We have a recorded version of a few more elimination matches as well (missing some SFs and Finals matches unfortunately, no more camera battery :D). Congratulations to everyone who competed once again! It was a great year to be a part of MN FIRST Robotics. |

Re: 2015 Minnesota State Championship
Congrats to all teams competing in the 4th MSHSL Tournament!
After the dust settled, it was apparent that 2512 (Duluth East Daredevils) and 3130 (East Ridge ERRORS) cemented their spots as premier teams in Minnesota. They had to go through perennial powerhouse 2052 (KnightKrawler) - the two time defending champion - and an always strong 2883 (FRED). 3130 and 2512 have been powerhouses in Minnesota for as long as my team has been around. To see these two teams do as well as they did throughout the FRC season and then cap it off with a State Tournament Championship was satisfying . I can go back to the Centurion-Krawler week zero event and even then my team saw something special in 3130. And then 2512 made it to the CMP finals - well, I hope to think it is a sign of good things to come for MN on the national stage. The State Tournament saw many new teams, but there was a strong contingent of teams with tournament experience. FRC teams 3276 (ToolCats) and 4778 (StormBots) finished in 3rd place - bringing home their second Walnut trophies! As a state, we are a late-comer to the game. However, I think with the leadership we have, MN will continue to set trends. Oh - and I do not want to overlook strong showings by teams such as: 5172 - The Gators from GBMR - a second year team, second time they made it to the eliminations at state! 2526 - Lake Superior Champion/Team Spirit Award - looking forward to what you bring in the coming years! 2181 - Impressive showing at Centurion-Krawler event - no surprise on their success! 2667 - AV "How 'bout dem apples" - err "Knights of the Valley" - a strong team for so long. And of course, my son's favorite team - the Green Machine from Edina... FRC 1816. Without their leadership, none of this would have been possible. There are so many other teams that deserve congratulations - for competing in the State Tournament - Congrats! Thank you to all that volunteered and made this event possible for the last 4 seasons - it has become a staple in MN! |
Re: 2015 Minnesota State Championship
Wow. This was the fourth State Tournament I've been to and the third time I'd been here as a competitor. It's also probably one of the one's I'm most proud of.
It's been a whirlwind year with the Knights of the Valley and I'm so incredibly proud of our students for finishing up so strong. All I can really say is that I'm inspired by the students from my team... this must be what being a mentor feels like. I'm not sure many people know this, but this was a very bizarre year for both 2667 and myself. I actually joined the team midseason, and both myself and the team were coming off of a bummer year in 2014-- myself from the unfortunate events at North Star Regional, and 2667 from their fourth straight bottom-third finish. I think we were both fed up at that point, and we gave it our all to have what probably is the best season we've had on our own merit. For the first time, we were an alliance captain at a regional and qualified for the state tournament, and it's all thanks to the incredible, determined students of our team, supported by some fantastic mentors. I'm seriously looking forward to another year working with the awesome people at Apple Valley High School, win or lose. I'm just happy to have shared this excellent season with you all. |
