Re: Website that has video's from every match

Re: 2009 IRI (Indiana Robotics Invitational)
It seems as though 1625 is making themselves a permanent fixture in the IRI finals recently. A divisional, if not championship, victory is long overdue for them at this point. And of course, is this...

Re: pic: Team 237 NYC Winner
What distinction did NYC have to make it a "Mega-Regional" this year? Did it feature a second playing field, like the GTR super-regional used to have?
