Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

With a Hall of Fame team winning, were any wild card slots awarded?

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

Thanks, but we actually won't be going to Ventura. We will see you in San Diego though!

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

Two wildcard slots were awarded, and with Code Orange getting EI, it resulted in all 6 teams in the finals qualifying for champs

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

Yes, both 359 winning and 3562 winning both on the field and Chairman's generated Wild Card slots for 3250 and 5136. So, along with 3476 winning EI, the entire Finalist alliance ended up advancing to World Champs. Pretty sweet.

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

Any comments on the paperless inspections system that was used? Any feedback (+ve/-ve) would be appreciated.

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

Ha you are correct anyhow GOOD show! Hope we can keep up.

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

That's great! All deserve to be there.

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

Jared is consolidating evaluations from the inspectors and will send them along.

Alliance picking order was:
1572 - 359(was rank 2) - 3562
3250 - 3476 - 5136
973 - 2485 - 1836
2496 - 3128 - 2493
3965 - 399 - 2375
294 - 1197 - 3328
597 - 5012 - 4413
1644 - 3408 - 100

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

With another Inland Empire regional is now in the books, here goes my usual round of thanks.

Thanks to the venue, Rancho Mirage HS for hosting the event! In my opinion, this venue has been the best host for the event. Pits were nice and spacious, arena layout was nice for spectators, and the weather(when it didn't rain!) was great!

Thanks to our playoffs alliance partners 597 and 4413! It was really fun to play with you guys. Too bad we couldn't continue the fun into semifinals.


Hope to see some of you at Las Vegas!

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

Does Jared do all Regionals? If so or not how do you get these from others?

Thx

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

Congratulations to 3562 Livewire (of Pahcatellow Indiana? lol) and their partners from the Tators! Hopefully we'll see you at champs (fingers crossed). Don't know why the other alliances passed 3562 over. Great scouting on the part of 1572 Hammerheads and 359 Hawaiian Kids. Finally, very nice teamwork on the winning alliance. You were a pleasure to watch.

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

On the behalf of Code Orange we like to thank our alliance partners.

3250, it was great that our alliance came into fruition. We had so much fun trading stories with you across the aisle.

Thank you 5136 for working so hard for our alliance strategy. You guys pulled off epic repairs. Your organization is really coming together, I think you guys will soon grow into a household name.


Congratulations to the wining alliance of 1572, 359 and 3562. It was a honor to play with such wonderful teams.

A special congratulations to 3562 for wining chairman's.

It is very cool that everyone at finals qualified for champs. I look forward to meeting you all there.

Thank you 973 for lending parts and a hand to keep our robot running. 973 is the definitive classy team. Even though we were competing against them they were still willing to lend us a hand. I will be rooting for you all to win LA.

Thank you to the IE planning committee and volunteers, you put together a great regional.

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

2496, Tru Blu, would like to also thank our alliance partners 3128 and 2493. We had a strong alliance and worked very well together! The robots were awesome and our drive teams worked very well together. It was rough to know that we only needed to raise our average score by 4 points. I know 3128 will be going to San Diego as well so we will get to compete together again.

Congratulations and to 1572, 359, and 3562 it was fun to watch all of the matches.

And congratulations to Code Orange, man so many awards what a great year! I will be stopping by your workshop hopefully in a couple of weeks (too many regionals lol). I know our teams will be working together in the future and getting closer.

Also to 3250 on getting the wild card slot! You guys have a great bot and deserve to go. I will be sure to stop by at the Sacramento Regional.

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

I had a great time, though I was a little tired by the end. I'd like to thank all the teams for playing, and for making my life both difficult with counting all your litter and can points and easy with not giving me much reason to take said points away via fouls. Special thanks to 1572 for loving to block an easy view for me by stacking and capping right by the backstop! :p

And for those wondering, I was reffing. I'm wondering how many CDers I missed recognizing (steelerborn and Boltman, were you on drive teams? If so, I think I can pair a face to a name now).

Re: Week 1 Inland Empire
 

Yup I was the drive coach for 2496. I had the blue hair.
I wore my leather jacket on Saturday because of the rain (and we did really well our first match of the day so didn't want to spoil the luck lol).
