Re: 2015 Central Illinois Regional
 

As we got back at 4:30 this morning I will try and type out something that is hopefully comprehendible.

First of all I can say that the Daredevils had an absolutely wonderful time at CIR. It was great seeing many of our friends from past regionals there as well as making some new friends in the process. The competition was smaller but at the same time very strong. We would like to thank all the teams, and volunteers who were at this event for making it a very enjoyable time!

Second, the finals matches made me believe this game could actually be exciting for once. With a couple of last minute stacks that I thought weren't possible the red alliance, they barely squeaked out a win by 5 points. Here is the video from our drivers station from the match: Finals Match 1

Last, Big congrats to 2481, 1756, and 2220 on the Regional win, Our good friends 876 on EI, 2039 on the regional chairmans, and all the other award winners at the event! Also thanks to 4143 and 4212 for being great alliance mates! Hopefully we will be seeing 2481, 1756, 2220, 876 and 4143 (because of wildcard) at CMPS

I know the kids of 4212 are quite excited to have competed in their first finals match. Thanks to 2512 and 4143 for being great alliance partners, and to 2481, 1756, and 2220 for a great couple of finals matches.

We at 5442 had an excellent and exciting weekend thanks to the help of many teams and individuals. Many lessons were learned and we appreciate the advice and patience given to us. Special thank you to the following (hopefully I cover everyone):

• 4143 Mars/Wars for helping myself and team get a start in FIRST. Can not count the number of things you have done over the past couple years.
• 1756 Robot Casserole for being a very fun team to work with on the field during qualifications. Our final qual on Saturday was the best teamwork, along with 3528, we experienced. Also thank you for your help working with our programmers. We will be in contact again for more advice I am sure.
• 2481 Roboteers because we were with you and 4009 our first match, our students had a kick out of being ranked 2nd (if only briefly).
• 171 and 2039 it was a lot of fun being in the elims as your alliance partners. Great experience even though we were not able to move on.
• Dean Kamen for signing our robot and meeting the drive team.
• Rookie teams 5665 and 5537 it was a pleasure meeting you both. Your spirit and attitudes were incredible.
• Tim and Vera for putting on such an amazing event.

Looking forward to seeing you all in St. Louis and at the 2016 CIR!

A huge shout-out to our friends on 2481 for taking home another Regional Winner award! They are continuing their momentum from a Einstein appearance last year and I don't know if there is any stopping them.

Great robot, but even more an amazing team!
