Thanks everyone. I cut and paste from the FIRST website which is updated by event staff at each event.

Congratulations to Tom Ore for winning it at Iowa, but how come you didn’t tell us about your team switch? I thought you were a Swartdog? :wink:





Thanks - its quite an honor - so many mentors work so hard for their teams. I keep checking TheBlueAlliance awards page to see my name - I want to be sure I didn’t walk off with someone else’s trophy.

I’m hoping the team number was a typo - I really wasn’t ready to move to New York.

Team 4944, The Hi Fives, just had our lead mentor Sergio Galindo win the Woodie Flowers award at the Colorado Regional. This is his 14th year in FIRST: the first four spent as a student and the following 10 spent as a mentor for 2 different teams.

Congratulations Everyone!

It’s actually “Sergio Galindo 4944 Colorado”
Wrong team number :]

Team 525, the Swartdogs, definitely claim Tom Ore, a very deserving recipient. His banner is a nice addition to the Woodie Flowers wall at our shop.
