Wow thats great. Thanks Ellery.
haha, so that’s what the big “surprise” is tomo. I guess this will teach our marketing mentor to keep secrets. lol
Great News!
2228 was the best bot out of the box on Thursday, and played unlike their rookie status.
You will be a great addition to the Championship teams. Hopefully we will end up in the same division and get to root each other on again!
Go Cougar-Tech!!!
So I guess they are now officially the Cougar TechX
Congrats, Xerox picked a great team to back. You guys built a great bot and I am glad we had you as alliance partners. See you in Atlanta!
Xerox hasn’t officially picked them up yet. They’re just paying thier way to go down to Atlanta.
They did the same for Division by Zero a couple of years ago when they had qualified and believe me, they are not changing their name to Division by X.
Yeah, no jumping to conclusions now. It’s really cool that Xerox is gonna help us out, but that doesn’t mean they are gonna pick us up. That would be sweet, but it hasn’t happened.
We’re SO ***graciously grateful ***for Xerox’s decision to help us get down to Atlanta, as has ALSTOM in another big way, significantly offseting our team member’s cost to 28 hr train trip on down to Atlanta & hotel (all happened this week)! INCREDIBLE!! 
Icuiti, Guida’s Pizza, Simcona, SouthCo and others believed in us before we even gel-ed as a team…and this was AWESOME!
See CougarTech2228.com for team shots, as we’ll be uploading more pix, soon!
Our team’s spirit is backed by the spirit of our super sponsors, peer teams, school district, family and friends…giving our rookie team some serious strength to continue to believe in ourselves!! We are SO PSYCHED!
I’ve pinged Ellery, and we hope to have him as a guest at a team meeting, real soon!!
(wait till you guys see the cool robotic goodies we have to give-away!!)
Cool
Yea the give aways are pretty cool
I have the perfect name for you guys if you ever become a Xerox team:
X-ponential:D
haha, or maybe X-quisite. Actually, I’m a fan of X-emplary
How about the Cougar Tech X-Perience?
ooo, that’s a nice one. I’ll have to remember to tell that one to one of the underclassmen.
X-emplary Cougars
X-quisite Tech
heh, I still like the X-perience one.
The Cougar Xtreme
X Techs
neXt techX
Since I don’t have any personal team going to Atlanta this year, I will be cheering for 2228.
If you want I could try get you one of our regional shirts so you can cheer in the right colors 
OOOO! i want one too! i’ll wear it proud.
hm, I know we are definitly gonna try to make our “presence” known at ATL. I know we have some of the regional shirts left over. I’ll see how many I can grab for CD members that are gonna be at ATL.
your going to throw one of those my way right? I mean, I am half Kirkwood 
I’m unfortunately not going to be at Atlanta, if one of my teams were I would, but I’m not…
I’ll be cheering from my desk at RIT
Ah pity. Well, cheering is cheering 
what teams won in the finals
