I have attended the Wisconsin Regional three years now, finally being a driver this year, and it is safe to say that we have become one of the toughest regionals in first. Even with loosing elite teams like Wildstang, teams like 1714, 1716, 2826, 2481 (Great Alliance Partners In 2010), 2056, etc. continue to improve. Pretty soon the State of Wisconsin will become one giant powerhouse! The competition is fierce, and I wish our problems with our bot had been a little less prevalent. We had a great run with 3418 and 4143.
3418- You guys were amazing captains. All I can say is the amount talent on that team far exceeds many that I have seen. Every time I walked past your pit, at least 6 students were running test, trouble shooting, and fixing problems. I don't remember a single time when a mentor touched your robot(which was an excellent bot at that).
4143- It didn't even cross my mind that your team were rookies until closing ceremonies. A well organized/active team, a competitive bot, and knowledge seen in veteran teams truly defined your team as contenders for years to come.
I hope that 706 can work with both of you guys in the future. (St.Louis might be an option
)
Congrats to Wave, Delphi, and Cooney for a well deserved win.
As always 537 shined off the field as well as on. The Chairman's couldn't have been given to a better team.
p.s. Our triple balance with 2481 on the practice field may become a reality in a month
