The toy drive is certainly a go.

im sorry but i have to pick obn this page http://www.team-emoticons.com/registration.asp demolition squad is spelled "Squade" and it says We Are from palm beach gardens. Tho some of our team lives in gardens, Both are schools are in riveria beach. And also the teams seem to be in no order Whatsoever. and on top of that its not in cells so you cant coppy paste it into excell and rearange it without actually entering everything yourself. Just saying, no big deal i guess.

They are in the order that they sign up in. Sorry about the type-o' as for where the teams are from I think we put whatever address we could find for your team. Its done all aoutmatically using software that we have, sorry about not being bale to copy/paste so on and so on. We had a nice system set up but then in the end we couldn’t use it with the hurricanes crashing our servers.

[Barry Bonzack]

We are in! Thanks to Dan Welsh and Nathan Pell for making sure my team has this opportunity, and a very special thanks to the entire team of the 1402 Patriots for letting us barrow a robot. I can't wait.

and now here i am logged in right after tyty! when he is repeating everything i am typing in here. The 2004 Robot Rodeo was awesome. All the teams had fun. the BEST part was the spirit of all the teams. Congratulation to team 179 and 1402 for winning the rodeo and team 233 and team 945 for being the finalist. another thing i have seen during this event, Every single person was always up to work or help each other with anything. example, everyone helped to take down the field. Thanks to Nathan Pell, Mike Walker, Andrew Rudolph, George Wallace, Peter smeryge (710), Dan Richardson, Ryan Albright, and the crew of 1083 for putting up a great event. even though we were there till 3 o'clock in the morning on saturday working on the field, the work did pay off. Now i can say that the 3 hours of drive was worth it. Also Thanks to Billfred for driving down for 7 hours from South Carolina and join us at the event. The robot rodeo is getting better and better every year. Florida teams showed off their spirit and their gracious professionalism the best way. Thanks for letting me to be a part of the crew and experience great Teamwork. now i am falling asleep too... lata.

[Stephen Kowski]

[Barry Bonzack]

I just got home, and find that I have no voice. I had a very good time and want to send thanks again to Nathan Pell, Dan Welsh, and the entire Freedom team to making sure this all got to happen for my team.

Congrats to my mentoring team, 1402, and to my many friends on 179. Thanks for the swamp shirt so I could cheer for both teams in the alliance even harder!

I am now uploading over 550 pictures to my computer, and I'll be spending a chunk of my day tomorrow sorting through them. I love my camera

recap... Yay! Good time! Thanks! Congrats! Pics!

The Rodeo was Awesome!! The new rookies on our team were given an opportunity to try out driving and operating SAM, and they got a little taste of what FIRST is about. I got to try driving too, and now I know I'll stick to being photographer, driving isn't for me! Congratulations to 179 and 1402 for winning this year's rodeo! Maybe the Children of the Swamp (also winners of the team spirit award) can help bring out the spirit in our new team members before the Florida Regional.

My Homecoming SPAM capes must be lucky, for Tytus and Amanda were wearing them when they won! My thanks goes to Barry for taking awesome pictures of all the teams, and sharing his spirit for both SPAM and Swamp Thing during the final rounds. The Florida Chapter of the RCU met for the first official meeting, and I think that with all the FIRST girls in the state, we can pull off something great in the next year. I can't wait to see everyone again!!! Thank you to 1083 and 1068 for hosting such a great event!
