Thank you to 447, 1018, 393 and 1020

A Big hearty THANK YOU goes out to all our buddies from Team Roboto, 447 from Anderson, Indiana for picking us for the elims rounds! Also a big THANK YOU goes out to 1018 as our 3rd buddy in the elims round. Its too bad that the CIA didn't make it farther, but maybe at Midwest we can try this again!


Many Kudos to Teams 1020 and 393 for sharing their batteries with our alliance for the elims round! Hopefully at the next competition you attend, you will end up in the elims round!


Special Kudos to team 1020. These guys probably put the most work into their bot the entire regional. After 7 drivetrain fixes/modifications they worked. I never gave up hope for you guys from the start! Way to go!

Congratulations to the regional winners, runners up, special award winners and Chairman Award winner!

No...Thank YOU for giving us the opportunity to be in the finals!

I can't wait to see what you (45) and 16 will be able to do at Midwest...

BTW: Team 16's bot is the cleanest, fastest, and neatest bot I've ever seen...Including some of NASA's!!!

You've not seen the last of the CIA!!!

D. J.,

Thanks for your confidence in the Monkeys!

You guys rocked, and I'm sure you'll do even better in Chicago. Just to clarify, we won't be in Chicago (Amanda and some others are planning on being in the crowd though!).

It was a really great experience being there. Everyone on our team really enjoyed it and I think the rookies on the team really got the idea and will be even more motivated next year.
