2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
This year looks like another great year for robotics in Minnesota.
Link to the official website of the regionals 61 teams are registered for 10,000 Lakes. 63 teams are registered for North Star. North Star welcomes WildStang to Minnesota this year. I hope to see you there! |
Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
Neat this year that Duluth was full BEFORE the twin events in the Twin Cities.
I wonder how many other states have competitions the exact same time just across the street from each other? Walk across the street during a long pit time and see another 60 robots and teams! Troy |
Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
Washington has two competitions in the same building together (the Seattle Olympic and Cascade Regionals). Each Regional only has 50 teams, but there is a huge, shared Pit area.

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
This will be 111's first time competing up north, to my knowledge.
Minneapolis truly is a great city. Despite Midwest and North Star taking up respective weekends of our district's spring break, it should be a great experience. See you all in March! |

If the team goes, this will be our fourth time up there I think. We went up for the rookie event to help out. Dottie and I are planning another event and it may turn out to be Duluth. Time will tell.

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
I'm definitely going to have to try to get a chance to get across the street at some point this year to see what Wildstang can do in person. We are looking forward to competing with everyone at 10000 Lakes though.

Note to all North Star competing teams if you require data for alliance selections
due to lack of a scouting team. Please feel free to ask me and I will gladly share our accumulated data. If there are any teams who have some questions or need some feedback for scouting feel free to talk to me at North Star. |

Attention any team attending 10,000 lakes:We recently had a member misplace our labview usb disk and are in desperate need of one to install it on a new computer we are getting before the competition. This is for the computer we are using as a driver station. Is there any that would be able to loan it to us? We need it ASAP! We also know our key so that wont be an issue. Thanks!

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
A big THANK YOU to all the teams at North Star. You all did a great job getting through inspection and helping those teams that needed it get ready for inspection. Tomorrow should be a great day!

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
What an awesome event! We won't forget it anytime soon, as we had Kinect working for 8 pt. autonomous and massive bridge balances. Thanks go to 2177 (Robettes), 2512 (Duluth East Daredevils), 111, 2225, 2220, and anyone else we may have missed for excellent double balances, and to every alliance partner for being excellent and easy to work with. Congratulations to 111, 2512, 4266 for an amazing show in the finals. The #2 alliance had an excellent autonomous program. And the #5 alliance, as the overwhelming crowd favorites, gave us the best matches of the day. I loved it all (and we seeded 20 places better than last year).
However I have one major concern about the northstar venue as a whole: While traffic flow has improved from last year with the addition of a walking lane in the front rows, one entrance only creates a needless traffic jam and makes some pits much less accessible. |
Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
On behalf of WildStang, I want to give a shout out to every team at the North Star regional. You all were very kind and were amazing to be around, I hope to see many of you in the future. I would like to also thank 2512 and 4226 for being such amazing alliance partners, very proud of 4226 doing so well especially at their first regional.
Another shout out to the the Number 1 alliance of 2883,3293, and 1816. You were a fantastic alliance. I am sad that things did not work out between us and 3293, but you guys were fantastic and I look forward to competing with you guys in future events. One last shout out to 1816, fantastic job at winning the Chairman's award. Your team really did deserve it and I wish you the best of luck at Championship. |

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
Hey 111, don't sweat it. Your Team was an inspiration and we look forward to competing with you in the future.
Thanks to all of the Teams and volunteers in the North Star Regional. A really big THANK YOU to our Alliance Partners 2883 and 1816. Our Alliance was very exciting and with a successful double balance, there would have been a third match in the finals. You can't ask for much more than that. I want to let my Team know how proud I am of them for their efforts this year. We really worked and played with heart and put together some amazing matches to win our first 13 matches at the Regional. Finishing 9-0 and at the Top of the Standings after the qualifying rounds was well beyond our expectations. You have set the bar very high for our future Teams. |
Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
The 525 Swartdogs would like to thank our alliance captain 3747 Chaotech and alliance partner 3081 RoboEagles for making a great team.
Also congratulations to 2538, 2530, and 2232. The finals matches were unbelievably close and could have gone either way. There were 102 total hybrid points scored between all the teams in the two matches! You were a great alliance. We'd like to send a huge Thank You to Susan Lawrence and Mark Lawrence along with all the volunteers who organize and conduct this event. Everything went well as usual. Congratulations to Gene Jasper for receiving the Woodie Flowers Regional Finalist Award. |

