Our team webpage can be found at http://www.moerobotics.org. I was one of the drivers for our robot, called M.O.E. (Miracle of Engineering). We were in the Newton division, and although we had some bad luck early in the competition, we got picked by team 71, Hammond and went on to win our division and the whole competition.
My National Champion medal and my team jersey signed by Woody Flowers (National Advisor to first, and professor at MIT) is proudly displayed in my room.:-)
If anyone from our alliance is reading, I'd like to thank them for a job well done, you deserve the National Championship.
The world needs more people like Dean Kamen, and the many engineers and parents who helped out our team.
i didn't watch the web cam, but if any of you say this looks boring does this competition no justice. I was a driver for one of the teams in the finals, and what happened was we tied for a score of 552(a really good score for both of us). to break the tie we used the average seed points for each team, and the other alliance beat us by 2.6 points! it was a really close match, and all of the other robots on teh field showed innovation and good engineering skill. I look forward to attending another regional in Philly, and then going to Orlando!

Damn! I really would like to see this. Checked the theater in bensalem, and they aren't playing it. Neither is the Ritz. :-(
