Re: 2006 Great Lakes Reigonal

Today was not a good day for me. It all started with our first match which we were considered off sides even though we were clearly onsides and right next to the ramp, seven or so teams come up to us and asked us about that and we really could only tell them that we were supposedly off sides. They offered video of the match but because of the rules no match would be disputed. We would have won that match too... Ill try and leave it behind me. But it didn't stop there. We were sooo off with scouting today. There were quite a few matches that went unscouted and the data we were getting was way off (like both alliances winning...). Not a very good day for me.

But overall I had allot of fun today watching the matches and seeing al of the robots and what they can do. There was a big difference from today and yesterday. Allot of teams that didn't do much yesterday came out of nowhere and were doing great. If there is one robot in this competition that can take it all, it has to be 1114. Although it is the same as 1503 and 1680, 1114 seems to have allot better drivers. As was said above they were able so score 106 in a match and then go and score 60 for their opponent. They knew what they were doing. Also 451 is a great team this year. They shoot from on top of the ramp and they do so very well. But allot of the lesser knowns are getting some much deserved attention and are actually over shadowing the well knowns.

It will be an interesting day tomorrow. I can't wait to see what’s going to happen!
