If you saw 3.0 in the second match, you saw it all. It litteraly almost toppled over and only one wing went down half the way. The team that won sat behind us and shook our hands, great GP guyes.
if anyone from 122 is reading this, we hope we get to play with you guys again, you are an awesome group. I heard you’ll also be at drexel, so we’ll see you again there.
Again, thanks for the words and thanks for your great performance. We lost the second match by a tie-breaker, all while our drive train was in terrible shape (from the fall w/o the shock absorber–all the chains were terribly loose, and a bolt fell off on the wheel mount, making it move), so we can’t feel too bad, we did our best. Oh, and can’t wait to see you guys in Philly … I think you’ve made a few of our team members honorary MOE members 
(they have the bandana and wood blocks, and they’re crazy about you)

Yeah, MOE suffered pretty bad through that final elim match, but i think this short dialogue sums is up.
Match has been played, parts from robots are strewn all over the playing field.
Referee hands Human Player our center gripper
REF: Here’s your center gripper.
HP: Thanks…
HP puts gripper on cart.
d’oh!

all of you guys are honorary moe members. we were all so happy that we got picked by such an awesome team. I think most everyone agrees (from all of our teams and others) that if we all didn’t break, we’d have been an unstoppable alliance. with two goal grabbers and a robot powerful enough to keep us from moving, you had a solid elimination round strategy that would have worked perfectly. we’re working through some things at home now and will be up and running in no time. see you guys in philly.
Simon
yeah we thought a lot about just domninating the matches, it is a good but risky idea, best of luck to ya
thanks again, 122, like simon said… good luck all at nationals and your next regional! it promises to be fun, i’ll see some of you at philly i’m sure, and we’ll be making a few modifications that will make MOEHawk beastlier than ever, a few structural additions, and some other things will be made/added at philly, so don’t count us out yet! i hope everyone learned as much as we did at VCU, because strength is more imparative than ever… once again, good luck all!
ps- stupid washers
yes Simon, I agree… STUPID WASHERS!!! And remember… we must wear our “pit-beotch” necklaces with pride. For only we shall be given the wacky pit jobs… like fileing the edges of 40 washers. oh well… It turned out to be fun.
And my poor center pusher! (single tear rolls down face.) It never got to prove it’s worth. Oh well… I heart making spare parts.
And I also heart 122 -the NASA knights- your castle is very close to swanky, and you all know I luv you guys; You’ve been honorary MOE members ever since Science Day in DC. When we got to hang out at the hotel, the offices, that silly ‘dinner’ thing, and the train station together. To bad Dean wouldn’t let us ride the I-bot. oh well…

and so we shall always have the stupid pit jobs. oh well, those jobs have to be done by someone (I only wish lou’d pick someone else).
anyway, to dave’s comment, we did learn a lot from richmond including what we need to change. now all we have to do is finish all these things by wednesday. I just hope joe doesn’t make us stay too late, cause I like sleep.

Nope, 'fraid not. She won’t be in Philly or Nationals either. I’ll tell her that you said hi though!!
~Tom Fairchild~
As one of the honorary MOE members who got one of the cool bandanas, I want to say I LOVE YOU MOE!!! You are so the coolest!! I will have a shirt next…
Simon… what is this ‘sleep’ you speak of? It is a forign word to me. Now MOE-tain dew and Frappachinos I understand 
Thanx Tom! (I think I have marydawns e-mail address somewhere from DC I’ll have to excavate it.)
And Alex… I think you’re going to have to beg for a while if you want one of our swanky shirts.
-Ducky-
Believe you me she will find a way to get one of those “swanky” shirts!
Haha hope to compete with you guys again.

also a holder of the elusive green bandanna
Well, I’m going to try and get one of your nice hats at Drexel. Maybe a trade with my own green bandanna. As for the issue of shirts, I have an answer, but it is in riddle form…
“If the shirt you seek is of green, quite bright.
Then search for Jim with all your might.
Look low, look high, look in the stand.
For a 6’1” student with a green band.
Bring a shirt of your own, nothing’s free,
size XL, and a trade shall be."
Where am I going to find an x large shirt!!! Plus, this is probably ruining my chances, but you dont want one of our shirts, they are extremely ugly and boring!!! =) I will just have to steal someone elses!!
GO MOE!!!
Well, the Miricle Workerz returned today from a rather interesting weekend in Philly this weekend. We ran into some problems early (grippers), but we overcame them to finish off the qualifying rounds with 5 straight wins. Kudos go out to the pit crew, as seemingly every time MOEhawk returned from the field, there was major damage that we needed to fix. However, every time MOE came on the field, we had a working robot to cheer for. I think that we have found many of our weak spots and have completed the neccesary tasks to fix them. We should have nearly all the kinks in MOE’s armor strengthened by Nats.
PS. Thanks to team 433 the firebirds for picking us for the eliminations, we had a great time.
yes, a big kudos to our pitcrew for the hard work. No matter how bad it was coming in, it always went out looking new.
I’m exceptionally proud of the pit crew getting out a perfect wing in 15 mins. You guys are just great.
Brian, Alex, and Rishad: You guys did great we won our last 5 matches-thats awsome!
I hope well get things straightened out for Florida.
Haha, nice pun aman, i’m sure it was unintentional, but i hope we get things “straightened out” too… thanks for picking us. firebirds! it was fun fixin’ stuff- competition team, but not fun enough that we need to keep up our record. on behalf of the pit crew, your moral support after match 84 (was it?) was greatly appreciated, and needed, we were under a lot of pressure, but the result was a nice repair job, so, thanks to the rest of ya on the crew too! congrats, regional champs, cya’ll in florida
