Seems like every time I had a no-show for a scheduled practice time and was looking for a team ready to fill the slot, 987 was right there.

Two lessons: practice makes perfect, and knowledge is power. Congratulation to the winners 987, 190, 177.

A side note: many of us in the Newton stands were really impressed by the solidarity this alliance displayed when they elected to go into battle dressed all in 190 shirts. One alliance, working together, awesome to behold.

190 was the A.C. 987 ranked in the low 30's.

The official team colors (and hence tee shirts) of teams 190, 177, and 987 were all maroon anyway.

Actually, we just happened to pick partners with the same color shirts as us (a fun bonus to getting two awesome partners). If you looked up in the stands, we were one big mass of maroon shirts, all standing up and cheering at the same time.

Re: 190, 177, 987!!!! 2007 Rack and Roll Champions!!

Man, watching 190/987/177 win the Championship was great. They all performed extremely well and really shined above the rest (but good job to 70, 330, and their other partner). Even though the winning alliance wasn't out of Galileo, it was still a great pleasure to watch.

I'd like to thank, as well, 987 for their help at SVR and also congratulate 190 on their SVR win.



Also, did anybody else notice that the winning alliance was all maroon colored?...

Wow, Richard, your kind words are flattering to say the least. We will take credit for the note regarding the value of using practice field time but can't take credit for some of the other nice things said...we were seeded 33rd I believe and picked by an awesome group (190) as their first pick followed by them picking another great team (177) and it was just a Karma like coincidence that we all are maroon colored teams (a sign?) and symbolic of the awesome teamwork needed to pull off the upsets.

We could have had you in the final matches at newton... 2 points made the difference on both of the matches (minus the DQ...)

great job 177, 987, and 190. we will look forward to seeing you there again next year

Thanks for all of the kind words everyone! And to 190 and 987 for being such outragiously great alliance partners!! (color matching, although wicked cool, was not intended)

Thanks also to everyone we faced for putting up a great fight!

And to Techno Ticks (team 236)for letting us borrow their batteries (and being great alliance partners in Hartford)!!!!

Another congrats to 178 for their Championship Engineering Inspiration Award. Lastly a special congrats to team Moe 365 for entering the FIRST Hall of Fame by winning the championship chairmans award. Job well done everybody!
