I have attended three regionals this year (STL, DET, KPRC), watched one (SVR), and watched part of one (SD) and I would say Detroit was the most intense. Detroit is always one of the loudest regionals, and this year with 217, 27 and 47 all being in the finals I thought I might go deaf. Couple that with four of the most historic teams in FIRST (469, 217, 27, 47), the amazing hurdling that was going on (RUSH getting 6 in their second match, 217 getting 5 both times), 2 WFA winners coaching against each other, the Number 1 alliance showing a ton of GP taking a timeout so "217" could work on their robot. It was intense with 27 making one of the greatest last second plays I have ever seen and all six teams having some of the best driving I have seen this year. These matches were so hard fought the carpets were basically torn to shreds on both ends (I think we might need new carpet for WMR). This was one of the greatest matches I have ever seen, and all six teams should be commended for putting on an impressive show.
