Bluejacket Robotics will be there.... Rookie team from Cambridge Isanti High School. #5464

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

3883 will be in attendance as always, and for the first time since our rookie year, on the other side of the regional. We'll also be with all the other teams in our school district (sans Woodbury, sadly), which I find especially cool.

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

Will 359 be back anytime soon to defend their title?

If 2052, 4011, 2175, or 2502 wins the double DECCer match this year, can we call them the double Double DECCer champions? If 4011 and 2052 win together or 2175 and 2502 win together, would that pair then be the double Double DECCer double champions? :ahh:

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

The Swartdogs are looking forward to heading north to Duluth again. We hope the weather is nice like it was last time we were there in 2013. I recall eating lunch outside next to our bus. Many of our mentors will be there filling volunteer roles as well.

Hello! It's time to probably revive an old thread, seeing as NL never got their own. This was my first time volunteering, and it was a total blast. Being field reset is really fun but also kind of difficult. Also worth it! I'd highly reccomend volunteering, even if you're just a little curious about it. #NoRegrets

Also, very loud shoutout to all the winning teams! There were so many and they were all so great. Every award counts, no matter how small! :D

Who won the bouble decker. Lake Superior or Northern Lights what teams

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

It was a blast! Winning the judges award was awesome!

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

3130, 525, and 4215!

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

Northern Lights won.
Northern Lights alliance: 3130, 525, 4215
Lake Superior alliance: 2526, 4818, 93

Final score: ~60 to ~110 in favor of Northern Lights.

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

And that was a low scoring match for 3130, 525 and 4215. They were a force to be reckoned with.

To steal a line from "A Knight's Tale" the only way to beat them is with a stick, while they sleep.

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

It was also a VERY low scoring match for the Lake Superior Alliance. 110 was pretty average for them, so they easily could have beaten Northern Lights. I agree that the Northern Lights alliance was probably better, but they weren't scoring the 150+ points I had been hearing about in this match.

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

I remember catching a few practice matches on Thursday and seeing 3130. And the ease at which they grabbed totes from the landfill made me really believe they were the best robot there. Good on them for going out and winning.

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

I suspect that neither alliance had the energy to give it their best effort. It was very late in the day and it was just an exhibition match after all. At that point we all just wanted to go home.

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

First off I would like to congratulate the winning alliance of 3130 The ERRORs, 525 The Swartdogs, and 4215 The Tritons. Your alliance was amazing and I believe you guys put up some of the highest scores of week one events. You all will go on to do great things at champs. I would also like to thank team 5172 The Gators and 4786 Nicolet F.E.A.R. for being great alliance partners. You guys definitely deserved to go to champs. Also congrats to team 2500 Herobotics for winning Engineering Inspiration and 5464 The Blue Jackets for winning Rookie All-Star. To 5464, I hope you enjoy your first time going to champs. It is truly an inspiring experience. I had a great time during my last Northern Lights Regional as a student and would like to thank all of the great volunteers at the event and all of the field crew for doing there best to get the FMS up and running.

Re: Double Decker in Duluth
 

We were in the third place alliance at Northern Lights :D It was so much fun, thanks guys for the great time! (Our robot 2846 was the one that grabbed and stacked 2 totes horizontally.)

We noticed a few discrepancies between the five columns at the bottom and the total final score when scouting. Are those supposed to add up every time?

Also scouting. We did scout at Northern Lights. There are teams that have much more accurate scouting data but it's better than using the force :D We posted part of it on our website here
