For more about this match, if anybody is curious, you can also look into the thread entitled " Thanks to all teams at UTC" about what an amazing match it was and how there could have been another intense match between the two excellent alliances had things gone differently. But it was an amazing match overall and by no means am I bitter at the refs call, they just called it as they saw it which is how it should be.

Thanks for posting the picture of us and 173 the engineers will be happy. That match was definitely intense. Definitely one of the better matches at the competition.

Kudos to whoever set it up. There was probably a two or three second delay in audio, but at least it is something. The video feed is pretty good, sometimes the color tinting would change from blue to green, but it was bearable. Also, when I maximized the webcast to fit the entire screen of my monitor, there was some pixelation, but not as horrific as it often gets with Real Player Webcasts (I believe from NASA). Again, good job to whoever set it up!

As for what I saw at this regional, there were a lot of ball handling robots! Many of which were able to hang, which kind of surprised me. At UCF, the majority of robots were bar-hanging. This regional helped us learn much, since we have not had any matches (yet) with awesome ball handling robots. I also have to comment on the high scores. This regional probably had the highest average qualifying scores yet. It will be interesting to see what type of robots will dominate the competition at Nationals for this year. I hope to see some of you guys in Atlanta!

Thanks for the kind words. The UTC webcast was set up by Team 230 with a lot of help from UTC & FIRST. Unfortunately we were only able to get in Wednesday before the event so we didn't have a lot of time to get the word out. If all goes well we will do it again next year. We will surely post info on www.shsrobotics.org.
