2008 Finger Lakes Regional

[pafwl]

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.
