Shhhhhhh....... Stogi, you were supposed to keep that a secret. Anyways, congrats to all of the winners, 365, 25 and 145-2? and to the Finalists 1218, 1143 and 433.

I was getting a bit cross-eyed editing the awards page, sql data base(will provide an asp view of this later), match results, uploading more photos, etc.

I will try to get the servers running in the next day or so, so for now the site is down untill than

The servers are back up and running and I have corrected the champions/Finalist mix up.

I will try to seperate the video into matches when I get the time.

It was awesome to watch as well. 1218 was great out there, I've been rooting for them since I saw them in Chesapeake. It would have been even more intense if 25 and 365 decided to form separate alliances though. Now that would have been crazy to watch: both putting up crazy hurdles against each other. I was a little disappointed in 341's performance, but I think it was just new drivers. On that note, much kudos to all the teams that actually use different drivers, I wish I was there to try out our robot. =/

Please sign us up now for next year.

i knew after my first match with both of them on the same alliance they would pick each other

How was the webcast? We found out how to increase the bitrate from last years 350kbps to 756kbps, we tried higher (1.5Mbps and 4Mbps) stream rates on Friday, but while the quality was extremely good , the only ones that could reliably view it without either freezing, or being jumpy were those with high speed internet such as cable or dedicated lines such as T1 etc.

Also for those that viewed the webcast, did you prefer the external player or the embedded player with meebo chat?

I opened the stream in VLC. It was nice. I heard other people had it buffering every like 20-30 seconds, but mine was great!

Thanks to Scott, Cliff, Frank, Team 222, and all the volunteers for another successful PARC event! PARC was the first off-season event MOE ever went to back in 2000 and it has had a big influence on many other off-seasons, including the Duel on the Delaware event MOE holds with Team 316.

All the teams did a great job and made for a fun day. Special thanks to Teams 25 and 145-2 for a fantastic alliance. Also, congrats to all award winners and the finalist alliance (433, 1218, 1143), who played some great matches.

I also give credit to the two alliances who played four matches to decide who was going to the finals. It was exhausting for us to watch. I'm sure it was tougher and more intense for you to play.

Team 145 - I would love to see any photos, video of the camera you mounted on the 145-2 bot.

Thanks also for the webcast and recorded match scores! Great job.

I hope everyone has a great summer!

Thank You for everything this year, you guys not only let us use your air cylinder at FLR, but you picked us for alliance partners there also. Then at PARC you and 25 took our little laptbot, that we modded for PARC 2 days before PARC, to become champs.

Also thanks for enjoying the fight we put up in the eliminations. We could of went onto the finals but the pneumatics in the bot that replaced 1640 blew. But, our driver, and I where dead tired. I have to say that was the most fun I had in any competition. The quarters where my fav still, P&G power baby =p.

Thanks 222 to sticking in there when it got rough.

I will get a link up for the Ish-cam when it is uploaded by the mentor who put his camera on the line.

I had an awesome time at PARC. Thanks again Scott for finally allowing me to reach that goal of becoming an anouncer... I hope to someday be able to do that at a Regional. What did everyone think? Did I do the job well?

Also, a great big thanks to the guys from The Cruzin' Comets for making my day a bit more random with all the notes.
