Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

Team 2834 will be coming for the first time. We are from the Metro Detroit area. I hope it is okay.

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

Thanks for the information everyone. I believe we will see you all in Cleveland.

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

Team 781—The Kinetic Knights—will be making our return from 2 years ago to the marvellous city of Cleveland, Ohio! Can't wait to see the teams we missed last year!

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

Gettin' pumped for Fingerlakes 2.0!

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

201's signed up. Which teams should we look out for? All these names are foreign to me.

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

Is this your guys' first time coming to Buckeye? We've been a team since 2010 coming back every year- and it looks like there's a lot of new (and returning) faces this year!

3266 checking in.

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

Forgive me if I don't mention some names, but here's what I would notice on FIRST glance.

1126—SparX—is a year in and year out excellent team that did a great job at Finger Lakes this year with 48 and another team, even making the finals.

340—Greater Rochestor Robotics (GRR)—is one of the defending winners of the Buckeye regional and have a great bot; look out for them. They're also a model FRC team with 7 chairman's wins at Finger Lakes, including a 5 straight streak broken this year by 2809, K-Botics.

2016—Mighty Monkey Wrenches—are also a brilliant team with 2 regional chairman's wins and good success at world's, including a world finalist in 2011 and Newton finalists in 2008.

Kind of brief, but I figured you just wanted to know some name and numbers to watch for at the regional. I'm sure you'll get to know more about them at the regional; they light up the competition.

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

All of them.

And no seriously, all of the teams descending upon Buckeye are top notch, reaching elimination matches in their previous events. This year, Buckeye is not just a random set of teams but a high-performance event and I bet that you'll find a lot of surprise winners.


On another note, 174 knows what was wrong with our drive train back from at FLR (we think) and will be fixing it most of thursday. We will make a much better showing at Buckeye so everyone better throw out your old scouting data on us. :D

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

Couldn't agree more- the first time we saw the roster for Buckeye we knew it was going to be the toughest event we're attending. 68, 174, 706, and of course 1/3 of FLR's winning alliance, 3003. Definitely going to be an awesome event.

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

It is great what some teams can do between regionals. Paul Copioli—or Mike and Justin, I couldn't tell who was speaking at the time—was mentioning in a match how 772's shooter has gotten a lot better from one regional to the next.

Our robot also improved a lot from our... interesting performance at Toronto East to Waterloo, where we got our 3 disc autonomous working in one match and a couple discs in most other matches later on. An example of how our shooter got a lot better was in a match with 1114 where we were completely ignored by a defensive bot in favour of going after Simbotics, which gave us open ground and we winded up getting a good number of frisbees ourselves.

It's great to see what the teams' pit crews can do in such a minimal amount of time.

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

1629 GaCo would like to wish everyone safe travels in this snowy weather. The robots are about to decend upon Cleveland!!!! Watch out, here we come!

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

Team 3260 from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania will be attending. It should be interesting as this our first FRC regional outside of the Pittsburgh regional.

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

3591 will be there

Re: 2013 Buckeye Regional
 

Here's the current weather forecast. Make sure you dress appropriately, especially if you plan on walking to Quicken Loans Arena for the social. Being by the lake can make it feel colder than what it is when they wind is blowing.
