2008 Pittsburgh Regional

[nikeairmancurry]

Well one day after the Pittsburgh Regional, the members of Team 326 would like to thank everyone one who worked at the Arena. Also we would like to give congrats to the Winning Alliance.

We fought you guys really hard and we hope their aren't any hard feeling 357 for the couple of times we knock you guys up on your back. Heat of battle and for our alliance (1308 1249 and of course 326) being all of our first time in the semi-finals we really wanted to take it home, but i thinksits good to know that we lost to the best. But, maybe we could try this again next year maybe?

On another note, good job to all of the rookie teams and keep it up. 2618 we would like to say congrants to you on being ranknig 16th, after bulding your robot on thrusday. Also to all of those gonig to Great Lakes Regional, you should watch out 326 is coming back with a new surpise for everyone (besides a fast robot).

We will see your there my friend, perhaps even, with a launcher? What, What! SPOILER ALERT!!!

Danny, the reason they did that is because from their stats it was hard to tell three such good teams apart.

I know thats the reason. I just thought it was kinda funny. It gave me something to chuckle about.

Thanks to team 522 for picking us and 120 for being great alliance partners. Also congrats to teams 337, 357, and 2614 for eliminating us and then going on to winning the regional.

Thanks to all the teams we asked for various little odds and ends, a few coming to mind are 48, 291, 337 and 522!

Thanks to the crew that made this regional run smoothly!

On a personal note thanks to the fellow mentors and students of 222 who made this all come together. This was one of our most successful years in the shop. Our students have advanced so much that about 95% of the machining was done by them! The other 5% was stuff the students asked us mentors to help/do.

The Pittsburgh Regional was incredible--thanks to all of the volunteers and staff for making this a great event!

To our friends of 291: Congratulations on your success, both as finalists and as Regional Chairman's Award winner. Sorry we won't see you at Buckeye this week to reform our winning alliance. See you in Atlanta!

Congratulations to the other finalists (375 & 2544), as well as the Regional winners (337, 357, & 2614)--all of you were amazing compeditors!

There were many excellent rookie teams at Pittsburgh--welcome to FIRST, and we hope to see you all next year!

To our friends from 379: we both had success and a lot of fun despite our records--things can only get better at Buckeye. See you there!

Finally, I have to congratulate our kids from team 48 on their hard work and dedication during a long weekend of competition. Your work on making safety and GP an integral component of who we are as a team has been outstanding--keep it up and don't stop!!

Congrats to our friends 337 and their team of 357 and 2614. Enjoyed playing with each of you during the competition. Nice to see 2 WV teams win in Pittsburgh. Thanks to 326 for picking us to be with your team. We enjoyed it and with a little luck, might have been in the finals. Again, congrats to our mentors, 337, thanks for all your help the past five years. 1249 will see everyone in Palmetto. Look for changes to the roborat.

[Mr. D]

Thanks to Teams 128 and 2641 for providing us the help we needed to compete in the Quarter finals. Sorry it did not turn out better, we all wanted to go to Atlanta. We will be back much better prepared next year.

We enjoyed working with all of the Teams and seeing our friends, please come back next year.
