2009 PARC XII! Pennsylvania Robot Challenge

[Wayne C.]

We had great fun at PARC yesterday. Thanks for 222 for running it and congratulations to the winning alliances.

At least we did prove one thing- 25 is faster to the ball than 2753 Nyeah! Nyeah!

To the teams that missed it- you missed lots of fun. See you next year.

Thanks, 222! 1640 loved PARC XII. We'd also like to thank 222 and 2753 for having us on a great champion alliance! A fun time was had by all. See you next year!

We did enjoy the center-field super cell rule. We certainly recommend it for other off-seasons.

P.S. How many states were represented at PARC this year? (We like to include that information in our media releases/announcements.) Thanks!

Ya, ya, I want a rematch with it in the center of the field!

Such fun, I would like to thank everyone that helped put this event on and 222 for being so gracious as alliance partners and hosts.

Thanks to 222 and crew for a great event.

Our oldies and newbies had a great time amd we really got the newbies hooked!

Hope we see you all next year!

I definitely liked the supercell in the middle. Watching teams ram into the center as fast as possible was great. One complaint though: I don't know how the center mark was drawn or who did it, but from the driver stations' point of view, it was definitely closer to the left of the field from the blue alliances' standpoint about half the time. I just think that a lot of the time, the ball wasn't in the center of the field, and was slightly unfair to the team that was further away.

Thanks to Teams 1218 and 145 for being such amazing partners. It was a pleasure working with you.

Congratulations to Teams 222, 2753, and 1640 for "schooling" us in the finals. You definitely deserved to win and it was great playing against you.

Deep appreciation to Scott Howell, Cliff Mock and the entire Tigertrons Crew for putting together another amazing PARC! We have not missed a single PARC since 2001 and you always put on a great show.

You are gracious hosts and fierce competitiors.

Thank you from the entire 341 crew!

I do believe that after the drivers meeting, the ruling was established and the mark was placed approximately in the center of the field. We apologize for the inconvenience for it was six inches off. Although not perfect, it made the matches that much more interesting. Thanks to all who made it out we hope to see you next year, bigger and better!

Thanks to 222 for being such a gracious host. You really came through when our robot was in need of repair.
