just by watching some of teh regionals and veiwing the results from others i would like to congradulate the rookie teams in the program for a spectacular showing, i think that between the new teams and all the old pro's this competition is really up in the air this year.

Good luck team 126 and rookie team 549 the Blue Devils

Thanx! Most people think that the rookies have it easy and have bashed the rookie attempts at playing the game. At least someone gives rookies props and has gracious professionalism.

I agree, a lot of the rookie teams have it pretty bad, no easy access to a machine shop, no real engineers or programmers, all on top of having no previous year's experience. We're lucky enough to be blessed by all that and have experience. The short of the matter is that the rookies who have a wooden box with wheelchair wheels deserve more respect than the national champions with with a two digit team number. . .

Hat's off to the rookies.
