Actually, it was 340 and us who placed minibots at the end of the elim matches in Chesapeake, while 88 kept on scoring. And lucky we were able to get it onto and up the pole each time!

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

WOW, Philly is looking like it will promise some great competition. However, this does not surprise me. I have been trying to convince 836 to go there for a few years now. Maybe next year it will happen?

Anyways, just a couple of quick shout outs to teams 103, 341, and 365.

I really wish I could watch the Regional, but will be attending Virginia with team 401.

Good luck to all!

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

Wow, thanks for the shout-out! We learned a heck of a lot at Finger Lakes. (Including that it's really hard to beat 2056, 1518 and 217 with both your partners and your arm broken.)

1640's coming to Philly with a more robust arm, a 1.5sec minibot on a 12" swivel camera-aimed deployer, and a well-tested autonomous for all 6 top row pegs. Hope to live up to the shout-out and looking forward to playing with everyone again! Definitely a deep field this year.

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

I too have been looking into 1640 for the past two years. I love the progress. The robot is impressive as well.

See you guys on Saturday! (maybe Thursday)

395 – 2Train Robotics is one of the few Regional Winners in this field. Expect them to do some big things, but I’m curious to see if they’ll fair as well as they did in New York City.

Xcellent predictions and observations. Thank you for them.

As an FYI, Team 1517 is planning to webcast the Philadelphia Regional.

We're really looking forward to seeing everyone at the event!

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

To be honest, it's EXTREMELY Difficult to beat 2056 under any circumstances - their regional record backs this up. :D

1517 is awesome. Thank you so much for doing this.

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

After meeting your team at Chesapeake last, we were excited to see your team coming to Philly this year. Now you are webcasting the event your first time at Philly, that is simply amazing. Thank you very much, see you tomorrow.

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

Just kidding. 217 and 1126 aren't any picnic either! :) They did an EPIC job at Finger Lakes and there was never much doubt about the outcome.* We were just glad to play against them! Great teams.

*That red card though...

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

Just giving a quick shout out to team 1712 (Dawgma). I'll be rooting for you guys all the way from Michigan! Good luck!

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

STORM 2729 wishes everyone the best of luck at the Philly Regional! Come visit our pit to learn more about our team, it's the giant orange tent right where you enter the field!

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

Anyone have a direct link to a UStream by chance? Firewalls like to prevent me from rooting for all of my friends

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

I searched on ustream for philadelphia and found the link: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/first-team-1517

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

Really enjoying the regional so far, lots of good teams. It doesn't hurt that 272 is doing really well. :)

Re: 2011 Philadelphia Regional
 

Honestly, tomorrow is going to be ridiculous with ranking and alliance selections. I don't even know how I am going to handle it.
