Thank You to our 2006 Cal Games Volunteers
By: Ken Leung, 06' Cal Games Manager

I would like to ask everyone to take a moment to look at the credits of the 2006 California Robot Games.

We can, of course, never thank the Cal Games Volunteers enough for all the time and effort they put in the past six months planning, organizing, and running the incredible event we have yesterday.

It is hard to believe 6 months have gone by since the day we said, "We will have Cal Games this year." It was still harder to believe we've recruited 200+ volunteers through out the various phases of the planning process. And it was hard to believe so many individuals from all over the Bay Area attended every planning meetings
since our kickoff on June 28th, 2006.

I must admit I was very anxious about whether we will be able to pull it off this year. But the moment I step off my car at the WRRF storage space for truck loading, the moment I step into the door of the Pioneer Gym for Friday setup, and the moment I went into the Pit Area Saturday morning and looked around, I knew we are in good hands.

Going beyond their ways to make sure every details are taken cared of, continuing tirelessly to work together as the Bay Area WRRF community, each and everyone of our Cal Games volunteers deserves our utmost gratitude.

Being a college student, still learning the way of life and pursuing the means to reach the things I want later in life, there is only one thing I can do to express my appreciation to this incredible group of folks:

I can only say thanks and shake their hands every time I see them at a robotics competition, and in whatever paths that follows in the years to come.

2006 California Robot Games Volunteers, Thank you so much for putting together a wonderful event!
