That was an intense final match! I'm surprised ramps didn't play into strategy as much earlier on. Towards the end, it looked like everything was getting decided in the last 25 seconds... Anyhow, congrats to the winners!

As I have alway figured, ramps make all the difference. Congrats to the winners. That was an awesome finals.

Thanks to all the teams that supported us. Way to go Red Dragons! I was not able to make it to the Florida Regional due to my wife being pregnant, but watched the matched on the webcast! What a great job!
I talked to our team a little while ago...something I did not notice was that team 86 busted their transmission in the 1st finals match. The next two matches they sat back and just acted as the ramp (what a great ramp). Amazing job to them and our partners, 1251, for scoring ringers! See you and 86 at the Championship!

Congrats to the winning alliance :-D.

Especially to 1251, I'm very proud of you guys and was psyched when I found out you guys took another regional. Soooo proud of my tech tigers!!

That last semi final match was really close, with the #2 alliance pulling out the win 10-8 over 233, 180 and 1889.

EDIT: The 1902, 179, 386 [replacement for 108] alliance just won the first match 16-4.

Also does anyone know why the number four alliance is red instead of blue? I always thought that the higher seeded alliance was red...

we beat them in 2 on 3, because we missed the deadline to put in the sub by like 10 seconds.

Video from the Florida Regional will be on The Blue Alliance Match Archive System in a matter of minutes, just as soon as I can encode and upload it, thanks to SOAP.

I was completely surprised that my team, 1521, and 1270 took the regional at that last match. I never knew that we were going into the finals. It was intense and fun. Big thanks to everyone who makes the event possible and all of the teams that showed up and share Gracious Professionalism there. I am glad that Florida Regional's home feeling and welcoming hearts made the event a blast that will never be forgotten. Congrats to all the award winners and finalists! We will see you guys at the Championship! :D Take it easy and we all have a lot of things ahead of us beside the events including community services, and spreading FIRST.

Thank you,

Congratulation to 1270 - 86 - 1251!

You played a great game taking us down to the wire. We were lucky to be in the finals having to play with only two bots especially against the likes of 180 233 and 1889.

I feel honored that we made #2 seed and #2 in finals in one of the toughest regionals.

You guys had an amazing alliance, 1902 was such an amazing scorer, 179 played some amazing defense in the first 2 matches, and in the last match your offense was impressive. And finally 386, you guys gave us a run for it as well, your autonomous mode scared us a little bit. overall congrats to the #2 allaince, great job on everyones part.

First of all, many kudos to 1270, 86, and 1251!

The Florida Regional for 2007 will definitely be one of my most memorable regionals. We went from being seeded DEAD LAST to getting in the #6 seeded alliance (THANK YOU S.P.A.M.!) with another amazing robot (HAZE! (thats 1889, right? Tytus dont kill me if i got it wrong...)), and then making it to the semifinals.

Yeah, the radio issue was irritating... everyone on my team was genuinely thrilled about being able to replay quarterfinal #4.

SigmaC@TS, Children of the Swamp, Exploding Bacon, and Voltage, you all were an incredible alliance to go against... after you took us out we were rooting for you the whole time! Congratulations on getting so far, in the end it was really close and either of you could have won it.

And KRUNCH, congrats on getting Chairmans again. :)

I'd like to say, on behalf of Team Voltage, that our team had an EXCELLENT time at regionals this year! It was a privilege playing with 1902 and 179!

Even with 233's mechanical troubles, we hope you had a great time! You guys have a really good chance in Atlanta and we hope we can be allied with you!

Hope to see some of you in South Carolina and at Championships!

Congrats to 1251, 1270, and 86! This year's Florida Regional was definitely memorable.

I am proud of all the teams there, and of SPAM's aliance into the semifinals. It felt different to be choosing Pink, but with Haze, and the luck of replaying the first match, we were great.

Hopefully we can all reunite at the championships to form as strong of an alliance, minus the radio interference. :D

Once again, congratulations to all the teams, and I can't wait to see everyone in Atlanta!

To say that we were thrilled to be picked by S.P.A.M. is an understatement. Considering what we had demonstrated in the qualifying matches, we felt lucky to be picked at all, and then to get picked in the first round by one of the best teams in the competition---it was great. Thanks, guys, and we'll see you in Atlanta, and some of you in Vegas.

Actually, the choice was quite easy.

SPAM was looking for the best arm-only robot that was left to choose from. Watching your two qualifying matches on Friday showed us that you could do it.

After that, we were looking for a good defensive robot and we were very familiar with 1889's capabilities.

It was a blast having the chance to play with Pink, rather than against them. In all of my years with the team, I cannot recall ever having the opportuninty, either in qualifying or eliminations.

And it is always a blast to play with Gary and Tytus. What other mentors do you know who break dance during the elimination rounds?

A scene not likely to make it to the SOAP regional archives, I'm sure, unless it comes with a parental warning.

This was a very emotional event for me, after 9 years with SPAM and working with Ty on a new and growing team. I couldn't be prouder of my friends young and old. The winners, the losers (you're all winners ;) ), and everyone in between was gracious above and beyond expectations.

Thanks to SPAM for picking us - thankfully we got our radio problems fixed (after changing out the modem, cable AND RC control) or I would have been sick for letting you down. I'll echo Warren's sentiments about Pink - never got to team with you and always wanted to. I told my teammates before alliance selection that you would be picked even though you were ranked last, because you deserve it.

Congrats to George and EB - I already told you how I feel in my extended hug after the match; we probably should have ripped off some chest hair after that. To the champions - you have alot to be proud of for your performance and behavior.

And to Krunch - keep setting the standard. We'll keep trying to reach it.
