What a great event! as a senior, this was my last official FIRST Regional Event. 1089 didnt have a chance to secure a spot at CMP's but we came into this regional hoping to win an automatic bid. unfortunately we came up a little bit short but what can you do? hopefully I'll be back next year with our team, and we can make a run in St. Louis
To our alliance partners 1598 and 116, amazing job in the eliminations! 1598 was ranked very highly on our list, and when i got onto the field for alliance selection as the 7th seed, i didnt have a very tough decision to make (they were the highest team left on my list!). the second pick we made was a lucky one. i was about to pick a different team (who got picked soon after, no worries), but at the last second saw 116 hadnt been crossed out. after asking 1598, I made the selection. having pit scouted 116 i was excited to work with them. 1598 you guys are awesome, we really rocked the QF's. 116, i loved the sound your arm made when it went up (so did half my team lol), and i think you guys were a total sleeper pick. i know you werent doing so well on friday morning, but by the end of the night you had me in awe. great job to all of you guys
Congrats to 2016, you guys represented jersey extremely well, and although you didnt win the even, you showed DC what Jersey FIRST is all about.
congrats to 233, 768, and 2377 on winning the event. 2 wins apiece now for PINK and 768, thats impressive!
congrats to everyone else who won an award haha, at this pace i would have an entire page for my one post!
on a more serious note, concerning the JVN thread about Pittsburgh (
here is the link), i heard something that sounded suspiciously like booing (booing and oohing sound similar), when 2016 declined 768. having known what it feels like to be booed for declining an alliance, i was so proud of 2016 for showing the people who booed why they declined.
