I have to say that Indiana and the Purdue folks throw a wonderful regional. I had a great time, all the teams were wonderful, the competition was fierce but everyone was friendly and gracious. Congratulations to the rookies who all brought some very good machines and great people.
The alliance of 1327, 45 and 461 were spectacular. All three teams worked so well together they were very hard to beat.
Thanks to all the help we had in the finals from our alliance partners 1024 and 876 and 1018 for that rush job to get 1024 back in the game with a replacement RC. 1024 has one of the fastest machines and the best auto mode I have seen this year. 876 has a great machine and super team. I hope you all survived the long bus trip home to North Dakota safely.
