VCU thank yous

[thegathering]

To 116:
We are so honored to have you guys choose us to be your partners at the regionals. Your team has some of the best members we've met in terms of teamwork, strategy, and cooperation. Our entire team is still awestruck that we were chosen by you. We thank you so much for the great teamwork and great matches!

One group of people I forgot to thank, and they weren't at VCU, were the teams and people from Georgia who continued to call and text me everytime they saw that we were up on the webcast (832 and 1746 and alumni).

That truly meant more to us than we could ever explain.

Vegas will likely be the last stop for 1885 unless we do something amazing there.

The official word is: Team 1885 is not going to Atlanta. We decided to keep our money to grow the team due to the more limited budget we have this year compared to last year. Sorry 116... Maybe next year. But we still will be going to Vegas with a minimal team.

I want to thank team 510, Hawaii Five-10, for the amazing amount of spirit they showed, and for overall, being one of the nicest group of people there! And it isn't just me who thinks so, several of our students commented to me about how nice your team members were to them. You're amazing!

And thanks to team 122 for hating the situation that placed us against you every match as much as we did. You're a good team, both on and off the field, and I wish we had been given a chance to compete together.

And a special thanks to all of the volunteers who kept the event moving! Especially to the people who had to hand out goggles who had to stay in one spot all day and couldn't see the field or tv screen!

mine might have broke but I think it is the batteries. The ones they come with are crap.

haha you bought them too, did you see us (116) sitting at the tables trying to program em? oh and I was serious about the catching fire part XD

[VanMan]

Timmy, Spencer, and I were in the elevator for like an hour that night. I had like 10 donuts. I learned about lots of stuff. It was a fun night.

Team 2108 would like to thank:

Which ever team pulled the fire alarm at our hotel- Lots of us had not waken up yet because the alarm didn't work on the person who was waking everyone up. I really appreciate waiting outside for half an hour in the cold in shorts that I wear under my turtle costume. Thanks!!!~!

Andrew, all it did was start smoking. I think. Or did it really catch fire?

Oh yeah, I'd like to thank whoever pulled that alarm as well. I was still sleeping when that happened, and it wasn't a nice way to wake up.

What other teams were in the hotel with us? I know there was my team, 343, 345, and 2108... And I don't think anyone from 116 pulled it.

Thinking back on the competition, it was AWESOME. I am glad I got Green Hope involved with FIRST.

no one from 343 pulled it. we were all asleep or at breakfast. i think team 611 was near the end of the hall, someone should ask them, not to call anyone out or anything.

It doesn't help that you got it caught in Lori's hair now does it XD? But mine broke pretty easily as well, the batteries died and the fan blade bent so only half the lights lit up.



I'd like to thank:

1184 for loaning us the signs. The drivers said they really got a kick out of having us cheering them on, and we definitely wouldn't have gotten the same effect without them.

2108, 540, 843, 928, 1610, and 623 for the incredibly exciting final matches

Our alliance partners 1885 and 435 for performing wonderfully

And the staff for making the competition a blast.

Great news guys. My cool fan does work. I replaced the batteries and now it works.
