Re: New Central Illinois Regional Looking Good!

Here is my take on the venue as a spectator.

Lots if room for growth if they plan accordingly. Lots of space for more pits.
Lots of food choices around venue.
Hotel rooms are inexpensive compared to other sites.
Well run tournament.
Great crowd
Will need to add portable bathrooms in future. Very long lines for the one.
Having one exit door was a pain.
Should add a second concession.
There will not be enough bleacher seating if they add more teams in the future without adding more seats.

The finals
The final matches played out as I predicted. I have said all along that aggressive defense will become the norm.
To the drive coach of 171. It's hard to believe that tipping was accidental when it appeared your driver went in for the kill shot as the other robot was starting to flip. That was this man's observation. It looked deliberate. Fool me once but don't try to fool me three times.

Advantage Platteville! The same head ref is usually in Milwaukee so if he doesn't change his opinion on the tipping, we'll all see it again.
