I'm wondering the same thing. I think alliance selection would have already happened. Anyone know the alliances?

Congrats to teams 20, 2053, 191 and 174. Winners of FLR. After the Finals match 1, 174 was brought in to replace 191, and 174 thanks the red aliance for letting them share your victory. Congrats again to those teams.

But an even bigger congrats to the finalists 1126, 378 and 1551 for their incredible matches. It was really close and I thought you had it made.

1511 took the EI award.

340 deservingly takes home the Chairmans award.

Congrats to the winners and of course 1511 and 340.

This year was my first year, and a lot of fun! Thank you to everyone who made this a great experience. And congrats to the winning teams!

Major congrats to all the teams who competed this weekend and also major congrats to 1511 for Engineering Inspiration and 340 for winning the Chairman's Award. It was another amazing year. I do have to say I feel really weird with this being my last event as a student, but I know mentoring will bring on a whole new world.

[Josh Goodman]

Great competition everyone! Wasn't our best regional robot wise but we are very happy to receive the Engineering Inspiration award!

Thanks to 65 and 1450, our alliance partners. You guys rocked!

Thanks again to all on the alliance 20, 2053- we had an awesome team that swept through the finals and made quite exciting matches. 174- you guys really pulled through for our alliance team by pinch hitting for us...You rocked!

I'm still curious to find out how our arm broke in the last 30 seconds. If anyone had a clear video of the match I would love to check it out. All I heard was a loud snap.

I second 1511 and 340 are well deserved for their awards. They are two teams that by far epitomize community service, congratulations to both.

congrats to the winners. When the alliance selection happened, me and a friend said that it would be u guys in the finals with 1126's alliance.
Im a little worried about how Ref oriented this game is, In a couple matches i seen the flags go up around 12 times and only show 2 penalties, and then there were matches where they didnt go up at all and there were 5-6.
Did anyone find out what the penalty was that won them the match?

FLR, what a competition! Please accept our apologies for leaving before the finals and award ceremony. We were fighting the weather and the health of many of the team members.

Lansdale Catholic Cyber-Crusaders team 272 would like to thank all the organizers, volunteers and teams involved in the 2008 Finger Lakes Regional. Team 365 mentioned it was a great regional so we took a chance going north in winter.

On the minus side we..
* had snow.
** sick students and mentors dropping left and right
*** broken parts, wires, IR devices,

We were dancing with Murphy all morning on Friday.


On the plus side we...
met many warm, passionate and humorous people.
witnessed and were part of some of the most competitive rounds we have ever seen this early in the season.
were part of a great alliance with 67 and 420 in the quarters and semis. Thanks to team 67 for giving us a shot.

We especially want to thank the judges for picking our design for the Xerox Creativity in Design Award. Additional thanks to teams for their team awards.

Congratulations to the winning alliance and all the award winners. Good luck for the rest of the season. You are all what makes FIRST great. Thanks for letting us share in it.
