RESULTS - Duel on the Delaware 2006

[Cuog]

It was great, we had a very high scoring final match, 105 - 59 was very high for both alliances involved. I also ran into some members of 25 and Bilfred once or twice as well

Thanks for an amazing time guys. It was my first off season event ever, and boy did I pick a good one.......thanks to MOE and Lunatecs for putting on the event......for Rai and Sam and Ilana for "adopting" me, and to all the teams for participating. Congrats to the winning alliance, and to the finalist alliance, and to all the other alliances too.......you all were great.

Thanks to Wayne and Bill for being a great MC/announcer pair, and to Carol for being head referee.

Thanks to Mike for getting the field set up, and working, and thanks to all the referees for doing a great job.

I had a great time, and am looking forward to next year and this season even more!

Thank you for everyone who came to the Duel! I spent a lot of time with the Vex teams so extra thanks to them! You guys were a lot of fun!

And to all my teammates, the LuNaTeCs, parents, friends, FIRST representatives, Miss Delaware, and everyone else who was there being a volunteer, you were AMAZING, thank you so much for your hard work! A special thanks to Mr. Enslen, it is his mile long spread sheets that ensure everything gets done.

I came back into the FRC competition in time to watch the final two matches (and somehow ended up announcing the last one...thanks Bill!) It was totally awesome watching the 25, 365, 423, and 1980 win. This is the first time MOE has ever won their own event! I know we were all pretty excited about that. Thank you 25, 523, and 1980 for helping us do that!

SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!

Team 222 had a great time at the Duel. Thanks to all the hard work by 365 and 316 to pull this event off. Thanks to all the competing teams for helping break in some of our new students. Can't wait to see everyone at Brunswick Eruption and Ramp Riot.

Is there going to be any pictures of the event?

I'm sure there will be as I'm looking forward to seeing them too, but won't seeing them just make you regret missing the event more? j/k completing homework assignments is reasonable. Too bad though, we were hoping that you would take a few spins at the mic as our guest MC.

PIC REQUESTS
-For all of you award winners, can you take a picture of the trophies? The Duel trophies are a work of art.
-A picture of the dumbfounded and mortified looks on the faces of our birthday girls Tina from 25, who turned 16 and Katie from 1089, who turned 17 at the Duel, standing in the middle of the field as the crowd sang them a happy birthday.

I echo what everyone has said MOE and the Lunatecs put on a great event. I had high expectations going into the Duel, but the event far exceeded all of them. It was evident that the organizers spent a lot of time and attention. The sheer TONNAGE of books collected in the book drive blew my mind, the great guest speakers (Miss Deleware being a Dupont Engineer was really cool), the banners as well as the spray painted team numbers on the carpet squares at each pit (I really thought this was a nice touch), the Vex Scrimmage, the Talon Bot and 357 Mechanum WheelChair Demonstrations, the abundance of volunteers, and the overwhelming spirit and sportsmanship demonstrated by all of the teams made for one heck of an offseason competition. Congratulations to all of the teams, but especially to the Champs and the Finalists for the GP they exhibited with the inclusion of a pre-rookie team into the finals. I believe the two posts from 1980 earlier say how much they got out of it. You gave them a great introduction and welcome to the world of FIRST.

To all of the Duel planning committee I thank you for having me come down. It was an honor to work alongside so many great volunteers and a pleasure to meet and talk to so many attending the Duel. Thanks to the team de Special thanks to Joe and Carol Perotto for picking me up and hosting me for a night, as well as Pete K for the ride back to the airport in his S4! I had a lot of fun at the Duel. This is a great event and I would highly recommend it to other teams considering an off-season in the future.

Any time for you, Wayne. Maybe next time we won't have a caravan or Paul in the car and I can open it up!

I think I have too many pictures of our bot in action, but I'm sure there are a few non-Dawgma related pics in the over 600 that I have...


I had way too much time to take pictures.

I actually brought two cameras with us, each with a 1 GB card in them. They each could take about 270 pictures, and I maxed out both cards...

Actually, I included the pictures from the day before when we demoed a few Vex bots at the Franklin Institute in that count, So we really only had about 540-550 for the day, which is still pretty impressive.

At least we'll have a few good shots of our team in action... I hope...

While we are requesting photos does anyone have and pics/movies of me juggling?

That's still very impressive. I used to have 2-1 GB cards and a a 512 MB. Those 3 held about 400 in total. I upgraded to a 2 GB... And I just looked at it and forget what I said before cause it holds 663 pics. I can't wait for Regionals... I know I'll be maxing out the card each day haha. Us photographers can get a lil crazy sometimes, no? Lol. And I hope with all those pics that you got some nice ones

Well, today is our first post-Duel team meeting, so if anyone brings pictures, I'll request the Katie!1089 photo. I'm sure we have it SOMEWHERE, if not on video. Because we just love to tease our teammates. I'll also check out whatever else we have with our media chairperson, and upload some stuff soon.

[BandChick]

Well, it isn't the WHOLE shot of them being embarassed, but it's enough to make you laugh....

I really wanted to attend, I was so bummed out that could not come. My teaching class has me doing a lot of work this semester. I am def without a doubt next year going to attend and help out, I making that promise right now.
