Re: 2008 Los Angeles Regional

Congratulations to the repeat LA Regional Chairman's Award winner, Team 399. You totally energized the event, especially with your video. It was awesome at field level just in front of your very enthusiastic section.

330 and 1717 gave an impressive display of effective Trackball handling and maneuverability throughout the LA regional. 330's selection of 1717 pretty much "sealed the deal" for the regional win. 980's goal was to clear some track for them (which often meant trying to keep out of their way).

There was a great mix of teams at the LA Regional including some outstanding rookie teams. The schools for Rookie All-Star (2429, La Canada HS) and Rookie Inspiration (2404, John Muir HS) award winners are located about a mile of one another. I'm so proud of Team 2404 "TNT" for their perseverance throughout the season. There are even better things ahead for their program and their school.

Thanks to the volunteers and RD who stepped up to make the LA Regional a truly great event.

Saturday was quite an intense day for Curtis Montano, the Head Ref. Never have I seen so many matches challenged. It was ridiculous, the challenge box must have been filled for 70 minutes straight. It would make everyone's life easier if teams really made an effort to play clean matches. If there were penalties, they were accidents on their driver's fault. People give the refs a hard time when they do not realize how hard their job is. At competitions, they easily have the hardest job, and the group at LA was definitely one of the finest group of referees I have come across.

Yeah, 399, we're so stoked you guys are going to Atlanta.

I would have been highly disappointed if anyone else won the Chairman's Award! Honestly, I'm more excited about that than actually winning the Regional. Give a shout out to the rest of your team for me, you guys deserve that win.

I dunno about the "if anyone else won" statement, some of our members were really worried after looking at the stuff other teams had done!
MorTorq, Robodox, the Holy Cows, and others really had a lot of stuff to their name.

But thanks for the compliment! I'll be sure to pass it on. It's really great to hear that from you guys, and as AdamHeard said somewhere, you guys are going to be BIG.

Re: 2008 Los Angeles Regional

Sorry, I didn't mean to make it sound like that. Many teams were deserving of the Chairman's award. MorTorq, Robodox, Holy Cows, and others were very energetic and amazing.

It's just that I knew you guys more on a Personal level.

Re: 2008 Los Angeles Regional

I want to extend a quick congratulations to team 294 for making the finals again! It's been great to see you guys doing so well in recent years.

1717 is becoming a true FIRST powerhouse. While I haven't had the fortune to see them this year, I have no doubt that they will be a force to reckon with in Atlanta.

Meanwhile, 294 and 330 have met in the finals for 3 straight regionals. Seems like a fun rivalry is developing out on the beach.

Congratulations to all winners, and good luck in Atlanta.

Re: 2008 Los Angeles Regional

An impressive display of hurdling was put on by both 330 and 1717. 980 played great defense clearing the way for 330 and 1717. The double hurdling is simply amazing. Put 968 in the mix and Socal will be well represented in Atlanta. If you want to model yourself after consistent teams who hit the mark each year, follow 330, 968, and 1717. If you do that, you will be in the mix every year.

We have come along way and are still learning: you must control the game piece!

Congratulations to the LA Regional Champions

Re: 2008 Los Angeles Regional

The LA Regional is the in my opinion one of the toughest and most exciting Regionals in the Southwest. The teams that attend for the most part are consistently bringing with them great machines that do their job, and do it well.

Congrats to 330, 1717, and 980 for an Impressive display this year. Best of luck in Atlanta.

Re: 2008 Los Angeles Regional

Congrats and thank you to our alliance partners in Los Angeles: Teams 330 and 980. We look forward to competing with you in Atlanta! Great job to all of the rest of the teams as well, including the finalists: Teams 294, 702, and 2659.

Thanks also to teams 399 and 1515 in particular, for cheering for us and with us -- we really appreciated your support and enthusiasm.

Another congrats to the Chairman's, Engineering Inspiration, and Rookie Inspiration and All-Star winners!

We enjoyed competing and meeting all of the other teams. For those competing at further regionals and the championships, best of luck, and to those for whom LA was their last 2008 event, our team looks forward to working with you next year! Although I am a graduating senior, I will do my best to be back at the regional events in '09!
