Less than one day to go! I'm really excited to see everyone there and all of their innovative solutions to this years game.

It starts today if you are one of the ones unpacking.

Re: 2011 Minnesota 10,000 Lake Regional
 

Very true, however I believe that our team, due to the schedule of the person transporting our robot has elected to unpack tomorrow. I hope those of you that are unpacking today are enjoying the experience. It is always enjoyable to see the initial unveiling of everyone's robots at an event.

171 has to be on any list. I expect them to get a working minibot for Northstar to go along with their fairly consistent uber auto and a logo a match from Wisconsin. The 5th alliance got a steal with 171 as their 3rd partner.

Hi Guys. Were Rookie Team 3883... Our Pits are next to 93. Today was a blast at Williams Arena. Had a chance to run 4 practice rounds and get the rules and process all figured out.

Great job to the teams at MN, there is no doubt that the competition is growing more and more fierce every year. There were some low matches, there were some ties, and there were some all out grudge matches :) (2518 vs 525 good win to 525). Either way the time was well spent today and the excitement is only going to rise! Good luck tomorrow everyone.

Re: 2011 Minnesota 10,000 Lake Regional
 

We are excited about how today went and can only look forward to seeing how things will play out in eliminations tomorrow, it's going to get intense.

Re: 2011 Minnesota 10,000 Lake Regional
 

2518 and 525 had their own "finals" of sorts... This weekend was a ton of fun for sure. The eliminations got really crazy! In all reality, I am addicted. Time to reply on the "You know when you have overdosed on first when..." :)

Huh... somehow there's a repeat thread of this, or this is the repeat thread. I suppose it doesn't really matter though...

Anyway, the link to the other thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=87362

Edit: After taking a quick look at the dates of the threads' original posts. The other thread was the original but I guess didn't get resurrected until recently? I don't know...

Re: 2011 Minnesota 10,000 Lake Regional
 

I was the original creator of the thread in preseason to welcome back some great competitors from out of state, and to usher in the new tradition (hopefully) of some new faces competing. I hope some of our newcomers had an enjoyable experience and will return in the future. When I finally noticed this thread it had already accumulated several posts and it had a different more pre-competition feel to it, so I did not feel it necessary to merge the two. I hope that explains everything.

Anyway great competition. I would like to thank our partners in the eliminations 2062, and 2545. We had a great time in the quarterfinals against a very strong alliance of 2518, 1714, and 3630.
Congrats 525, 967, and 3642. And a huge congratulations to 2500 for their chairman's award.

Thanks to all the teams in providing tough competition in true FIRST spirit at the 10,000 Lakes regional competition. Great work by all teams and especially a great crew of rookies. How does MN keep developing so many strong teams? Very exciting matches all the way to the end. A special thanks to Team 3276 for providing the webcast which kept me up to the minute on all the excitement as I had to watch from home.

Team 525 is grateful to Teams 967 and 3642 for completing a fabulous alliance to help carry us all the way through the finals. It was great to partner with another Iowa team and a great rookie team in 3642 and their coach Nate, a former Swartdog. I’ll be anxious to meet the rest of your team in St. Louis.

Great qualifying matches all weekend and tough eliminations all the way through. Sorry to have 2518 on the opposing side this time and I’m still not sure how we pulled the semis out against your tremendous alliance with 1714 and 3630—another amazing rookie. 2705, 2169, and 3765 made a formidable second seeded alliance and 3454 filled in admirably at the end. Congratulations to all.
