The Buckeye Regional was amazing! After coming back to the hotel on Thursday I wasn't sure how the Buckeye Regional was going to be. I would like to thank all the FIRST volunteers, planning committee, both the FTA guy and IRI guy for fixing the field issues Thursday night, the referees, judges, and the game announcer and MC who made the Buckeye Regional fun and exciting! Congrats to team 1024 for being three time regional winners this year! Also I would like to thank them for picking us to be alliance partners in the finals. I would also like to thank teams 2048 and 1386 for helping us out in the finals. We couldn't have done it without you guys! Again thanks to everyone for making this regional possible and FUN! I would also like to thank the X-cats team 191 for being so gracious throughout the week and helping us out when we needed it. You guys are awesome!

As many of you watched I believe that it was Match 59 and Finals match #2 when our Robot had troubles and just stopped on the field. After match #59 we took a look at the problem. After looking over our entire robot we took another battery in and it worked perfectly. After doing more diagnostics we found out that the battery that was in our robot during match #59 had a bad cell. Then in Finals match #2 the same thing happened with a different battery. The cell went bad. We are not sure how this happened but are wondering if anyone has had similar issues or anything that they think could possibly be causing this problem. Thanks again to everyone for making this a memorable regional!
