I also have to send my congratulations to 1503, 1114 and 67. That was one powerful alliance and I am very happy to see two Canadian teams win the GLR. Well done!

On a bigger note, I am obligated to thank the judges who picked team 66 for the Chairman's award this year. I cannot express the feelings that I had before and after the announcement (tears were about ready to flow, no kidding) that we were picked. Nor can I thank you enough from the bottom of my heart. THANK YOU!!!

You guys were a really tough alliance, it was a lot of fun playing you guys, a very hard challange that we tried our very best to beat! Very worthy of winning the competition

Behalf of Team 1503 - Spartonics , Thanks for all your support!

Thank you fellow FIRST Teams..
We couldn't have done it without you!

Also, Thanks to our partners
Team 1114 - Simbotics
Team 67 - The H.O.T. Team

[KTorak]

Congrats to everyone who participated in the regional. GLR is probably one of, if not the toughest regionals to compete in and everyone did their best. Good Luck and see (hopefully) most of you in Atlanta

On a side note, does anybody know the songs played during Saturdays award ceremony? I have no idea what the names of some of them were...and I wanted to get them from the iTunes music store.

Congrats to 1503, 1114 and 67! Now, we all get to wait and see the newly bald Karthik. I have it on good authority that his students get to shave his head!

Perhaps this is just a ploy to help Karthik conveniently avoid having to face the genetically obvious:

If you do go through with this, buddy, please wear a hat at the GTR! I don't want our kids to freak out.

Go figure, I have the same bet in place with my team. But we never win regionals, so I think my hair is safe.

By the way, congrats to 1114 and 1503 at the GTR! Canada represent! Now can you defend your home turf at the GTR? As Honorary Canadians (TM), 48'd love to help you do that. Perhaps I shouldn't have posted that pic up above, then? Darn. Shooting myself in the foot again.......nah, it was worth it!

Congrats to 1503, 1114, and 67. You guys were a great alliance and it was a great battle.

Hopefully we'll see you in Atlanta for a rematch...

Again, congrats!

Yup. Before the season, I promised that I'd shave my head if both 1114 & 1503 won a regional... I'll have it done before Waterloo for sure, and maybe even before I go to Detroit this weekend.

As for the regional, what an amazing weekend. It seems like a lot of the teams were still in debug mode on Friday, but made big turn rounds on Saturday. Look out for 33 & 469 this season. With their turrets and camera aiming, look for them on Einstein in Atlanta. This robots have amazing potential.

The game play was very physical. We had robots coming at us from every direction in the finals. If it wasn't for HOT clearing us some space, things would have been very different. Robots who need lots of space and time to shoot are going to have difficulty on Saturday afternoon. The amount of defence (Canadian English ) raises exponentially during the eliminations.

Overall the Great Lakes Regional was a wonderful experience, and we look forward to defending our title next year.

Team 815 would like to thank Team 469 and 451 again for requesting our participation in their alliance for the Great Lakes Regional. You turned a very frustrating competition into our Cinderella Story. A story that we will be telling over and over again.

Thanks again for believing in us.

469 and 451's scoring ability was awesome
and 815's defensive capability rivaled 67's.
they put up a good fight against team Canada
good job
