Re: 2009 Arizona Regional
 

Again I'm wondering if anyone has footage of the Awards ceremony in Arizona, if you do could you please post the link, Thanks!!

Re: 2009 Arizona Regional
 

Which one? Yesterday or today? (Though I rather suspect today's...)

Note: I do not have footage, but Youtube user frc1726 might... That's the N.E.R.D.S. team's account.

Edit: Not up yet.

BTW, if anyone knows what team the WFFA winner was on, could you post it here?

Enrique is with Sahuarita High School, team 2570. Great job, Enrique!

We did not tape the awards ceremony, unfortunately...I had enough tape to get all the qual matches we were in, plus all the elimination matches, but that was about it. I don't know if anyone captured the ustream webcast?

Anyways, it was fun, and we enjoyed working with all the teams there, and playing in the eliminations with our friends on39, and our new friends on 1165, thanks for the help! We continue to admire 842 for all they do (including being on the alliance with 1633 and 2128 that gave us our only loss). Thanks also to 69 for coming all that way from Massachusets, and the San Diego teams for showing so much spirit.

And a big Congrats! to the Coconuts for the Regional win! I'll have to find that picture of the bird...

We'll try to get some HQ video of the elimination matches up on our youtube some time today.

ABC15 ran a story on the regional; the link is here
The video is in the upper left.

Team 498 is once again doing our Regional DVDs, and I’m sure our super man Mr. Molnar recorded each days opening and closing ceremonies like before, but I’m not sure how soon we can get them uploaded. (We’ll find a list of who we all got contact info for these soon)

Congratulations to the winning Alliance and our Arizona Chairman’s Winner!

The students of rookie team 2840 thank everyone at the Arizona Regional for providing such a great learning experience. You have generously given us lots of great ideas to build a robotics program at our school, as well as plenty of great robot ideas for coming years. Thanks to everyone who lent us batteries for the elimination rounds, and to 1726 for some very exciting matches. Also a special thanks to 842 for inspiring us to enter in the first place. We look forward to participating next year.

The Arizona Regional was great this year, just like every year! As usual I had a great time!

And thank you to everyone who attended the regional for making it so great! Every team there was a great team with a great robot and I can't wait to come back next year.

Re: 2009 Arizona Regional
 

A lot of great pictures in there, thanks for everything your team does for Arizona.

Re: 2009 Arizona Regional
 

I am praying to the random no. gen. gods to please let us play one time on the same alliance.......... Congrats 1726! You guys Rock! We need to come visit you and talk about you guys taking over FTC and us helping you push for chairman's

Re: 2009 Arizona Regional
 

You guys are awesome and will me major contender in anything you do! Keep up the good works! See you at NURC!

Re: 2009 Arizona Regional
 

This was by far my favorite regional that I've ever attended. Lots of competitive teams, tons of spirit, and lots of great people. Having a robot that finally functioned properly for the entire regional was a big plus for us, too! Our team members put so much work into this years robot, and qualifying for Atlanta made it all worthwhile.

Eliminations were very exciting... losing our first quarterfinal match made the rest of our matches very nerve wracking! Congrats to 842, 1633, and 2128 for putting up such an amazing fight. Also, congrats to the number 3 alliance of 2102, 1828, and 991 for pulling off such an amazing win in the semis. When 69 and 2837 paired up and put on such a good show in the quarterfinals, I thought we would be dead in the finals. Seeing such a great alliance beaten in the semifinals made us even more worried!

Major thanks to 39 and 1165 for making a great alliance! It certainly was nice not having to play against 39 in the eliminations this time. :P

I can't wait for next year, Arizona seems to keep getting more competitive.

We have some pictures of the event up in our gallery: http://photos.project1726.org/thumbnails.php?album=36

Re: 2009 Arizona Regional
 

Regionals were amazing this year. It seemed to be a repeat of last year for us. We were picked last for an alliance yet again. Plus, we were allianced with team 39 for the second year in a row.

Teams 1726 and 39 were awesome teams to be allianced with.

I can't wait until next year. Hopefully it will be a three-peat.

Re: 2009 Arizona Regional
 

Team 60 thanks Team 2840 (PCDS) and Team 2839 (Team Daedelus) for having such faith in our team. Thank you so very much. We hope to see you next year.
We would like to congratulate our alliance partners from last year, teams 39 and 1165 for winning again with team 1726. Thank you for such great competition.

Re: 2009 Arizona Regional
 

Team 2102 had a fantastic time being really loud!

Huge thanks to 1828 and 991 for being great alliance partners. Additional thanks to 812, 2839, 2486, 1013, and 1726 for joining us in the noise-making, as of Friday, I thought it was going to be a quiet regional, luckily you all proved me wrong. Congratulations to 1726, 39, and 1165, you guys deserved it! Last but definitely not least, congrats to 2486 for the well-deserved RCA!

We hope to see you all again next year (providing we can make it out to Phoenix again) and have a great time in Atlanta and the off-season!

Re: 2009 Arizona Regional
 

The CocoNuts team 2486 LOVED cheering with 2102 and 812 at both the Arizona Regional and the San Diego Regional! We also hope to see you around next year!!!
