Re: DETRIOT REGIONAL THREAD
 

Thanks Paul! It was great to be next to your team in the pits. As always, both your robot and team were exceptional.

I really don't know how we accomplished winning two Regionals this year except to give credit to our alliance partners in Pittsburgh and Detroit. Having never won a Regional in our 7 year history, I guess maybe we were due. Without teams 47 and 313, I'm sure that the outcome would not have been the same. They were both terrific alliance partners and the majority of the credit should go to them.

Good luck to everyone else who still has a Regional to compete in or are heading down to Atlanta.

Team 1037 would just like to express our appreciation in the gracious professionalism displayed by Team 1286 for loaning quite a few of their battery chargers and batteries to us when we were chosen for the finals.
THANKS SO MUCH!!! :)

Re: DETRIOT REGIONAL THREAD
 

Team #1447 would also like to thank Team #1286 for their gracious professionalism, especially when we lost charge from one of our batteries and our charger malfunctioned. The truly exemplify the nature of FIRST competitions.

Congratulations to all teams that were in the Detroit Regional! It was a great match in the finals!

Re: DETRIOT REGIONAL THREAD
 

Just wanted to thank teams 1216, and 1000 for inviting us into their alliance, it was alot of fun for us. Also thank you to the winners (5, 47, 313) for such a great match in the end, you guys rule. Thanks to everyone else also, for making it a great first regional for our team.

we (cheif delphi ) did not kock over 33 in autonomous....... because we didnt have a autonomoue :D

Re: DETRIOT REGIONAL THREAD
 

The scream team ran into the Bees but I think the Bees had tipped over during autonomous. We got tipped over by 818 duriing one match and unfortunately landed on the side that we can't right ourselves. Toobad because that would have been alot more fun if we weren't on our side.
Sha - yes you are correct what you wrote, but that is not a permanent situation.

Re: DETRIOT REGIONAL THREAD
 

This regional was one of the nicest regionals we have ever been to. Everyone involved seemed so nice including teams and those running the event. Though seating was kind of tight, we really enjoyed everything about the event. Thank you to those that made this regional happen! And a BIG thank you to 217!!!!! You guys were awesome! Thank you to team 33 as well for being so helpful! (Especially you, Jordan!)

Re: DETRIOT REGIONAL THREAD
 

Detriot was an excellent Regional. It was fun and had plenty of good competition. Everyone was nice and it all worked out great. I would like to thank Team 217 for all their help. We wouldn't have done as well as we did without their help, especially help from Rick, Scott, and Jim. Thank you for all your help. We will see you at IRI. Thanks.

One thing no one seems to mention...there was no dancing! Heheh. I would have enjoyed dancing. I know that we danced to the Cha-Cha Slide, but that was basically it. I was a bit disappointed, but hey! the Cha-Cha Slide was great, still..... :D
