Go to Post Oh great, look what you just did. The GDC will probably find ways to use this to torture teams in 2011. I hope you're happy now. - synth3tk [more]

2006 GLR Thanks & Congratulations

I'm still regrouping from the weekend, so excuse me for the lack of coherence. In some disjointed order...

Team 68 -- You were the one team that we were constantly afraid of. That semifinal match up was incredibly intense. You guys played some of the best defense that I've ever seen. I can't wait to see you again in Waterloo.

Team 469 -- You guys will be rockstars at the championship. For those who weren't at the event, this team was being pushing horizontally across the field, but their camera aimed turret kept adapting, and they hit four shots on the move. You gave us a great run.

To every team that offered us assistance with our treads. It's great to see that FIRST teams are always willing to help each other out, even in the heat of competition. As for the actual problem with the treads, we think we have it figured out, and should be fine for Waterloo.

To all the volunteers and staff of the event. Thanks for keeping the event up and running, in spite of a horrible scoring system. The fact that you kept on schedule, even with all the ridiculous problems was a testament to your abilities.

Team 67 -- Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd get an alliance of 1503, 1114 and you. This was the strongest alliance I've ever been a part of. I still can't believe that you were available to us. I guess teams forgot that success breads success. In the finals you played amazing defense, and cleared all the space we needed. It was a virtuoso performance. I hope we can work together again sometime.

This was an amazing weekend for the NiagaraFIRST triplets, thanks to all that cheered us on and supported us. See you in Waterloo, Toronto or Atlanta.
