We never dreamed it also... Thanks so much for selecting us and getting past our record of 2-7 in qualification. It was a great run, and can't wait to see you at championships. And 832, yall were amazing also. Thanks!

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional

Thanks to all the volunteers, mentors, students, parents and sponsors that made Peachtree a success. I look forward to seeing you all again next year..or sooner.

As Rick mentioned we will be having an offseason event this year so stay tuned. The GeorgiaFIRST website is www.gafirst.org (correction to post above).

Get some sleep and I hope to stop by the event in SC to see some of you in action again.

Whoever did the webcast, are you able to post the competition videos online? That would be amazing, and thanks for webcasting. Much appreciated.

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional

On behalf of the Peachtree inspection team, I just want to thank everyone for your efforts in making the inspection process run smooth. We had a couple "late bloomers" but all in all things went well. Team 34 travels to the "Lone Star" Regional next and then I'll be returning to Georgia for the Championship as a lead inspector. I hope to see all of you there!

Congrats to all the award winners (especially team #1311).

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional

Just wanna say thanks to all the volunteers and people who helped put this year's Peachtree Regional together. I personally had the best time I've had at a regional and this is my 5th year.

Congratulations Teams 2655, 2415, and 832 for winning. Also to Team 1311 for the Chairman's award.

Hope to be there again next year!

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional

I would ALSO like to say thankx to all. And I mean ALL.

There were a couple calls we wish could have gone our way, but none the less we still had fun, and for our freshmen, and some of our veterans, this was the most fun they've had.

Thankx to 57, and 1311 for agreeing to be with us. .

We would also like to thank 1771 and 1746 for their great support this year, and I honestly believe your alliance was the best one out there.

I (and others) from team 2415 said this same thing both before and after the playoff rounds yesterday. Team 1771's robot is incredibly well built, and funnily enough we ended up having very similar robots for two years in a row (last year we were the two teams to utilize suction and this year we both have spirals with turreting shooters). I fully expect to see them dominate at championships if they come. Still shocked that we won, and excited for championships!

We would also like to thank 1746 and 1771, without which we would not have fixed our autonomous program, as well congratulate the #7 seed alliance 1319, 590, and 342(I hope those were right) who pulled some great upsets as well.

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional

Thank you for all the kind words. I am extremely proud of the robot that we built this year and I hope that we get a chance to attend the Championship and play with everyone. Good job 2415, 832, and 2655

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional

Team 2415, the Westminster WiredCats, would like to thank the following teams for helping make Peachtree Regional '09 so much fun!

Many many thanks to 2655 and to 832 for some awesome matches and major upsets! Thanks again for selecting us for the alliance, and we'll be looking for you at Championships in April!

Thanks to 342, for giving us some PWM cables when we desperately needed them.

Thanks to 442, for helping us so much with our coding problems.

More thanks to 832, for lending us a victor.

Thanks to 1002, for being pretty much the first team we asked whenever we needed things, since you were right next to us.

Thanks to 1261, for helping us find the nearest Kinko, and for lending us a battery, even though everything was already packed.

Thanks to 1311, for starting us last year and mentoring us still. Your guidance in 842's project was so helpful. By the way, we still have your 2x4's. Sorry.

Great thanks to 1414, for cheering us on and pumping up all of our team so that we've all more or less lost our voices

Thanks to the coach of 1415, for understanding and diverting potentially awkward situations between our teams.

Thanks to 1533, for lending us 2 batteries. Without those two, we would not have been able to compete in the finals at all.

Thanks to 1746, for lending us yet another battery.

Thanks to 1771, 547, 1746, 2119, 587, 1102, 1319, 590, and 342, for an amazing end to Peachtree.

Thanks to 2420, for letting us charge some of our batteries in your pit and eventually giving us the charger.

Congrats to 900, 1771, 343, 1746, 1533, 34, 342, 1319, 1398, 1848, 2967, 3091, 2918, 1002, and 1311 for their awards!

Most importantly, thanks to all the judges, referees, and volunteers who make these events possible. Thanks again to all the amazing teams we've met over the past few days, and we look forward to seeing you next year!

All the best,
the Westminster WiredCats

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional

Yup thanks to team 2655 for picking us after we were ranked 43 out of 46. It was very interesting because we finally got our robot completely working for the last qualification match but we got DQed haha...

And to 832, since I was a freshman in high school on 1002, I think we might have been alliance like 6 total times including qualification matches and we have never won a match together. This year we won 6 matches together.

First thing I thought when we got picked was crap, we have to play otto and north gwinnett. 1771, you guys might have one of the best robots in the country for this game this year and some of the best drivers.

Thanks to all the teams that helped us with spare parts: team Soup-1848, Tech High and The Robojackets - 2420, The CircuitRunners - 1002, Team 547, The Robo Lions - 1261, and the others I am forgetting

Thanks to 1533 for helping us out with our battery issues because there was no way we could have made it through the playoffs without yalls battery charger and batteries to borrow.
Thanks to team 1414 for helping us out cheering as well as all the other teams including 1002, 1848, and others.

Congrats to Mr. Folea for winning Volunteer of the year.
Congrats to triple strange for winning the Judges award
Congrats to wheeler for winning EI

Congrats to Mr. Barker and team 1311 Kell Robotics for winning chairmans and thanks for all your help throughout the past couple of years with helping us get off of teh ground. You guys really deserved it
And thanks to all the volunteers and judges and refs for helping put on a great regional.

And congrats to all my KIDDIES for not giving up even when we went 2-7. They did a great job of persevering and they just kept trying to make the robot better even when we thought we had no chance of the playoffs.

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional

I think the one of the most amazing human player shots I saw was that from 590 in the last 2 seconds of the finals! Dumb luck or dumb skill, that cross field shot was awsome .

Congratulations Teams 2655, 2415, and 832, you where great opponets and earned the win.

Thanks to 1319 and 590 for joining us in a great alliance. Can't wait to team up with 1319 in again in Palmetto, and hopefully 343 can join the burnning flash . I really enjoyed the semi's against yall. I would also like to send kodos to 1002 who played a brutal defense. We thought we were bullet proof until we meet 1002's auton and lost a wheel .
