so, is there any room left for a poor old team trying to double up a keeper?

[GaryVoshol]

It was announced at Kettering that there are still 5 places left.

C'mon. I want to see that double keeper!

[johnr]

i noticed there are 23 teams listed on the ford first site.how would you run the team selections if this number holds? this is our last chance to double up . hope we get it. oh, we might have another trick up our sleeve. guess you have to be there.

[Grant Cox]

Last official number I heard was 24, I'm not sure where the one on the site came from. We'll see how it turns out.

Can't wait to see what 910's got in store for us

[GaryVoshol]

23 plus a placebo, as of last night.

[Beth Sweet]

Sooooo do we have results?

[Chief Pride]

it was a great compitition, we turned out coming in 7th seed and moving on to second place, thanks so much to our allies, and the great match by 910's team... the double autonomous was great!

[Andrew Bates]

Team 448 thanks Everyone who ran the event for running such a great event.

[johnr]

wow, where to start. i want to thank arc for a great event. the young ladies on the field did a great job. thanks to team 1625.couldn't have done it without you.the only thing that could have made it better is if you pulled off the backside keeper. please thank your scout/rep again for me. he made the right choice. 313, not bad for a first time driver. you done good. special thanks to the team that helped us get our bot fixed before semi's. don't know who, maybe someone can help me out with that one.
i would like to say sorry if our celebrating seemed over the top to anyone,but you couldn't have written a better scrip. a season ending event. possible the last match. our last chance for a double keeper.
thanks again to everyone. see you at kickoff.

[Josh Murphy]

The ARC was a great event again this year. The competition was great. Thanks to 68 and 70 for being our partners it was great working with you guys. 910, 1625, and 313 congrats to you guys on the win you guys were going to be tough to beat before the double ringer!!!

[Aren_Hill]

i would also like to compliment all the volunteers and refs for running what i believe was a complaint free event. And 910 wow just wow. i have to admit it was rather scary facing off against three juggernauts of FIRST (47,68,70).

[Herodotus]

Thank you to all the volunteers who made this competition a success. It is out last event of the off-season, and what an event it was. Thank you to 1625 and 313, you guys made absolutely awesome partners and we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you to 47, 68, and 70 for some great matches. It was a blast driving against you guys and you were some tough opponents.

I couldn't have wished for a better last event for the year, and now I can't wait for the next season.

[Chief Samwize]

Great Competition guys.

I would like to thank teams 910, 1625, and 313 for the great matches and congrats to team 910 for their double keeper score, I could not think of a cooler way to be defeated then that. Great programming.

I also would like to thank teams 70 and 68 for their partnership with us in the elimination rounds. You guys were great partners and we had a great stretch.

Finally thanks to all the teams who participated in this event, thanks for the great matches.

-Sam
