2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?
 

This regional is shaping up to be one of the toughest in the history of FIRST, with strong teams like any event that has two hall of fame teams, 13 regional victories in 2006 and 3 regional chairmans award winners is going to be one heck of a regional. Here is the teamlist http://www.usfirst.org/frc/map/index...mlist&event=GL

I see 254 is listed. Who's the other HOF team?

Jack, I direct your attention to GLR 1999...

Teams: 1, 16, 27, 33, 45, 47, 48, 49, 65, 66, 67, 68, 70, 71, 85, 111, 135, 188, 201, 217, 292, 308, 322

That's just off the top of my head. Also, remember that team numbers in 1999 maxed out in the mid 300's. With the amount of regionals that exist today, we won't see a field this deep ever again, barring some sort of weird scheduling coincidences.

67, The HOT team.

Thank you.

:yikes: wow, i would actually pay to go see that in a heart beat!

Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?
 

Not til the championship anyways (last years Newton was super crazy nasty).

Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?
 

I firmly believe that Great Lakes is the most competitive regional in the country, year in and year out. Looks like this year's GLR will be another one to remember!

Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?
 

Agreed!
(*scared stiff*)

Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?
 

GLR certainly looks to be the top regional so far this year, but there have been several better in the past. I would even dare to say that GTR 2006 was better (65, 217, 229, 296, 522, 610, 1114, 1305, 1503, 1680 etc.).
We're going to have to wait at least until all the teams have registered, and teams have registered for all their events, to decide which is the best this year. Also, UCF looks to be incredibly talented, with 34, 56, 69, 79, 86, 179, 180, 233, 245, 312, 1027, 1251, 1523, and 1902.

This years GTR the best ever? I don't know. The best one this year? Maybe. We will find out between 1-5pm on march 10th. But lets not forget about West Michigan's Regional. Even though there are still a lot of spots left, I think that WMR is a tough one too. With it being on the last weekend of regionals most people have there robot figured out by then and know exactly what they are going too do or try too do. But there is still a lot of time until we get the game, let alone get to the competitions.

That's Murderer's Row---literally! Everyone feared 56 at Chesapeakes last year (but apparently they didn't get much alliance luck) and 1027 had been strong when it attended. (But==who knows what could happen when 2nd-regional registration opens up.)

Let's see, if somebody started a Fantasy FIRST League and somebody managed get at least half of them, it would be easy money.

Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?
 

You can't get half of them. You're only allowed three teams- four at the most.

Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?
 

There have been leagues (especially pre-season and the smaller championship leagues) with 6+ teams per player.

Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?
 

254?

YESSSS!!!!!1!!!

Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?
 

I just personally like how one of the greatest regionals in the nation/world is like right at home. :D

Honestly, I cannot wait, but yet I can, for it is my senior year, thus my last year in for this gig. Its going to be a bit emotional in some cases, I'm going to miss it all once it is set and done. Yeah I'll come back during my college years just to watch, but I won't be a part of it though unless I mentor, but I doubt I'll have the time. We'll see...
