Let me start out by saying this is one of the best Regionals I have ever attended. The teams, robots, announcers, judges, refs, and tech crew all did an amazing job this weekend. I think Purdue might have to find somewhere else to hold this regional on campus next year just because it was so awesome and amazing.

Congratulations to teams 71, 1024, and 269. You guys put up a great fight and made for some truly great competition.

Congrats 135, 876 and 93. Great robots, all of you. Especially 93 - these guys had the worst luck handed to them of ANY of the teams there. They went 1-9-0, last place 41/41 and were drafted and then went to the finals. This is why I love Midwest - teams scout, teams know how the robots do regardless of a team's record. Great job guys.

If only you guys could have seen the awards ceremony.. or did you? Was it webcasted as well? Spectacular, to see Blair raising out of the floor with a light show and smoke to greet the audience.

It really just reminded me of IRI - a lot of great teams with an Indiana feel to it. If you liked Boilermaker, come to IRI.
