At the beginning of build season I thought about doing something like this, and then came up with a hundred reasons why we couldn't/shouldn't do it.

You have proven me wrong.

This was one of my ideas too. I am thoroughly excited to see this on the field.

Dang it, I knew we should've gone to San Diego.

A small group of members from Team 399 will be there on Saturday to cheer teams on and scout

...wow... What. A. Regional.

While the field was shallow, the regional saw some of the best (strategical) matches I've seen so far. I have a couple of thanks to give out.

1) Miss Daisy
You guys are awesome. It great getting to play with and against you guys. Dinner Friday night was great. I'm glad both our teams got together so well. In the finals, you guys kept out hopes alive by calling a much needed time out for our alliance partner (1388). While you guys weren't the most dominate team at the regional, you guys certainly proved that NO ONE is invincible and that a good strategy can carry you very far in this game.

2) 1388 - Eagle Robotics
Once again, it was a great pleasure to team up with you guys again. We certainly made a strong push, too bad we couldn't make it last a little longer.

3) Andy - Team 968
I told you this after the regional, but we would not have been finalists without your help on Friday. Your suggestions and work with our team made all the difference and was a perfect example of what makes FIRST so special.

Of course Jon would tell y'all himself because he is too humble, but congrats to him for being the Regional Woodie Flowers Award recipient, and to the Holy Cows (1538) for winning the RCA.

And then there was Miss Daisy (341) who helped the rookie team from Brazil (3032) build a robot on Thursday because theirs was stuck in customs. They were on the field competing by Friday. GP in action!

And 968, wow, what an offensive power house. Very impressive play.... until Goliath met David in team 2543 whose defensive strategy in the Elimination rounds had the entire arena on their feet and cheering.

And then the six rookie teams; 2827, 2839, 2984, 3021, 3032, and 3041. Watch out for these up and coming teams, especially 2839, winner of Highest Rookie Seed and Rookie All Star!

The San Diego Regional is the best and it is because of the great volunteers, the awesome teams, mentors, and parents, and especially because TeamSanDiego rocks!

[Ozeaden]

wow, san diego was so fun. it was a great regional to be at. i want to thank our alliance partners teams 1538 and 1348 for a great finals rounds and i expecialy want to thank miss daisy so much for sacrificing their time card for us to try and fix our gyro. what happened was the match before, our shaft that connected our gyro to our window motor broke and unfortunatly, we didnt have a spare. we did our best to try and fix it, but we had no luck. i want to thank you guys again for your help and all of the teams. 1538, have fun at atlanta and same to miss daisy and their alliance. hopefully, 1388 will either win or get something at the LA regional that will get us to atlanta so that we can see eachother at atlanta

San Diego was definetely a fun and exciting regional. The upset of Ms.Daisy over Rawc was amzaing! Would have been even more exciting if my alliance were able to upset 1388 and 1538's alliance Two dead alliance partners in the 3rd match(812 & 2485) ruined the momentum lol. Congrats to all the teams who made it to the finals! We will be in Vegas with a faster and better robot!
