I'd like to thank teams 71 and 2151 for playing with us. I have to say, both us and Beatty improved drastically during eliminations, and we played very hard.
Seeing 71 on our alliance is normally unheard of, yet we always have a great run when we're together. 2151, thanks for letting us attach to you and for being able to feed us in autonomous, which was crucial.

If there's anyone I'm happy to lose to, it's gotta be Bomb Squad and the Robowranglers. Congratulations to the winning alliance of 16, 148, and 2022.
16 was by far the best team there, and really deserved their undefeated streak at UIC. 148 meshed flawlessly with their strategy, shooting rapid 2 pointers to complement 16's catapult. 2022 was a great 3rd pick, as they were able to balance, and I even saw them score in hybrid.

This was the most fun Midwest regional that I've ever been to, and probably the most exciting (and stacked) finals matches I've seen at the regional level. If anyone didn't watch the webcast or in person, they really missed out.
