A HUGE Thank-You to all the Volunteers again for another wonderful event and our hosting facility Webster Thomas HS! It was well attended and received. Going on the fourth year it just gets better. Aah Yes the finals was quite exciting once more.

Thanks to the Ruckus planning committee for all of their hard work, you put on an amazing event. All of your hard work is appreciated. Thanks to the many volunteers that help run the event. Thanks to the announcers & referees for your tireless effort in a very tiring job. A special Thank you to Rolling Thunder for all of your continued work in supporting this project. Lastly thank you to Sparx for hosting the event.

I too would like to give an extra special thanks to Jeremy & the guys from Sparx for helping to get the Jeep-Bot back on the field after we blew a radiator early in the day.

& thanks to our partners for both of our teams, congrats to the winners.

WHAT?? Its over?? Yikes?!?! what am I going to do with my Wednesday nights now?

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!
