Re: Pacific Northwest Regional in Portland, OR
We're baaaack! We (Team 948) just got back to Bellevue (Newport HS) from Portland. Here's my report: The field had a high rate of error, especially during the final round - If anyone was watching the webcast, you'll know that it took quite a long time (at least an hour?) to get down the last match. The robots wouldn't turn on during and after autonomous mode at least twice, and one robot even shorted the field and created a big cloud of smoke and the OI wires got all hot. Still, it was very exciting to watch. And team 1359 has a very stylish team. Teams 948, 997, and 1359 stayed at the Ramada Inn half a block away from the arena.

What does the caliber of competition at Portland look like compared to other competitions?
