Re: 2010 PEACHTREE REGIONAL

Hey there everyone. This is my first post on this forum. I am a mentor for team 3139, Oxford Omega. The Peachtree Regionals were awesome. They were more exciting than I had ever expected. The social on Friday night was very fun as well. One of our kids got me to race him 3 times through the bouncy obstacle course! I think I'm, getting too old to be doing those things.

Congratulations to 1466, 1771 and the 3rd team that won the finals (sorry, can't remember your number)!!!

To our alliance members (team 34, 1848 and fill ins 1311), thanks you all for putting your faith in a rookie team to join your alliance for the finals. I hate it for everyone that we had our issues. We had bought 2 new batteries for the regionals and we used one earlier in the day and were saving the last one up for the last match. Unfortunately, when we wired the positive and negative wires to the batteries, we crossed them and it caused us to fry all of our Jaguars when we turned the breaker on! Rookie mistake!! I guess you learn from your mistakes...

I am planning on making it to the finals at the Dome next month and hope to see some of you there.

Again, I had an awesome time and can't wait for next year. Thanks again to everyone who helped us along the way and who we met up with over the weekend; it was all well worth it!

Zach

Don't feel bad. I know of a veteran team that had to buy new radios on consecutive days because the team members forgot and wired the power cable to the 30 amp breaker. Twice.

One has already been made into a trophy.

Re: 2010 PEACHTREE REGIONAL

To Ed Sparks and ALL team members of #34 the Rockets

What a thrill it was to go head to head defense against such a quick and magnificent machine!! As stated in previous posts, even at the buzzer the scores were up in the air. You've got an excellent team and I can tell that your mentors are extraordinary; (congratulations on the Regional Woodie Flowers award). Thanks for the great competition. Thanks to our alliance partners team 1466 Webb Robotics and 1771 N Gwinnett HS.

ONE did you notice moment at Peachtree; the winning alliance of 1466, 1771 and 1683 did pull off a fairly unique trick during the autonomous game in one of the matches in the semis- I believe. Each robot scores one goal in autonomous; 1771 kicks, rolls out of the way; 1683 kicks far court; then 1466 rolls the third one in. Great coordination red alliance.

Thank you! We had a blast. I've never seen a finals quite like that before. You guys were tough and very deserving of #1 (We'll get 'ya next year ).

I had a very memorable weekend. Finalist, WFFA, Motorola Quality Award, and best of all, I became a grandfather the same weekend. Happy birthday Elaina Mckenzie Johnson !

Re: 2010 PEACHTREE REGIONAL

Could someone help me out with the team number for the second Dean's List winner? I know Tanner is from 1261, I don't know what team Kyle is from.
