The 2006 Peachtree Regional ended this afternoon and everything seemed to go smoothly. The matches were completed on time or even a little early. We had 45 total teams competing with teams 1057, 1414 & 1261 as the competition winners.

Dave Lavery did a fantastic job as the team announcer for each match. He even donned green plastic hair, a black cape and a colorful umbrella for a few of the team introductions (see the image galery).

Sir Charles, our fantastic match announcer did a great job again and today was also his birthday.

Oh yeah, team 1002 won the Peachtree Chairman's award for the 3rd straight year. We have a great group of hard working teachers, mentors & students.

what a great event, again! The Vex tourney was awesome on Thursday. The other five referees and I made it up on the ramp so I still want my doughnuts and/or steak dinner, pay up Dave :). Sir Charles still rocks, but for all that are wondering this year's catch phrase is "BOOYA" (he told me he didn't take it from Jim Cramer). 1261, what an impressive swerve drive, going from one ramp to the other in a few seconds while dodging a few robots and balls in your way....it was just impressive. can't wait for 2k7!

Re: 2006 Peachtree Regional
 
That 1261 end-to-end dash was the most impressive move I saw this weekend. With mere seconds remaining, 1261 was being pinned on top of the opposing alliance's ramp, got away and made an unbelievable mad dash across the field, somehow not tipping over on the way up his ramp. Anyone remember what match number that was?

And hey Cory, yeah we were ready for Chimera's deadly attack, you guys were awesome.

Re: 2006 Peachtree Regional
 
I was NOT disappointed by the robots at ALL!

Every team had something they could accomplish, and accomplish well, it was AW SOME. The team work and stargazing was incredible.

Cory - thanks for choosing us :D :D

Ihot, i think i owe some of you guys a few cookies? haha see you guys before championships maybe

That match was probably one of the most amazing displays of agile mobility I have seen in a FIRST competition. We were all convinced that 1261 had been hiding their talents up to that point, and finally decided to really show their capabilities. And when they did, was it ever impressive!

All of Team FRC116/FVC18 had a great time at the Peachtree regional - they know how to do it right in Duluth! It was a great competition, and a lot of fun.

Although I wish I had been able to give away the donuts, I guess that just leaves more for me...

We believe the mad dash happened in Match #50.

Congratulations to our alliance partners Team 1414 and Team 1057. 1414's autonomous and 1057's amazing defense were the keys to our success.

Andrew Y. 19-03-2006 23:23

Re: 2006 Peachtree Regional
 
that round was amazing

I must admit, you guys had an amazing alliance. Once you guys knew we could shoot, after holding it in all competition (aka fixing), 1057 played some really good defence on us. Their awsome pushing power was very very scary :ahh: :p Pushed our 6x6 up the ramp SIDEWAYS!
Good match! Lots of fun taking you guys on!


Mr. Lavery,
I would like to take some of those donuts off your hands. You can just bring them to the championships in Atlanta :D :D

dangerousdave 19-03-2006 23:57

Re: 2006 Peachtree Regional
 
OK team1261, if that mad dash was during match 50, that means that move gave your alliance the win in that match. Now the big question...Does anyone have a video of that match and final move they can post? I don't know if SOAP will have Peachtree videos or not this year.

Dave

Re: 2006 Peachtree Regional
 
The Ptree Regional was absolutely awesome this year. I am sad that it is over, but i have alot of great memories that will be with me always.

I really liked many of the robots. 1414 has come a long way since their first year. I only wish we had made it to the nationals. This season was my last before i graduate and i was really hoping to attend them at least once.

Does anybody have match videos from this regional?

Re: 2006 Peachtree Regional
 
My favorite part of the regionals, aside from watching the final rounds and barking at my teammates in the pit and on the field(:D), was collecting all those snazzy buttons from different teams. I'd love to repeat the past 4 days a couple of times. Some of those teams had some very interesting ways of showing their school spirit too, like Triple Strange (1533) had that superhero guy with the blue tights and silver cape, and another team had a wizard guy and someone dressed like an alligator.

Well, although we were a rookie team this year, I kinda felt that we could've done a bit better. There were always little things that messed us up, especially in that second round when somehow the two guys that were putting the robot on the field forgot to put the balls in. I was already stressed and that was just about my breaking point. Then near the end of the day, my alliance got a 25 point penalty and that was it for me. I went outside and sat on that bridge nearly in tears for about an hour. But all in all, with the stress, frustration and me almost shoving a foot-long screwdriver down the captain's trachea:rolleyes:, I had a really great time, and Jillian's was beyond awesome. I've never seen anything like it. And I learned how to socialize! I've always been so bad at that. Hah. :yikes:

By the way, thanks to the CircuitRunners for your help. Jeremy, if you're anywhere on CD and see this, Ms. Manuel says you rock:D

Re: 2006 Peachtree Regional
 
Yeah congratulations to 1414, 1251 and 1057. That was by far the hardest alliance we had to defend against the whole regional.

My dad brought our video camera for part of saturday, but I'm not sure if he was there for that match. I'll look through what he took and see if I can't find it and upload it somewhere for viewing.

Well, I haven't yet looked through my dad's footage, but after thinking about the timing of everything, I know he missed that match with our 'mad dash'. However, I'll still see about uploading what he did get for your collective viewing pleasure. :cool:

This year's Peachtree was great. Everything seemed to go so smoothly. We thank our alliance partners, 1414 and 1261, for such a great job AND FOR PICKING US!! Even the alliance selection was dramatic for us, being the LAST team picked but WOW, that put us with the #1 and #2 seeds!

All you teams are great and there were some awsome matches. As usual, the gracious professionalism was overflowing.

We hope to see most of you at the Championship!

sdcantrell56 22-03-2006 10:28

Re: 2006 Peachtree Regional
 
We want to thank 590 and 281 for helping us get as far as we did. Julie we were going to pick you but you were all ready taken. Maybe we can win it all next year.

Hi Guys n Gals,
To teams 1683 and 281, outstanding performance and great work! Team 590 thanks you for the opportunity to share a most delightful competition. Personally this was my second year at mentoring and I must say that I have never seem such amazing courtesy and gracious profesionalism. Once again the competitors have proven that there is still wonderous capabilities in the youth of our great country. By the way, Jillian's was totally fun! Congratulation to Teams 1057, 1414 & 1261. Remember theres always next year! May we meet again in 2007 and we wish you all the best ( look out Team 1002, we are looking to get the banner in 2007 lol). :) :) :)

Hey, every Chairman's hopeful team should think like that! Any team that wins the CA even repeat winners as we are honored to be, can't rest on what they did the previous year. You have to keep promoting robotics whether it be Lego, Vex or FRC, help start and support other new teams and many other things.

When another team wins the CA at the Peachtree, everyone will know what a fantastic job they must have done and we will congratulate them for their efforts.

Dave :)
