As a judge, I want to second what Juliann said about the
Tournament. It went off so smoothly. We never felt pressured for
time, as teams were usually where they needed to be ahead of time and willing to
go early. Thank you to Cleo, Darlene and the other judges, referees and
volunteers.
I continue to be impressed with parents and coaches and how they
handle the teams in positive and encouraging ways. And the teams, oh, what
can I say! Such remarkable young people. I have no doubt, I will be
involved with USFIRST and VIRGINIA FIRST for many years to come.
I want to thank the teams and coaches from the bottom of my
heart. Judging is an honor and you make it the most fun day of the
year for my oldest daughter Jackie (who is a volunteer) and myself...

Wow!
With all that you had going on
around you (i.e. the marathon) and all you had going on at Maggie Walker – that
was a lot of teams - and all the questions last minute (mine included
about the strategic objects!) you guys never let us see you sweat. Special
thanks for the chairs next to the competition tables those really made a
difference! Everyone was helpful and knew how to keep things running
smoothly. The announcements were so helpful to keeping us on time, our pit
helper – she was AWEOME – Catherine W. – please give her special thanks from our
team I could not find her after the meet – not only did she get us where we
needed to be – she really helped calm me and my team who had so many robot
issues we had to keep tweaking and re-downloading programs within minutes of
going to the competition table. And the judges … they were all so kind to
the kids… everyone deserves major thanks! No job was too small – even the
boy who saw my kid had a scrape on his leg and ran to get us a bandaid -
every volunteer made a positive difference and it
showed!
Thanks
!
