Teams that stood out:
237 (probably best overall robot)
103 (quick on the ground, and quick capping-bonus points for their pit)
1688 (probably best rookie team all day, don't cap, they dump tetras on the bottom)
57 (strong capper)
Autonomous is somewhat rare, but we'll see more of that tommorow, and nobody has gotten the vision tetras in autonomous, but several teams are in the hunt.
Organization of the regional is smooth and the handout about the penalty definitions and clarifications was really helpful. Props to the judges and organizers for that. The safety award seems to be going well and is a pretty intresting set up.
good job everyone!

Just to clarify the 110 pt penalty. It was actually 20 pts worth of penalties. John, the head referee marked down two lines on the score card under penalties box. The scorekeeper Josh read that as 11 instead of two tally marks, and assessed penalties as such.
On another note. I say by far the best team at the competition is 56. Everytime I would turn around they would be back at the human player loading station and a goal would be capped. I'm sensing that 56 and 237 are teaming up again to take home the NJ Regional Championship.
