I know that I'm deaf from all the Thunderchickens on my left...

Major congrats to them, regional winners, WFA winners and Chairman's winners. I believe the phrase "could not ask for more" comes into play here!

Re: 2006 Detroit Regional
 

I know you didn't mean this to be wrong, but the Thunderchickens were one of the winners, and you should show some love for the Finalists too.

Too bad I didn't see you.

I'd like to say thanks to our alliance partners 217 and 1506. They were having a few problems throughout the day that was hurting their ranking, but we knew they could pull through and they did. They were definitely a great alliance partner, with their excellent shooting ability and autonomous. Also, 1506 played great defense on our opponents, blocking shots and pushing robots.

Our opponents were tough to beat; it was a shame 703 fell over right after autonomous in the first match.

Re: 2006 Detroit Regional
 

I will tell you that would have been a deciding factor, but what happened happened, so lets look into the future! I hope to pass the ball back at the Championships!

Beth,
You guys had a great robot, and the phrase "could not ask for more" definately came into play here!

Everybody, watch out for 469. These guys just blew me away.

Don't worry about us tipping over. Your whole alliance played wonderfully and you deserve the win. We wish you all luck at Nationals.

469 is always great
i remember the first time i saw them
in 2002
at GLR
they were so awesome
then we won with them in 2003
they made it to the finals in 04
they had some problems last year
but now
i think they could take it all again
it would be sweet if the 03 national champs teamed up
and did it again
(111, 469, 65)

it wouldn't break my heart
haha

Re: 2006 Detroit Regional
 

I think we would've done better if 703 hadn't flipped over after the autonomous in the first one.

It was definately a great event though, our programmers rock. When I feel like moving I'll go get the STAMP server out as well as my personal PC and upload a few vids.

Re: 2006 Detroit Regional
 

i was sick the whole time. was reallly bad on thursday but got progressivly better. but hopefully i didnt get anyone else sick...

Re: 2006 Detroit Regional
 

I was tired as hell from going thursday, working, going friday, working, getting home, going to a lan party and drinking like 3 xxl monsters, then not sleeping then going saturday and mostly sleeping.

if you want our scouting results and ranks, you can get them at

I'm taking login pridvliges away from everybody as nobody needs them anymore, and there is no reason to modify anything.

edit:
it's up and running, i took away all the input options.
If it's slow be patient, I have fat pipes but this pc is superold and has trouble running ubuntu with no gui.
The irc chat, while still being up, is not available via site as the java hurts too.

and if you look at the ranks, imo the best 3 bots were the ones that scored all the auto points via shooting.

Re: 2006 Detroit Regional
 

What team is the winner of the WFA on?
I saw Beth Sweet said 217 but I just want confirmation.
It isn't listed on the FIRST site.

Re: 2006 Detroit Regional
 

Yes, Ron A is with 217. What, you didn't believe Beth? :ahh:

Re: 2006 Detroit Regional
 

It wasn't on the FIRST site. I now learned that I should always trust Beth Sweet. :D
