forward to returning their next year.

Thanks to 1708 for picking us, and 63 for being a great alliance partner (congrats on the chairman's award too), we came close...

Also thanks to 1008 (?) for letting us borrow tools from you several times.

You all asked for it and here it is.

I'd like to thank team 375-The Robotic Plague-for picking us in the first round and also team 1629 for making great alliance partners! We made a great alliance! We were almost in finals! Good luck at your other regionals...Maybe we'll all see each other at Nationals!

Awesome - not quite a barrel roll, though.

[Jimmy Nichols]

Not quite, but a great clip.

Rick noticed that if our arms were in the right position, you may have cleared the player station wall.

And yet another reason for us to build up spare arms...
