2009 Finger Lakes Regional!!!!

[Tetraman]

It's usually said that FLR is incredible. This year was EXPLOSIVE!

I want to thank all of those team members who thanked all of us volunteers. Many of you shown us some FIRST love and we all thank you for it. Plus thanks for everyone for keeping calm and cool during the field problems.

I want to give my congrats to 340, 1511 and 316 for the truly hard-fought fight they put up. You deserve the champs just as equally as any other.

Congrats to 1507 for their amazing robot, 188 for ther determination and 174 for their second FLR win in a row!

A special congrats to 340 for their second Regional Chairmans award. I hope this year you can take it to Atlanta and bring it home to rochester for all of us other FLR teams!

High Fives all around for 2791 and their Rookie Allstar award. The moment you walked in I knew there was something big for you at the end of this weekend.

I have to say that it was an honor to sit next to the one and only Karthik and watch him pull off his MC magic. One day I want to be an MC and have the energy he can put into it all.

Congrats to all the teams and students for their own personal victories and good luck in your other regionals. I'll see you all next year.
