I know its not cool to be egocentric, but here goes:
The Midwest IS WHERE ITS AT!!! LITERALLY In terms of robotics, the Midwest won at least two years in a row, one year with the winning alliance being made up ENTIRELY of Midwest teams
2003 (Houston, Texas): 469 (Las Guerrillas; Bloomfield Hills, MI), 111 (Wildstang; Schaumburg, IL) and 65 (The Huskie Brigade; Pontiac, MI)
2004 (Atlanta, Georgia): 71 (Team Hammond (aka Beatty); Hammond,
IN) , 494 (The Martians; Goodrich, MI), 435 (The Robodogs; Raleigh, NC) 2 of 3 were from the midwest.
2005 (Atlanta, Georgia): 461 (Westside Boiler Invasion; West Lafayette, IN), ???, ???
(the last one was just an egocentric prediction)
Anyways, now that I responded with all my egotism, I think its time to get that out and just say that there are great, strong regionals everywhere!
(as long as everywhere means Evanston, IL; Ypsilanti, MI; or Cleveland, OH)
