Seriously, Huge thank you to all the teams that made it out this year!! We hope you had a great time!! Sorry for a few of the food issues... we will work on it! (or maybe more people will want to preorder MOE's next year!!) From that... Awesome Job by MOE's - everyone loved their food at least! Great job to all the volunteers, this just gets easier and easier every year as we have more and more people that return that know what they are doing!! Giant Thanks to Paul Flemming of 2228 (HFL) who volunteered his own vehicle and set up the entire transport of the field!! so many long nights, but it was all worth it! Thanks to all the wonderful SparX members who helped us with every last minute detail we needed (especially Wendy, Bev & Bob!!), and a giant thanks to my crew at 1511 - they worked so hard to make it all happen that I doubt they realize its over either!!

Im forgetting people I know, but I really havent caught up on sleep since work has been insane since I got back

Thanks again for coming... and here's to another GREAT RUCKUS!!

BTW, if you want to check out some cool robots and my creepy green face, you can watch the RNEWs segment!

If a picture is worth a thousand words what is a video worth?

I believe that is Colin yelling to "SHUT IT DOWN"

The best part comes 5 seconds after that!! We need a longer video.

PS: If that was Colin, I've never heard him yell like that lol.
