Team 2945 Power Surge took top honors winning the Inspire Award and Captain of the Winning Alliance. Check out their autonomous skill - they were able to do this every time!
They were also pretty good in teleop mode:
A special thanks goes out to National Instruments. In addition to creating LabVIEW and NXT-G programming platforms, they also developed the Field Management System. They've put in countless hours and without their dedication and hard work the 2008/2009 FTC season would not have happened. They were recognized at the Arlington event this weekend.
Manchester FTC personnel were at each event and we continue to be amazed (and appreciative) of all the work local volunteers put into these events and this program. I got to see first hand how Joe Perrotto and his team in Delaware run these events, like old-pros. Carter Tiernan and her team at the University of Texas, Arlington are also FTC "originals" and put on a great event.
See you out there,
Ken

Amazing!
I've heard that last year teams qualified for Atlanta on the basis of other awards won throughout the season. Is there even a remote chance of this happening again (and did this actually happen last year)?
darthpragus, not sure what you heard from last year..
but only the inspire winner and the captain of the winning alliance was guaranteed a spot at last year's World.
In the end, there were plenty of spaces left that the other two members of the winning alliance was also invited.
Even after that, there were a few spots left.. What they did last year was put all of the Amaze Award winner in a poll and randomly select those... I know the Amaze winner from my state went to the World because of this.. I am not sure if there are any Amaze winner from other state that didn't get selected through the random drawing..
As for this year.., again, only the inspire winner and captain of the winning alliance is invited (or guarantee a spot at World)...
Even with more events going on this year 40 championship versus 32 last year, we are still seeing alot of teams winning at multiple events.. case in point, team 2945 that won at two different events, plus the inspire award at one of them..
I think the first pick in the winning alliance will also get to go... We may even see the second pick of the winning alliance get to go too...
I am not sure the winner of the Design award (this year's replacement of the Amaze award) will get to go though...
just my opinion...
Thanks! You've given some hope to a team that won 4 awards, was semifinalists twice, finalists once, and eliminated by Power Surge 2 out of 3 tournaments.
oops,
sorry, I meant Think Award was the last addition last year, not the Amaze award..
sorry I got confused..
Weekends to peopleig2tmean that they can have a two-day wowgold4europe good rest. For example， people gameusdcan go out to enjoy themselves or get meinwowgoldtogether with relatives and friends to talk with each storeingameother or watch interesting video tapes with the speebiewhole family.
Everyone spends agamegoldweekends in his ownmmoflyway. Within two days,some people can relax themselves by listening to music， reading novels，or watchingogeworld films. Others perhaps are more active by playing basketball，wimming ormmorpgvipdancing. Different people have different gamesavorrelaxations.
I often spend weekends withoggsalemy family or my friends. Sometimes my parents take me on a visit to their old friends. Sometimesgamersell I go to the library to study or borrow some books tommovirtexgain much knowledge. I also go to see various exhibition to broadenrpg tradermy vision. An excursion to seashore or mountain resorts is my favorite way of spending weekends. Weekends are always enjoyable for me.
