Re: Most Exciting Regional.

I can't say that I've watched all the regionals on video... that would take a while, and... really... as much as the camera crews try, a single video feed doesn't allow you to catch all the action.... and hardly any of the excitement.

So I'll make some observations about the two regionals I experienced first hand.

Toronto, as you might expect with it being a fifth weekend regional, was much more impressive than Portland, and matches throughout the qualifiers were much more exciting to watch.

The final match of the elimination rounds at Portland, however, where one robot tipped, then righted itself with just seconds remaining as it climbed a ramp will go down as a classic. The video shows some of it happening, but misses the crowd response as one alliance went from losing it all to winning it all in a few short seconds.
