Excuse me. I think you are forgetting the best regional this season.
The Hawaii regional. :)

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

Whoops, I had it in Week 6 on my spreadsheet. Editing now.

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

Could've sworn there were more possibilities for Wildcard slots in Windsor-Essex. With most of these teams having strong chances to make it to finals or better, we could still see all 6 teams in the finals making it on to champs.

772 - NB Engineering Inspiration
781 - GTE Chairman's Winner
1241 - GTW Chairman's Winner
1285 - GTE Regional Winner
1305 - WAT Engineering Inspiration/NB Chairman's Winner
2056 - WAT Regional Winner
4917 - WAT Rookie All-Star

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

Does anyone know which teams will create wildcard spots at the Colorado Regional?

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

I've been keeping track, look for a post here in a couple of days with all the possible teams for Week 6 regionals.

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

At 10,000 lakes the second seed alliance (2052, 3313, 2227) Beat the fourth seed alliance (4536, 2705, 3202). 2052 Won the lake superior regional so team 4536 MinuteBots gained a wildcard spot at champs.

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

The winning alliance at Peachtree consisted of a previous Regional Winner (2283, who won the Mexico City Regional), and so the captain of the finalist alliance, 3318, received a wild card invitation to the Championships.

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

The winning alliance at Finger Lakes (1507, 20, 378) contained Team 20, The Rocketeers which had won a previous regional. A wildcard invitation qualified Finalist alliance captain 3015 Ranger Robotics for Champs.

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

At the Hawaii regional: Team 2443, Blue Thunder, from Maui, Hawaii qualified for the Championships as the captain of the finalist alliance from 359.

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

Walton robotics (Team 2974) won chairman's at peachtree (congratulations). Since they won EI at Palmetto we thought there might be a 2nd wildcard at Peachtree but FIRST said 'no'.

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

I'm fairly certain wildcards only apply if you win your second event after qualifying at your first, not if you win an award like Chairman's or EI.

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

Yep, you have to win the second event to create a wildcard.

Re: Wildcard 2014
 

I believe for CO the wildcard possibilities are:

2996 (Winner, CM Utah)
3562 (EI Central Valley)
4499 (EI Inland Empire)
