That's OK Ed.
Your presence would be appreciated, but budgets are an issue to everybody.Nobody holds you at fault. We all feel the pinch.

Good luck to all the teams. I know 1523 is there and possibly 1889 thanks to the Holmquist family.

Yeah but the airlines making a mistake shouldn't be the ones pinching you.
They were already paid and I did not get to make the trip and I'm not going to get my money back.

Re: Tempest 'N Tampa 2008

I had a blast at TNT last year and am pretty disappointed that I couldn't make it up again this year...that darn ACT

I'm sure everyone is having a great time, it should be the peak of "Fun Time" about now...

Thank goodness there will be a webcast so I can hopefully catch a few matches in between the ACT and work

Re: Tempest 'N Tampa 2008

801 was the number one seed, though I'm not sure who won in the end.

I can say for a fact that 12 Volt Bolt had a great time and TNT this year and we look forward to coming back more in the future

Re: Tempest 'N Tampa 2008

Well, I just called one of the mentors from 1902, Sarah Plemmons, and she told me the winning alliance. She also sounded like there are some terrific stories to be shared.

But - this is what she said as far as the winning alliance. If I get this wrong, you guys can yell at me later.

Winning alliance:
233, 744, and 1999

They competed against:
801, 79, 2425

It went to 4 matches to determine the winner:
Red Alliance won, then Blue, then tie, then Blue Alliance won.

Sounds like a blast! Also, sounds like the rookie teams who participated had a great time.

want to add my thanks to all of the planners and volunteers that made the event so awesome! thanks to our alliance partners 744 and 1999. we were also really happy that 254 made the trip east. maybe you'll get your robot back this time :-) just wish the dome was a bit warmer during the night.

Talking Re: Tempest 'N Tampa 2008

Just a note about the tie, in case you didn't hear us squeeling about it, Michelle Celio, Barry Bohnsack, and I all called that there would be a tie for that match. hee hee.
But yes, it was fun! It's just too bad I might not make it next year! And Ed, we did miss you! But it's okay, it wasn't your fault!
I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did!
And good job to the annual winner, 744. lol So now, are you going to make for three years in row?!
However, I was wondering the whole ride home, still, why there was a blank award.... lol

Thats two years in a row that I've called the tie.

But the event held up to the high standards it made last year. The competition was great, the fun time was most definitely fun, and the energy of everyone- volunteers, students, mentors, etc- just made the event all the more awesome. I want to say thanks to 744 and 1999. 744 played some great matches, with and without their arm, and 1999 did their job perfectly playing some fantastic defense.

Great event, great teams, great people, great volunteers (not to mention extremely helpful and kind), I mean just everything was awesome. What more can you ask for?

How about quieter, or darker?
