2009 Buckeye Regional

[warren3023]

At the Buckeye Regional are the participants allowed to attach the bumpers on the competition practice day. Or do they have to be attached when it goes in the box.

[IndySam]

If you are asking if you must ship your bumpers with the robot the answer would be yes, unless you include them in you 40lb withholding allowance.

They do not have to be attached to the bot during shipping. In fact you could just ship a box of parts amd build your bot at competition.

[warren3023]

No what i mean is can we take them on the bus with us and attach them at the competition.

[Collin Fultz]

Yes, but they count under your 40 lbs of withholding allowance.

[Q. Sheets]

Who won this regional??? They stopped reporting the results at 3:00 PM to the FIRST site

Found the answer: 1747, 1038, and 2010.... Thank you Delphi E.L.I.T.E (FRC 48) for the recorded webcast footage!

[Fireworks 234]

Congrats to 1014 on your Chairman's!!!

Thanks to 1038 and 2010 for being great alliance partners!
And thanks to all of the volunteers that helped put the regional together! It was a fun regional!

[wilmo]

Congrats 1747, 1038, 2010. It was great playing against you in the finals. (sorta funny because team 868 vinyl awards for best dumper and shooter were on 1038 and 1747)

See you at boilermaker

[mathking]

Congrats to 1014 on your Chairman's!!!

Congratulations to you on your success on the field and in winning the Engineering Inspiration Award. You guys were great on and off the playing field. (And thanks for bringing some 1014 alumni with you, it was great to see them again.)

[Austin H]

I congratulate you for your victory, but call you on ramming, thanking for destroying our frame, guys.

[Qbranch]

Congratulations 1747, 1038, 2010! :]

I didn't get to attend Buckeye this year, but I'm sure all teams had a great time, it always is. Thanks to everyone there for their hard work this year!

1038: It's good to see you back on top. :D

1018: Awesome way to start a new season. :cool:

[Ryan Dognaux]

I congratulate you for your victory, but call you on ramming, thanking for destroying our frame, guys.

Ramming? This is the one year where ramming virtually doesn't exist thanks to bumpers and low traction.

However, nothing intentional like that would have been done, if you guys need help between now and Boilermaker, please contact one of the Purdue FIRST teams, we'll be glad to help out.


It was a really great weekend for all of the Purdue FIRST teams. 461 came out with a judges award, 1646 was undefeated by the end of the first day on Friday and 1747 came out on top with a regional win and engineering inspiration. Quite a weekend for all the teams.

A lot of Purdue FIRST students came from other Indiana teams, so it was also great to hear the deeds of some of our former teams like 45, 234 and 135 while we were at the regional. All in all, a very successful weekend for Indiana teams.

This regional taught all of my students (many first timers!) and mentors a lot about this game and we're going to be implementing a few changes for BMR.

Thanks Ohio!

[Austin H]

We shouldn't have much trouble with repairs, if for some reason it turns out to be too much (highly doubt it) our "big brother team" from Penn high school (I honestly can't remember their team number) would gladly lend a hand.

[Dan 1038]

Thanks to the following:
- 1747 for picking us to join them in the Eliminations, simply awesome!
- 2010 for playing killer D, without using the smokescreen they tried Friday...:D
- 1317 for being great neighbors in the stands and the pits
- 48 for being, um... well... for being Deplhi E.L.I.T.E!

Congrats to:
- 1014 for your Chairmans, Awesome!
- 1747 for winning EI
- 3010 for being the rookies in disguise - only the number gave you away, you guys rocked like veterans!
- 2917 for being a competitive Rookie at Buckeye with only 2 students on the team!

[Austin H]

Umm...
Thank you, but there were 15 of us there, and this is our third (my first) season.

[lenny8]

1018: Awesome way to start a new season. :cool:

thanks Q. seems like we will still be under the radar in boilermaker:D

[EricH]

Umm...
Thank you, but there were 15 of us there, and this is our third (my first) season.
Ummm... He wasn't talking about you guys. 2917, not 2197.

While I'm here, does anybody know who got the Saturday awards? Fantasy First kind of needs the information...

[Kyle Love]

Winners: 1747, 2010, 1038
CA: 1014
EI: 1747
GP: 829

That's all I remember off the top of my head.

[Austin H]

AH!

Now even I'm getting us mixed up!

You should have seen people on Thursday and even Friday morning.

[lenny8]

Web site award: 48

Rookie all star: #3010

rookie highest seeded: 3010

Regional Finalist: 1018,868,3010

all i can remember right now

[Fireworks 234]

And 461 got the Judges' Award

BTW, does anyone know why they haven't posted most of the items for Buckeye yet?

[Taylor]

thanks Q. seems like we will still be under the radar in boilermaker:D

1018 under the radar? You guys are due for a big run, and I think your showing at Buckeye was only a glimpse of what's to come. All these stellar and already-decorated Indiana teams coming together at BMR scare me - I only hope we play with them, not against them.

[Akash Rastogi]

Hey could someone fill me in on how 2399 did in qualifying matches? Much appreciated.

Congrats to 2399 for Delphi's DTT Award. You guys (gals I should say) really earned it!. =) Best wishes for Pittsburgh. Say hello to Ed Venator for me.

[Jimmy Nichols]

I want to throw my thanks out there to 1747 for picking us and for 2010 being a great partner. It was an awesome weekend!

Thanks everyone for the congratulations!

Now all we have to do is raise the money to go to Atlanta. Hope we can do it and get to see all of you down there.

Good luck to all the teams competing in your other regionals.

Here's the link to all of the rankings: http://www2.usfirst.org/2009comp/events/OH/rankings.html

It looks like they ended up 3-5

Thanks, but anyone have scouting info on them, just curious to see how effective they were individually.

Thanks!! Yeah, we went 3-5 and placed 44th over all. I'll definitely let Ed know that you say hello.

[gwytheyrn]

As of the 6th match, 2399 scored about 3.83 moon rocks per match, .167 of which come from the robot. Scoring percentage of the human player was 17.33%. Max score: 10. Min score: 0. Avg net points (points scored-scored upon): -4.5
There was a point that is believed to have error in it, and this is as of the end of friday, so this may or may not reflect 2399's actual performance

[Akash Rastogi]

Better record and better rank than us in Trenton! ^_^

Nice job, keep it up for Pittsburgh and I'll try to have some people keep an eye on you guys for that regional incase you need help.

Thanks, that would be awesome! And, congrats on being semi-finalists.

On behalf of 1038 (and I'm sure all of the teams), big thanks to the Regional Planning Committee for a job well done. As usual, Buckeye was a great event and we had a wonderful time.

Personally, I want to thank our FTA, Katie, for her grace and calm throughout. You did an excellent job keeping things running. I can only imagine the number of "bugs" :yikes: you needed to work out with the new system on the first weekend of competition. Well done.:cool:

And to our very gracious Head Ref - we had fun and you made sure of it. BTW, I'll be fashioning some velcro restrains for my hands to use in Atlanta.:D
