Hi everyone!

Wow, RiverRage was great! It was worth the stuff I went through to get 30 team members up at 3AM to leave at 4:30 and arrive in Manchester by 9AM.
I'd like to thank a bunch of people, but I swear I'll be brief:

Team 95 - Thanks for picking us as your alliance. We couldn't have done it w/out you! All the chicks on my team agree that your robot's soooo cute!

Team 241 - Our other alliance; You guys are great, I was in the stands, but I heard good stuff about you from our drive team. Great job!

All the RCU Members - Even though we didn't get to have a picture taken, it was good to finally see all of you. Through RR we have acquired a decent list of new members! Thanks again!

Plus, thanks to Scratch for wearing our team's trademark 'floppy hat', as ugly as it is....

....and finally....
Team 131 - Thanks again, my dears. Kristen, everyone on my team agrees that you drove beautifully. Thank you so much for encouraging me to get up the hutspah to bring my team up.

Any team who wants a copy of the video coverage of RiverRage, send me an email (we've got great footage!)

To boot, there will be an article in tomorrow's local paper about RiverRage & team 237, as well as our allinces.

Our team is going to a Board of Education meeting tonite to announce our victory, and I would like to thank everyone again who made it happen, for this victory might be the thing that topples the Board of Ed over the edge and lets us build a room to build the robot in, 'cause we have nowhere to build for the '01 season.

Thanks again! I had a blast!
