Congratulations everyone on an incredible Midwest regional! I was blown away by how strong this event was this year, the field was deeper here than it has been in years! Congrats to 1736, 2451, and 3352 on the win, you guys put together a great alliance. A few shout-outs:
-111 and 4241: It was amazing to work with such an excellent pair of teams. We did everything we could
and a special congrats to 4241 on their first-ever trip to champs!
-379: You guys definitely made the best of a terrible situation throughout all of quals. Please don't let the bad schedules skew your perspective on this event, I'd love to see you guys come back! Congratulations on winning Engineering Inspiration, and on having a great robot.
-5847: It has been a pleasure working with you throughout this season. You are, without a doubt, the most organized, most knowledgeable, and most promising rookie team I have ever seen. There is no doubt in my mind that you will continue your success in years to come.
-5934: Being able to see you guys learn and grow throughout this event was astounding. I hope our alums were helpful to you, and I'm excited to see you all next season!
-3695 and 101: two teams who were extremely under-appreciated. I was shocked to see the leaps and bounds of improvements both of these teams have made since 2015. 3695's high goal shot was beautiful, and their vision code was excellent, and 101's driver was a beast. I was genuinely surprised to see neither of these teams get picked for eliminations, they absolutely deserved a spot on the field this afternoon.
