2008 Philadelphia Regional!

[1t5h1e1o]

I have to say that Philly greatly exceeded any of my expectations. Everyone there was so spirited and practically bleeding GP. A special thanks to 467 Duct Tape Bandits again for their ongoing friendship and spirit with our team. When I was down on the field as a driver during quarterfinals, half of the people in the stands on the opposite side from your team and ours were cheering for their alliance, and the other half were chanting "Random-izer" By far the most random and yet awesome display of energy. To our partners 316, 484, and then 1640, those were awesome matches. If only those ending ball placements in the first match had counted. (they never called it before that you couldn't be touching them, only not supporting them! oh well.) Special thanks to 484 who wanted the best for the alliance even if it meant stepping down. It's a shame you had those problems with your drive because you have an amazing robot!! Best of luck to you in the future, you guys were awesome to work with!! Thanks to 1640 for being ready and willing to fill in, that was a great win in match 2! Congratulations to 84, 365, and 341 on the win, that was an amazing final!!! Congrats on the Chairmans as well!! Being my FIRST year and second regional as a driver, if this gets any more exciting and fun than it was at Philly, I don't know how I can describe it!!! Overall, this was an amazing regional, even if it left me really sick and without a voice!
