Re: Pittsburgh and Cleveland Regionals

Team 1249 is in the same situation. Both are regions that we attended in the past and can only attend one this year. We first picked cleveland and then decided to attend Pittsburgh because we won the championship there last year and wanted to try it again. We are now having to travel to South Carolina for our second region. This is really playing with our budget this year because of extra expenses in travel. See everyone in Pittsburgh this weekend. :]

Think of the match cycle times though, and it's very interesting. 6 bots on the field, 6 waiting to go on the field, and 6 or 12 in the queue. You'll be taking your bot off the field and walking right back to the queue.

but it ended up OK for us, didn't it? :) Pittsburgh was tight.
Are there other regionals with right around 24--or less? For whoever didn't come to Pittsburgh and didn't know how this was handled, 7 alliances were chosen, and the first seed got a bye into semi-finals. Good job 395 and partners 1038 and rookie 1743!
Nice meeting everyone; I'm sure we'll keep bumping into each other.