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
Team 3747 Chaotech would like to thank our great alliance partners, 525 Swartdogs and 3081 RoboEagles. We couldn't have asked for better partners. Your teams were filled with great students, mentors, and a couple of great robots. We are honored to have worked with you.
Speaking of great teams, we would like to thank teams 2530, 2538, and 2232. The finals matches were very exciting and we thank you for the great competition. (Your semi-final series has to be some of the best FRC matches to date!) 10,000 Lakes was a great experience for our team, the volunteers, other teams, and organizers were top notch. It truly is a pleasure to work with such a great group of people. Thank you all! |
Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
Team 2883 (F.R.E.D) Would like to extend a huge thank-you out to both 3293 and 1816 for allowing us to be apart of a great alliance that made it to the finals, your teams and mentors should be very proud of how great a job you have done.
I would also like to congratulate our team here in Warroad, through hard work and perseverance you have built and accomplished something you can be very proud of, nice work and we look forward to continued success. 1816 nice job on the chairman's award you are an inspiration and a shining example for all FRC teams in Minnesota. |
Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
@3747Mentor
We heard yesterday afternoon that you guys were on the winning alliance at 10,000 Lakes. On behalf of our entire team, the Daredevils, we would like to congratulate you guys on earning a spot at Championships two years in a row. We'll see you there. John |

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
We would like to extend our thanks to teams 2530 and 2538. You were amazing alliance partners, and we could not have been happier to get picked by you guys.
Congrats teams 525, 3747, and 3081 on the well deserved win. I would also personally like to thank team 525, you guys are a class act and we love competing with and against you every year. Your consistency year in and year out has helped raise the bar in our region and our regional is getting better and better every year because of it. I would also like to thank teams 2052, 3018, and 4021 for some of the most exciting FRC matches I have ever seen much less been a part of. It was a wonderful event, and our volunteers were amazing (as always). |
Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
John,
Congratulations to you as well! I didn't get a chance to see any of the action next door, but I heard it was quite a competition. You have a great group of students and mentors over there and I am very happy to hear that you did so well! We are very excited to be making the trip to St. Louis this year and look forward to seeing you there. Mike |
Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
On behalf of 3018, Nordic Storm, I'd like to thank 2052 and 4021 for being great alliance partners. We enjoyed working with you both! The semi final matches were a blast. Congrats to 2538, 2530 and 2232 for those competitive rounds - you earned those wins! And finally congrats to 525, 3747, and 3081 for winning the finals at 10,000 Lakes.
I would be remiss if I did not congratulate the kids on my team for their smooth teamwork and efficiency on rebuilding our shooter and debugging it on Thursday. Well done! Deb |
Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
We would like to congratulate 525, 3747 and 3081 (our sister school!) on the win yesterday! Also great job to 2538, 2530 and 2232 for getting to the final rounds!

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
Have matches at North Star been recorded and uploaded somewhere (TBA/Youtube)? And if so, is there a download link of them? I would like to make a montage of our team's work.

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
We'll be getting them on the blue alliance within the next week hopefully. We were arching the low res stream on Ustream in chunks; you may have to sift through them a little bit to find your particular match.

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
On behalf of 2052, I would like to echo Deb's comments in thanking 3018 and 4021 for a great alliance, and congratulate 2538, 2530 and 2232 on the very exciting and inspiring semi-finals matches. When the combined score is over 140 pts, you know Minnesota FIRST teams can compete with the best of 'em! A huge thank you to jvriezen of 2530 for posting the excellent videos! And of course, congratulations to all of the teams who competed at 10,000 Lakes, especially 525, 3747, and 3081 for the Finals win, and 3630 on Chairman's! Thanks to all of the event staff and volunteers, especially Mark Koors for his dedication in working through the communication issues and patience with all the teams whose emotions were running high.
The one drawback of our double-regional setup is that we don't get to see all of the greatness happening simultaneously across the street. It sounds like North Star was an exciting and inspiring event and I wish I could have witnessed it live. I'm really looking forward to the inaugural State Championships, which promise to be an excellent showcase of Minnesota's best! Katie Mentor, 2052 KnightKrawler |

When the combined score in the last finals match is 98, and there are no penalty or bridge points involved... I think a lot of other areas of the country are starting to take notice of what is happening up here! Congratulations to 525, 3747, and 3081 for the hard fought Finals win, and 3630 on Chairman's! And a big THANK YOU to 2538 and 2232 for being great alliance partners and for a very exciting Saturday afternoon!! |
Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
Once again my wife and I had a great time up north. Thank you all for the warm welcome and great competition. I have watched Minnesota growth over the years and find that the best rookies are coming from this part of the country. Thanks to all for a great weekend especially alliance partners 2512 and 4266 for a flawless finals. To 2883, 3293 and 1816 you guys are amazing, sorry we had to play against you. Good luck 1816 on your Chairman's bid in St. Louis.

Re: 2012 MN 10,000 Lakes | North Star Regionals
I want to echo Camren's post and say Thank You to everyone who was at the 10000 Lakes Regional. In particular, thanks go to our alliance partners 525 Swartdogs and 3747 Chaotech for having the faith in our team and robot to select us for the #2 alliance.
This was the first year that the team felt it had a chance to be selected in the draft, with the robot doing well in autonomous and bridge balancing. Who knew that we'd not only be selected, but end up teaming with two great partners to come out on top. Also a big thank you to all of the volunteers who helped put on the event, and the sponsors who fund the program. Steve |
