this post wins

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Yeah I won something, but seriously congrats to Team 190, 177 and 987 for winning it all and for prooving that Newton was the superior division. Team 573 had a blast and even though we didn't get to eliminations (if you can believe it) we had a great time. Can't wait to see what FIRST comes up with for next year. Plus the the whole DARPA thing was super cool! (Stanley Rocks!)

Both teams 190 and 987 were at Silicon Valley - proving one again we're the regional that leads to Einstein.

I am still shocked that 190, 987, and 177 pulled it off. I was rooting for pink (233), and also wanted to see BEATTY (71) get their 5th, but congrats to 177! Shocked! Never expected them to go that far.

On another note, the ref'ing at this year's Championship was absolute garbage. The calls were stupid. And again, I am shocked! I would not have thought this aspect of the competition would have been a problem.

Videos from Einstein are making their way onto The Blue Alliance Match Archive System, and video from all of the divisions will be added over the next two days. There's almost 500 matches to convert, so bear with us, but check out Einstein in the mean time!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I have to agree with you on this one Joel. From everything I saw, and all the complaints I'm hearing, I've never seen as bad an event. Each field had their own little quirks about matches, and each field really didn't seem to be running as most regionals did. There were tons of uncalled penalties. It was disgusting really.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Theres a team when they are introduced, they have this chopping warrior dance thing. Does anyone know their number cause I forgot. I'm trying to find a video of them doing that dance for a promo video of FIRST.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

It was a team from the great state of Hawaii!

Re: 2007 Championship
 

thanks alex. make me go search for it. haha

Re: 2007 Championship
 

Yes i was going to edit the post stating i have no clue what the team number was.

i got distra... oh butterfly.

Re: 2007 Championship
 

I belive that was Team 2024 from Hilo, HI

Re: 2007 Championship
 

This is certainly team 2024 from Hilo, HI, as Alex mentioned.

They are a fantastic group of people and one of my biggest regrets from this weekend was never having the chance to watch them compete on the field. Their war dance is, without a doubt, the best pre-match hype I've ever seen at a FIRST event.
