I agree, I was so glad to see 159 make it anyways even though we got slaughtered in the quarterfinals. Go Alpine!!!!!! woo-hoo!!!!

Teams 1636 (fixed typo!) and 555:
You guys did an awesome job in demonstrating a cooperative spirit!! You gave us the opportunity to do our job well and really stayed on top of your game. I have not seen any other group, such as I saw in our alliance, slow 3 minutes down the way we did. It was the persistence to get past the stalled bot in the second match that allowed us the opportunity to play a third.

I appreciate everyone's effort of course, but you guys brought us to Atlanta. Thank you!!

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

lol, you're welcome, that was a lot of fun. The endless pictures taken were even fun too. lol, at least I'm the not only one that goofs on team numbers.;) Come to think of it, those matches did seem longer than it usually is. Probably because so much was happening in those matches. oh it was the second match, sorry, I guess my mind was still racing when i was typing up about the matches. Plus I think I typed it up late at night. completely dehydrated and completely tired.

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

What a fun regional. I'm the driver of 1515 and I've got to say this has been the best competition I've been to. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone who's going to Atlanta. Great job and good luck in the national competition!

Also: Look for another episode of our tv show, MorTorq TV, at youtube.com/mortorqtv sometime this week. The episode is live from the 2007 Colorado regional!

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

It was lots of fun. 1339 went with all rookie members, unpolished code, inexperienced drivers, and a not so excellent robot, and we still managed to enjoy it. We probably wont do too much better next year because most of the team was seniors, but we'll try.

We were the team with the coolest looking robot. It had a ladder.

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

OH DUDE!!! I thought that was the coolest thing ever. I loved it!.

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

Don't sweat it! Due to our team's unique circumstances we have a completely new group of students every year, yet managed to come up with the right idea to be on the winning alliance.

My only regret is that out of 45 teams only 3 can win the competition. There were SO many great teams and great robots I wish all 45 teams were going to Atlanta! I am also very sorry for the 3 Montana teams that could not make it due to the weather. Keep your heads up and know that regardless of whether or not you were able to compete you did some great work, learned a lot of valuable lessons, and we look forward to seeing you next year.

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

That was a shame we were short 3 teams. Could have made a big difference on the regional. Could have added to the excitement too.

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

AHHH! That's so cool, really good footage. That really gets me excited for Champs even more now.:D :cool:


I almost forgot. Team 1636 would like to thank The S.H.A.R.C. Team for returning a poofball back to us. It was unexpected and unnecessary be really cool. It gave me a good laugh to see a poofball after a losing match since I was last year's driver too. Ah, the memories, and I can't wait for the new ones.

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

This was my last regional as a member of 555 (and the programmer), and I'm quite happy 'bout it. An awesomely-fun regional, to which a win was but icing.

I'm annoyed that we didn't get an auton lock in the final matches, but it took until that day to get the program fully functional (such bugs and other nasties I've never seen), and I'm comfortably satisfied with it. Also justified the Innovation in Control award to have a few caps :D.

Anyway, does anyone have video of the finals from the press feed or otherwise? Our Cowon DVR's battery died and I'd love a record for the team video.

Thanks to all you midwesterners.

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

GO BEEF!!!

anyways, yea our cowon died and we would really like footage of the second to last match (where we bashed 1636 off the ramp to get on), those were some intense moments. Good job everyone!

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

GO BEEF!!!

Once again, great job to everyone and I look forward to seeing you all in Atlanta!

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

Our media guys videoed all the finals on our HD camcorder. It will take us a while to edit the raw footage. You can rest assured you guys on 555 and 1636 will be the first to get a copy. When you guys on 555 pushed 1636 out of the way to ramp was definetly one of the most exciting moments of the competition. We're looking forward to seeing all of you in Atlanta.

Re: 2007 Colorado Regional
 

Ok here it is second to last match Team 555 saves the day enjoy..
