Re: 2014 Wisconsin Regional
WOW!! What a regional! This has to have been the best WI Regional ever. The teams were outstanding, the competition was fierce, the arena was just buzzing with energy and spirit, the volunteers were outstanding. Well Done Everyone!

Team 1675 UPS had a great time all weekend. Thanks everyone for the compliments and encouragement throughout the weekend. We typically do not have a great showing at our home regional (in terms of robot AND team) but everything clicked for us this weekend and it was a great way to celebrate our 10th anniversary at home.

Thanks to 2470 - Blitz Team and 192 - GRT for being outstanding partners in the finals. You guys were great to work with. We had the #1 seed beat, but alas, fouls sent us packing. Thanks for selecting us and giving us a chance, and especially thanks to 192 for spending so much time trying to help us get our release mechanism figured out. We've already ordered parts to make this a non-issue in Chicago.

Special shout out to 2202 B'EAST Robotics. I got to know this team a little bit in the fall and they reminded me so much of our team and the progression they've made over their 7 years. Congrats on the win and earning a spot in St. Louis and congratulations to Richard for the WFA!!! You truly deserve it!!

Finally, HUGE congrats to 1732 - Hilltopper Robotics for an amazing run in the finals - I can't think of a better way to honor Drew. The video tribute on Saturday morning moved me to tears and your robot tribute capturing Gold was a fitting end to the day
