Congratulations to the Regional Champions: 4039, 3015, and 378; 4039 for their Regional Chairman's Award, as well as 3015 for their Engineering Inspiration Award

4039: You are by far one of my favorite teams in FIRST, with branding second to none and simple, but extremely effective robots year after year. Your program is an inspiration to anyone who encounters it. Good luck at the championship event!

3015: Your robots are always fantastic, but seem to come up short of a regional win every year. This time you finally got it, and watching you and 4039 make stacks on stacks from the 7 seed was incredible.

378: Congrats on your second consecutive Finger Lakes Regional Championship! Your can stealing ability was fantastic, and probably one of the many reasons your alliance came up 3 points ahead when it counted.

The finalist alliance of 5254, 340, and 174 was fantastic as well.

5254 is another one of my favorite teams, and watching you sit atop the rankings for the whole event after being a sleeper pick at TVR was awesome. Your consistency at putting up 2+ stacks every match was beautiful.
I think I speak for all of 20 when I say we're ecstatic we get to see you at the championship event this year!

340's robot is incredible this year. Their capping abilities with containers in multiple orientations allowed your alliance to sometimes make that elusive 5th high stack. Congratulations on your 2nd finals appearance in as many regionals.

174 was the perfect 3rd robot for the 1st seed because of their interesting ability to right fallen containers. Their container grabber from the center also came in clutch during their battles with 378.

20 unfortunately had some failures Saturday morning that tanked our average score in three consecutive matches, but we were happy to play on an interesting alliance with 578 and 3173. 578 and 3173 had quite the synergy with how they played their feeder and landfill game together that was cool to see. I think with a little more polish we could have done pretty well for ourselves.

Another exciting Finger Lakes Regional in the books. See you all next year!
