How well did the regional competition help preparing?

After coming back from a regional competition, I feel that we learned a lot from the actual competition. And that prepared us a lot for the up coming competition.

So, just a general question to you all.

How well did the regional competition prepare you for up coming competition?

The regionals we've been to have prepared us very well for upcoming competitions. We've learned a lot at regionals. At KSC, we learned that a small ball manipulator is almost completely unnecessary, and that being just a limbo bot can still pay off. After the addition of a bridge knocker and some improved traction, we got 1st seed at Lone Star.

I think what we've learned from Lone Star is that consistently balancing 1 goal is a good way to get QPs, but you HAVE to be able to balance 2 goals to make it in the playoffs. Unfortunately, our robot isn't great at doing that yet, and the 3 other teams that could were seeded 2,3, and 4. D'oh. So hopefully with this valuable strategic knowledge, and experience, we'll do well at nationals.

Plus, being a regional champ and 1st seed is always good to have on a resume when you're trying to get picked for an alliance.

So Many Regional Champs, So few teams in Elims...

Just so folks don't set themselves up for too much disappointment, I think everyone should be clear on the numbers at EPCOT.

There are approximately 65 Regional Champs (excluding the double dippers like Buzz and Metal In Motion).

There are only 40 teams in the Elimination Rounds at EPCOT.

If FIRST does not expand the rounds by 1 more level, I predict that only 1/4 to 1/3 of the regional champs will even be playing in the Elims.

This is going to be a very bitter pill to swollow for many teams.
