2007 Long Island Regional

[Mark McLeod]

My thanks and congratulations to:

Teams 1203 Pandemonium and 1688 Stick Shift our alliance members for a great run ending in silver and some really exciting moments put up by 270, 527, & 1606 in the Quarterfinals as well as 287, 533, & 1537 in the Semi’s.

And of course the Finals where we were sent packing by:
234 - so many members volunteered at SBPLI and they gave our kids the opportunity to learn how to be good hosts. We hope to make it out to IRI sometime Chris, but this summer I'll be in New Mexico with another youth group.
229 - had great spirit and as a Scot I admire any man in a kilt.
545 - For great ramp-aging and for bringing home one of the winners’ trophies for Long Island.

The referees, led by Jim Stephenson, made some really tough, fair calls. I missed seeing Denise in stripes, though

I have to thank so many teams for assistance we received from our “family,” as Debbie from 564 likes to call it, especially,
271 Bayshore - for their machining help, and pressing BaneBot pinions on Fisher Price motors.
514 Miller Place - for their machining help and for constantly trading the mini-BaneBot transmissions back and forth. I’ve lost track of who’s using the 64:1 and who’s using the 125:1...
There were parts of both of these great teams in the Finals.

Congratulations to our Chairman's Award Winners, Team 1601 Quantum Samurai. Very well deserved. (We'll get that teleconferencing working!)

Finally, I really enjoying working with so many students and teams. I know it was under duress and pressure to get out on the field, but everybody was working by the end. I hope you all took home some great memories, ideas from other robots, and spirit from other teams to inspire you.

i personally have a few thank you's to hand out...

271 - thanks for choosing us, and tolerating the "choose 3rd alliance partner via AIM on a laptop in the field" system, and being a great alliance parter
569 - thanks for being a fantastic alliance partner, and having some great torque.
271+569 - for playing hard, even in the face of some weird ref calls

358 - someone from your team gave me a miniDV tape right when i needed it, just gave it to me, i offered to borrow, rip the video and return, i offered to buy it, but they just gave it to me...THANKS!

congrats to the winners of all awards and whatnot

and on one other note, i left my tripod in the stands on thursday night, and never got it back...did any teams pick up a silver Lunhof tripod with a Leitz-Wetzlar ball joint head mount?

A BIG Congrats to 229 on your regional win. Of course a congrats to all the team but I had to give a shout as an Almni first. With Three Regional Championships, and five metals, in the last four years does this still make you you the Smallest of the Big Dogs? Awsome job especially on a "rebuilding year." See you at the big dance.

PS: I'm sure the up coming Lego League and Vex Competitions at Clarkson will be an awsome time. I may just have to wander on up there.....
