The rookies 2229 and 2253 who both won awards were amazing for rookie teams and I can't wait to see them next year. team 1712 was incredibly fast, I was told that was due to the AndyMark products, and they were just great at scoring. Teams 103 272 and 87 made up the #1 alliance and they were the 3 teams that all through the regional were always fast, high scoring and good at defense they put on a great show. 341 won the EI award and it couldn't have gone to a better team congratulations to them for an amazing robot and team.
Wayne Penn was once again great at getting the crowd excited and dancing and made the event one of the best I have been to.
There are many many more people and teams who made Philly a great regional and I hope that all of you come back, I will be back later to thank the ones I didn't here but I gotta get some rest  |
Yes, the Regional was great, but, then, it being my first FIRST, I'm not qualified to judge. The bots were amazing, with 103 and Daisy being incredibly fast.
Um, Kyle, small point, it's
Team 2053 TigerTronics, my group, not "2253", that won the Rookie All Star and Rookie Highest Seed. (Only clarifying so people can look us up if they want.) Your congrats are welcome, and I extend mine to everyone. And wasn't that Chuck84 just *amazing*? And the driver was *smart*, too, particularly that deliberate choice to incur the 30 point penalty to stop opponents from mounting their ramp.
Our driver took on both Daisy and 103 in elimination rounds, and we got an appreciation for how slippery they can be!
I also gotta say I have only admiration for Daisy's designers and pit crew. She lost her claw at one point, and it got remounted pronto.
