Got it. I changed the year to 2011 (for obvious reasons). If we can get as many people as possible that are going to St. Louis to make some that would be great. What we did last year was give them to pit admin, they will know what to do with them (somehow they figured it out last year)

Thanks. I'll get a bunch of these printed and pressed for Championships.

Lemme know how things work out for you two (Brandon/Kyle)

[DiscoKittyPrime]

I'll help with making the buttons. My team is definitely going to championships and our team members say that they are missing the button making process. And best of luck to all the other Dean's list finalists out there, can't wait to meet all of you in St. Louis.

Last year I was fortunate enough to travel to Championships with a local team as their videographer....I'd be happy to help a team out with anything during the competition!

I am also attempting to convince my parents that winning Dean's List is a VERY good reason to go to Championships! Can anyone provide me with backup info?

Again, congrats and thank you!

I am actually in the same position as you.... with the addition that my finals are at the same time as the Championship :/ I hope I get to go, by some miracle, though and meet everyone!!

I hope you get to go too! I actually got invited to go to Championships by two different teams here in Oregon, including one who'll pay my travel expenses, so I'll definitely be there! Soooo excited and can't wait to meet y'all!

OK I want to brag on our kids for a minute. EnTech 281 also has two Dean's list finalists. Last year it was Megan Shew (who won it as a junior) and is our club's president. This year it is David Gaddy. David was our programming captain last year and leader of our FTC team that went to the eliminations at nationals. He spent countless hours working on our summer robot greeter project for the AJ Wittenberg elementary school here in Greenville (those at Palmetto had a chance to meet AJ at the arena north entrance). David was the unanimous choice for our robot team captain this year among our mentors, and saw us through another successful build season.

We could tell David had made Dean's list before the announcer because Megan was down on the field to present the award and peeked at the winner. She practically started bouncing out of her shoes.

Anyway, they are both great kids and we will miss them both next year.

Gah! I told her to stay as calm as possible if he won -- admittedly I had little faith in her ability to do so.

Week 5, Las Vegas Regional:
3009: Nathan Richard
987: Cody Wall

Congratulations, both of you!

(Sorry if either of the names is misspelled, the lights were completely blocking the screen)

You can add the Roseville FireBears (2846) as another team with two Dean's Lists Finalists. Sean Grogan won last year. Ben Prather won this year. Both at 10000 Lakes Regional.

Those two are among the many very good team members that make up our team.

Add 1730 Team Driven to the list of teams with 2 Dean's List winners. Paul Sites won it last year at the Greater Kansas City Regional and Clint Ott took home one of the awards yesterday at the Minnesota North Star Regional.

An added bonus was watching my son be presented the award by Dean Kamen himself on the field at Mariucci Arena. Thanks to Dean and all of the FIRST executives for making appearances at the Regional events. The kids get such a thrill out of seeing these individuals in person!

It was pretty funny (at least for the mentors). I'm not sure the kids realized what was going on and I'm sure David didn't (I was sitting two seats down from him).

Brandon, It was good to see you and your Dad at Palmetto -- I'm glad you two could make it.

Week 5: Northeast Utilities Connecticut Regional-

2836: Carolyn Michener
558: Rohit Grover

Team Beta is so proud of Carolyn! It's a great honor for her to be recognized this way for all she does!

[JB987]

A little correction on name of one of the LVR Dean's List winners...it's Cody Wall-Epstein. There isn't a more deserving kid out there and team 987 will miss him dearly next year. Of course if he goes to school locally we may not have to miss him after all
