2007 Championship Congrats

[Lil' Lavery]

I'm going to lump my thank-yous in as well.
Thanks to 1595 for picking us. You guys were tremendous partners, an amazing alliance captains. Sorry for what happened to your arm (first the gas spring, which was repaired, but then the whole top portion getting ripped off! ), and not being able to earn a medal with you guys.
Thanks to 93 for also being amazing partners. Thanks also for allowing us to use your battery charger (and batteries) during the elimination run. You guys were terrific!
Thanks to Paul Copioli and 217 for helping 1595 repair their arm after the gas spring broke. That was an excellent demonstration of Gracious Professionalism, especially right after we eliminated you. Best of luck at IRI, we really owe you.
Thanks to 45 for being such great opponents and friends. We had 3 great matches against you guys in a row (Q98, then the pair of QFs). You guys were a ton of fun to play against, and hope we can actually be partners at IRI!
Thanks to 1885 for being great friends. It was nice to have some familiar faces to talk to, especially just across the pit lane. Wish you could have been in Galileo so we might have been able to partner up again.
Thanks to 612 for watching some of our elimination matches, despite you being in a different division. It was nice to know we had your support!

I'd like to give a big congrats to the winners, 190, 177, and 987. Good job guys. I'd also like to congratulate all the teams that made it to the finals. Winning a division is no easy thing and it took a lot of hard work, and a lot of teamwork to get that far. Finally I'd like to congratulate all the teams who were there. Simply having a robot built is a tough job.

Most importantly I'd like to thank our two alliance partners, teams 330 and 1270. Both of you guys were really great to work with and had really good robots. It was an honor and privilege to be your alliance partner and the matches with you guys were exciting.

I would personally like to thank team 148 who came through for us in a clinch.
On Wednesday night, we found out that the flight the 177 students were on was cancelled due to bad weather and such. Their flight was rescheduled to thursday morning, but due to more bad weather, our other drivers did not get in until about 8 pm Thursday night.
If team 148 did not lend us their arm driver(s), we would not have been able to make fine adjustments to our claw and drivetrain to get them both working the way we needed them to.
Thanks a ton!!!!

A HUGE congratulations to our neighbors MOE on Chairman's and to our friends 375, the Robotic Plague, on their award as well. We were in Curie and got to watch 330 battle it out in eliminations and I haven't come across anyone yet that hasn't been absolutely blown away by how well-designed their robot is. It's the best integration of arm and ramps that I've seen yet, so congrats to them. Lastly, congratulations to everyone that had a good time at the games, whether they got picked for anything or won anything or not. We all worked for a long time on our robots and I think a lot of teams got to see theirs shine on the field, which has got to be the biggest reward of all. We've all got something to be extremely proud of.

I'd like to thank 116 for being a great group of friends, chatting and helping our team from across the aisle.

I'd like to thank the Skunkworks (I'm sorry I forget your team number) for providing us with some key supplies.

Thank you team 2194 for considering our robot for an alliance partner in the Newton finals.

Thank you team 229, as well as all other hacky sack players, for giving me something fun to do during lunch

Thank you all of our partners who played with us. We had a great time with you guys.

Thanks everyone!

And of course, thank you to the referees, judges, and FIRST crew for giving their time to putting on the championships. These are events that people remember forever, and the golden way in which they were run. Thanks FIRST!
