As a current mentor of FRC2168 (one of the developers of our posted scouting system) and an alumni mentor of FRC229 I could not be happier to see our scouting system work out so well. Congratulations to the alliance!
To FRC1626 - Apparently the 3rd time running with FRC229 was the charm; I am continually impressed with your team’s growth and determination. Your consistent minibot was a major factor in the alliances success.
To FRC229 - It about time Division by Zero took home a banner. After quite a few rough years I was thrilled to have been there to support you in your victory. You guys built a solid bot this year, I'm proud of all of you. Way to put together an excellent last year for Chuck!
To FRC375 - Despite robot communication errors you guys played some of the strongest defense at the regional, without you the alliance would not have made it so far. Get that gripper fixed and kick some butt in St. Louis.
To FRC329 - Congrats on the Chairman's Award and building a solid robot, good luck at Championships.
Comments on the Regional as a Whole:
I was surprised by the lack of understanding of the rules by both the teams and staff at this regional. I arrived to the regional late on Friday after work, spent some time walking around the pit and watching matches, the number of things missed in inspection was surprising. From bumpers with concave sections, minibot deployments that gave the minibot vertical energy, and finally the issues with alliance selection. I take pride in the fact that the teams I have been a part of always know the rules first.
Please teams, take the time to fully understand the rules, watch for updates and read the Q&A as often as possible.
