Davis.

5 Quarterfinal matches between the #1 and #8 alliances. Two bots tipped over in the first match. One attempted to be tipped over in every match after that. Ringers on flags being taken off by teammates, and some really cool lifts by 997.

'Nuff said.

It would have made for a very intense final.

then a semi final round went to the third round. one alliance got both bots on the ramps last second to squeak out a win the crowd jumps in the stands. match ends and the ramps fall down and the other alliance wins and the whole arena becomes practicaly defining from the roars.

by far the best regional I have ever been too.
I thought we tied the following two matches then won two times. Or maybe I was just too shocked to remember.

Yeah, imaging being on the alliance team of the number 1 seed and having your ramp robot, that has never been tipped before, on its side seconds into the competition. Then having a ring stuck to the flag pole of your best scorer. After spending half a minute to take off the ring of the best scorer, the best scorer gets tipped over too!!! One minute into the match, you are completely shocked. The 8th seed had just punched you in the face and you are dumbfounded. You then try to fight your way back. But then the other team fight you back just as hard, keep matching your score. It was insanely intense for us the drive team if not for the crowd.

Oh man. 997 and 100 got knocked over, and I swear, everybody in the crowd lost their freaking mind (including all of 675). It was less a "punch" and more a "wrecking ball".

You guys did great, though.

Amazing regional.

And those two quarterfinal Davis ties were high scoring, too. First 63-63, and then 91-91.

I believe the order was:
8th alliance win
Tie 63 - 63
1st alliance win
Tie 92 - 92
1st alliance win

And we (team 100) managed to hang a keeper in that final round!:D

out of the ones in the southeast UCF, Peachtree, and Palmetto I attended all three

palmetto was by far the most exciting, though on the webcast it seems as if those guys from jersey have a great time....

Because I only went to one regional which was Boston, i have to say the last match of Boston was amazing. One reason could be that my team was in it, another reason was in the last seconds team 69 has their ramps down and then team 125 got up with 0 time on the clock. I know that this might not have been the most exciting regional but it was the third match in the final and came down to the wire.

Out of all the regionals i went to and all the regionals i viewed online.. i have to say Buckeye was the most intense and the most energetic regional..

I have to agree, Buckeye was VERY intense - especially the eliminations!

That keeper was great! It gave us a head start and much-needed confidence. We did pull through on the last match with a score of 128 to 64.:D

At Palmetto the #1 alliance outscored the #8 in the first elimnation round 240-0 including 8 ringers on the second spider leg in the first 90 seconds. That alliance (without a ramp-bot) made it all the way to the finals, but lost in the 3rd final round.

All the bots at Palmetto were competitive. Weonly had 3 no-shows through 75 matches. Everyone won somematches and only two teams had only 2 wins.

But I would have to agree that going 5 rounds in the finals woudl be the most exciting ending. Whatever regional that was must have been awesome.

detroit was by far the most intense if u saw that regional u were on the edge of your seat that was defense in its purest form i just wish they had videos of that regional

I attended four regionals this year and watched another, and I would have to say West Michigan was the best I saw. Each match in the elimination rounds was a battle. The scores were so close and the teams were so good. I think six of the eight alliances that competed probably could have won any other regional (Except GTR). While it was not the highest scoring, the quality of teams were probably as good if not better than any other regional. WildStang was the sixth pick, when does that happen. These teams were all great and very competitive. The next best I saw was Detroit. The defensive matches and parity of the alliances made it great to see.

Lone Star regional takes my vote. Some matches were decided by a penalty and the final elimination match only had 2 points difference between 1st and 2nd place.
