Re: 2007 Philly Regional

Well, it's been said a few times that it wasn't our team's first time ever, but whatever. I really liked the regional in Philly more than some others I've been to. It was a bit smaller sure, but it was filled with really great teams and everyone there was awesome (Also, it was nice and cold ). Hello again to Melissa Thiessen, it was great meeting you.

One more thing, for the Firebirds: Can you send me any information you have involving the shipping of robots over to Ghana? I know that our team has 3 robots that were built before *any* of our current members were even on the team, and there's one other that may be fixable from '05. We'd have to fix them up a bit to replace salvaged PWM's and such, but we should be able to have them in working condition again in no time. I talked to a couple of you at the event about it, some said it might be an issue being all the way down in Virginia, others said it should be fine. I just want to make sure we can work it out.

Smile Re: 2007 Philly Regional

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that put on this awesome event. The volunteers were gracious, the judges and referees were great, and the teams were simply amazing. This was the last event of my student FIRST career, and it was a great way to go out. Thanks to 1647 and 357 for being a powerful and energetic alliance. Congratulations to the champions, especially 181 for their first ever win and for representing Connecticut well. 399, your California spirit was intense, thanks for coming out to share it with us. 365, congrats on the well-deserved Chairman's award, and you and your alliance were a very strong foe in the quarter-finals. Rookies, whether you were a ramp, defense, or whatever, you three teams performed impressively and I'm sure you all have bright futures in FIRST.

Once again thanks to everyone and I hope to return to the Philadelphia regional with whatever team I mentor in college.

Re: 2007 Philly Regional

As Mrs. Vanderpool has been the only reply on behalf of our team thus far, I wanted to take the time to post.

First of all, as many long running FIRST teams have experienced over the years the inability to just make that last step to bring home the gold. After 11 years of dedicated teachers, mentors, and engineers the work has paid off and Chuck finally made that last step of bringing home the gold. Personally, I can not past my undying respect far enough to the hard work of these individuals and the amount of inspiration they have given to me throughout these years. Congratulations to all of team 84, near and far, on a long awaited achievement.

To all of those original teams out there, whom may still be waiting to make that final step. Keep striving - encourage your sponsors that their generosity is what assists in your achievements.

On a personal note, yesterday was amazing beyond many levels. Multiple years of student achievement and alumni were represented by 84. I find no words for those individuals, who were the originals, and this many years later, still come "home" to Chuck.

Team 181, I hope you enjoyed the rest of your evening in the city, and "The City of Brotherly Love" was welcoming to you throughout the rest of your stay. Best wishes to you, and hope you will make it to Nationals.

We are ..... 84!

Re: 2007 Philly Regional

All I can say from the last 3 days is WOW! This year was simply amazing for Dawgma, as we finished friday seeded first and seeded fourth at the end of qualifying matches. I want to thank the team 222, the tigertrons, and team 484, the vikings, for being our alliance partners. Though we didn't make it out of the quarter-finals, we all still played some really tough matches. Thank you so much!

And thank you to team 272, the Cyber-Crucaders, for their Best Robot award on friday. I'll have to admit I was a little surprised when your team suddenly surrounded our merry little band, but when you started reading off the award, it was simply amazing (I'm the one who accepted the sword by the way). From coming last year with a barely drivable bot to being recognized by others for our stregth was just exhilarating. We had inspectors, volunteers, and judges commenting to many of our members on our overall effectiveness on the field. I want to say thank you to everyone who gave us praise!

Now I have just one question for the members of 1712...

DAWGMA! WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?

I saw the 578 VCR in place

Our team taped it, I have 8 tapes laying around and I will get them on our site and soap as soon as I possibly can. We recorded the ceremonies, the matches and finally the awards.

Count on something being up in 2 weeks.

Re: 2007 Philly Regional

Team 1647 thanks all the teams at the Philadelphia Regional for making it the best regional FIRST has to offer. We'd especially like to thank teams 357 and 571 for being a part of our awesome alliance!

Good luck to everyone who is going to the Championship event!

It was great meeting you guys as well. It's fantastic to see that the team I helped start is still doing well several years later.

I'd like to thank all of my fellow volunteers, all the wonderful teams, and the fantastic FIRST and Drexel staff members that make this regional work. The Philly regional is like a giant FIRST family reunion, catching up with old friends and making great new friends. Thanks to everyone who makes this regional the warm, friendly family atmosphere that has people coming back for more each year
