Canadian Regional thank-yous and congrats from 296
First of all, I want to congratulate the organizers of and volunteers at the 2004 Canadian Regional. It was by far the best-run and most fun regional competition I have ever been to.
Secondly, I want to thank 1295, 1246, and another team whose number I don't remember, who all generously gave us new drill motor mounts when ours snapped and our mentors thought it was all over for us. Thanks to you, we were able to get our drive train running again in time for eliminations.
Lastly, I want to thank our alliance partners, teams 781 and 1109, for their great work. If you guys from 781 hadn't hung every match, alliance #13, the "Cinderella Alliance" (as the announcer called us), wouldn't have made it through two tough rounds to the semi-finals. Also, my sympathies to team 610, who were unable to to get their robot fixed in time for the third match of the second round.
Also, congrats to 639, 33, and 1112 for winning, and to 1114, 48, and 1006 for finishing in a very close second.
Good luck to all the teams from the CR who are going to Atlanta, and we'll see you there.
