How can you argue with facts - obviously the midwest is the tougher region!

Or maybe you had some bad luck in Chicago? Or maybe you broke down?

Okay... I can't help it.

How'd you guys seed in Newton?

Actually I have no clue...but John, i think you were standing right next to me and Paul Copioli when we got picked in the first round despite our lousy qualifying luck.

(note: we did have bad luck at Nats for our robot: 118 hit our power switch in auton, our solenoid block got smashed in auton another match, we caught our hook on the human player station, etc)

Flawless every match - had to be the level of competition - no other explanation.

And we had the best human player in the world.
100%.
Never missed a shot.
Going to the NBA as soon as he has his diploma.
I think he is Reggie Millers' replacement.


Matt - BYW / I was serious about that 'All-Star' team from CA. PM me if you are interested.

After reading the post by Matt D it seems that when push comes to shove that the Cheesypoofs are more Poof than anything. It must be the laid back life dude.

oh matt d doesnt need to worry about that at all. Thanks to our international robotics exchange program, Team 188 will actually be putting some action behind all this turkey talk and will be heading down to SoCal in 2005 after hosting Team 22 this year. And uh, yeah, how about that laid back life? maybe you'll just take our drubbing of you easily hmm? =D

Since we can do everything, that's ok that we do not have complementary alliance partners (unlike all of your regions, where you need alliance partners who do something different from you).

Actually, if you're scared of Kingman, come to the Cal Games. We will beat you with our practice robot and our competition robot.

If you want to know what happens when the Midwest challenges us on our home turf, look at Chief Delphi's performance at SVR.

If you want to know how the Northeast compares to the West, look at 190 at SVR in 2003 (not sure about the year...might have been 2002).

If you want to know how the South compares to the West, look at 945 at Sacramento (they were the best of the three regions).

Canadian teams have not come to either Sacramento or Silicon Valley yet.

btw...there are many more excellent Western robots

not to mention 469

Matt,
I'm just kidding.
You guys are awesome. I'm just being a Northeast jerk, in the spirit of the thread. ;)

Matt D,

I love your robot, but while we're on the topic of teams competing across country, let's take a little stroll down memory lane.

The year is 2002. The game is Zone Zeal. The site, is the Buckeye Regional. The result, the Poofs lose in the semifinals. If my memory serves me correctly, you guys have won 9 of the 11 regional events you've ever been to. Could it just be a coincidence that you happen to lose the only one you've been to outside of California? Hmmm. Or maybe you'll do what I like to do, and blame it Clarkson... ;)

Just stirring the pot...

Re: The Regional Wars
 
ok...we lost when we went to Cleveland. The Midwest it better than us. what can I say?

hopefully we will go down to a different regional than just sacramento and svr so we will get to play against some of your awesome teams.

(please note that everythingi say in this thread, meaning my joking bragging, is just for fun and not serious. please do not think that I really think we would necessarily win etc. I just think it would be fun to play with or against some teams from other locations. I think the achievements of the Midwest are incredible and i look up to many of those teams. Remember, this thread is all in fun)

The year is 2000. The site, Lonestar regional. The result, we are the champions. That seems to me to be another regional victory outside of CA.

What round of the finals did you lose in again? How'd you do the year before at AZ?

DJ,

I haven't forgotten 1999. Like I said earlier, I have a good memory of 1999 at Rumble at the Rock when my team (Team 42 at the time) sent the Technokittens into the deep realm of defeat...after we ripped the tread off their drive system, and ripped them right off the puck...promptly replacing them ON the puck for the victory ;)

To be quite honest though, I do have alot of respect for the Technokats ability to play defense all these years...I will always consider them a northeast team trapped in the offsensive land of Indiana ;)

How can you argue with facts - obviously the midwest is the tougher region!

Team 64 seeded 14th in seattle 2002 and 1st in LA that must mean Seattle is better than California. But wait, 22 seeded 1st in Seattle the same year and 28th in LA. Interesting.

Matt I think you are handling yourself better than I would. The Cheesy Poofs lost in Buckeye because they were in the middle of changing their design. They got it right in San Jose, seeded 1st and won the very next week.

I think I'll stop because I have a tendancy to offend people. PM me or hit me up on my AIM @ FluffyBlink if you want get into it.

I forget that, too. But I think we had jet lag. That 2 hour time difference is a killer on us Indiana farm kids. we normally don't travel outside of the county.

PS - Don't try to add new facts to confuse my selectively chosen facts.
