What a year for you guys!

Congratulations.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

You guys are awsome! I love the "school office decked out in FIRST" look, I think it fits you guys well. :D

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

That's a fantastic achievement 1024!
Congrats for a great job!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

great job guys, good luck in Atlanta.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

GREAT JOB 1024!!!

I wanted to thank you guys thinking of us (1001) when you were thinking of your picks.

It ment a lot coming from a great team like you!

I almost wish we would have lost some more rounds just so we were not so high ranked so you could have picked us...LOL;) But I am really glad you won! your robot was the best one & is showed when you won with no help from 1126 in the last round...

Good luck the rest Of this year!

I feel as if Beatty will be seeing some competition in a few years for the most championships won, this team deserves to win the big one!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Very nice indeed. Congrats on an awesome robot, its really great to see a team improve so much over 1 year. Hope to see you on Einstein. That would be awesome to watch.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

:yikes: Its a miracle how our team (2048) helped out! I can't believe we made it!
Congrats team 1024 you guys are AWESOME!! and congrats to 1126 and 1386 you guys are great!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

You are a worthy adversary. It was a great experience playing against you at Mid-West. I can't wait to see you guys in Atlanta.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

I haven't seen the matches, but even if 2048 deliberatly smashed 1024's robot, comments suggesting that a team didn't deserve a win are not a good idea here.

GP, everyone.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

It takes three robots to win a regional. Be polite and respectful to other teams, posts like this only hurt your image and your teams image.

Congratulations to 1024 on a very successful season.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Unfortunately, sorry doesn't cut it here. 2048 deserves their medals as much as any team on our alliance or any alliance.

That "1 time" you casually mention was critical. Our robot was stuck in the fence and we couldn't move. 2048 rammed us with perfect timing to get us free and continue to play the first round of the finals match. 2048's ramming was not an accident or a mistake, but a well executed strategic move.

Considering how our robot got damaged in the match after that (extreme collision), if we wouldn't have had them there to help us off the wall and we lost the first round of finals, we would have had to run the remaining two matches... that third match may have been too much for our machine in it's state.

Also, we had some close matches, and the points that 2048 made running those perfect, PENALTY FREE (great job girls!) runs around the track eeked our alliance further to the end.

2048 was definitely an alliance contributor.

Thanks again to 1126 and 1386 as well!

p.s. 1126/Sparx: What happened to you guys in the final final? I suddenly realized I never asked afterwards.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Wow...way to post that on a forum that gives you and your team an image (and a bad one right now at that). Keep that kind of stuff to yourself. All teams that participate work their hardest and like it was said, the ramming in that 1 round was useful to the alliance.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

What an incredible accomplishment. Our team has never done more than one regional, and I don't think we'd have the stamina to go to three regionals... and still be able to pull off three wins. I really wish my team could have played with (or even against) you guys- I'm looking forward to seeing you play in Atlanta. Congrats!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

strange.... your TBA badge says you were Semifinalists at Buckeye...:confused:

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

They haven't finished entering all the matches/scores for Buckeye yet.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Congrats on joining the three regional wins club, its quite a list: 47, 1114, 1503, and 1024.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

repeat post

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

2048 i am again so thankful that you were there for our alliance!!! I am sorry that we had to take 1386 out though. 1024 thank you guys so much for picking us and working with us, i will make sure to stop by in Atlanta! As an update the cell in our battery blew in the last match. The strange thing was, this had happened previously on friday.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Congrats to 1126, 1024, 2048 and 1386! You guys played a great regional. Good luck in Atlanta!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Best team of 08...1024 will be on Einstin no doubt.

Glad to hear 1126 took a victory.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

excellent post on your part qbranch

How I saw it was that 2048 did a lot more than run laps and push 1024 off the wall. They were the team that let the alliance move onto the finals by running the laps penalty free and doing as asked while 1126 and 1024 had issues. If you really think of it, they did a lot more and I am proud of those girls. They were actually the only robot on the alliance (i know it was a short time for them) that actually ran every match as intended without any issue. Early in the regional I was looking into a few teams for the third round, one of them was the 2048 girls. When i first heard that they were being bumped into the alliance, I got all excited. It was a intense elimination tournament and I could not have guessed how things would turn out on Thursday.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Good Lord. You can score hat tricks in FIRST!?!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Team 2048 you are the best! Normally teams slowly work
up to the finals and Wow you just suddenly were there
and you didn't panic but were REALLY COOL AND COLLECTED.
I enjoyed shaking all of your hands after we took the picture
together. I think you should know our Scouts had 2048 on our
pick list as a solid stable point maker with a guaranteed 4 point
Autonomous. You definitely had the right stuff.

Thanks for taking the advice of our team coach Marc on the
field and ramming us off that wall. I think we all saw what
happens in FIRST when multiple teams turn into an ALLIANCE!

I wish everyone continued success in their upcoming Regionals
and please stop by our pit at Nationals.

1126 sorry about your battery. As we all know anyone can
break:ahh: At Midwest we caught on fire and our Robot Controller
decided it might be a toaster oven control ( failed ) at Purdue.
(WE put the fire out in Chicago! ha-ha and changed the brain in Purdue.)
This proves that SMOKING CAN LEAD TO BRAIN DAMAGE.

Happy mentor from Kil-a- bytes.
P.S. did anyone notice that 2048 is the next of power of two up from 1024?

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

WOW

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Congratulations 1024! We loved being around you in ATL last year, and now I know why! What a dangerous team to mess with! Look out Beatty and all the big names!

Can't wait to see you guys in Atlanta. =)

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Excellent job 1024!!! This is a huge accomplishment! I saw your robot play on the webcasts. It is a great design! I really hope we can meet up in the same championship division!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Three in a row ,way to go!!!!!!! Do i hear FOUR? Hope to be able to play with or aginst your awsome bot hopefully with at IRI. GOOD LUCK at championships.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

we had one bad battery that couldn't deliver a current(it was at the full 13 volts, and the robot worked when it was on the cart, but it couldnt drive on the carpet), so we sharpied "bad" all over it and never used it again. unfortunately, we couldnt do anything in a few of our practice rounds cuz we used that one bad battery... we're thinking the plates inside got shattered or something.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Congratulations!!! Your team was amazing to work with in Midwest. After seeing how you performed there, it's no surprise to us that victories have kept coming.

See you in Atlanta.

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Congratulations!
That is a truly amazing thing to accomplish!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Congratulations on your win at Waterloo, Simbotics!

We at 1024 are all hoping we're in the same division as you all in Atlanta... it would be a pleasure to work with you all again.

Also, I'm just kind of putting this out there to see if there's interest, I thought it might be fun if all of the teams in our finals alliances got together for lunch or dinner one of the days in atlanta. Any takers?

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

That would be awesome!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Congrats on the three-peat!! I was watching the broadcast on SOAP and it's pretty impressive. See you guys in Atlanta!!

Re: pic: Three in a Row!
 

Congrats 1024!
It was a pleasure to be allied with you at Midwest and It was good to see your robot in action once more at Boilermaker. I wish you guys the best of luck in Atlanta.
