In reading these posts I know that there is some negative sentament about how things did not go as smoothly as they could have but as Dean said, this is a "Development Program" and mimicks what goes on in the real world. Just think how bad some of my co-workers felt after they heard that the Orbiting Carbon Observatory that they worked so hard on fell into the ocean near Antartica last week!!!

First off, I'd like to congratulate Buzz, 121, and 2621 for their regional win.

Before our QF matches I believed that with our propellers we could pin anyone. Now I believe that we can still pin anyone ... but 121 won't be pinned for long, their machine and driver are incredible.

The machine from Buzz was outstanding and dominating, as usual. By the way, where did you guys find Larry Bird? That guy was hitting 20' jumpers everytime.

Also 2621 ... what a great robot and what a great addition to this championship alliance. Somebodies scouting was very good
