Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...
I had too much fun. This was our teams (1391) first event ever. We ended at 15th place with 4/2/1 (win/lose/tie). We were dissapointed when we didn't get to play in the finals because the team who wanted to partner with us had trouble remembering our number. We had gone to the refs, but they didn't let us switch in.
Anyways, it was big big fun and in a couple of days I will posting some video from it (mostly of our matches.) - Sharp |

Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...
Maryland was definately a crowd pleaser in the finals. I saw an awesome level of professionallism from all the students and mentors I talked to. As a VCU engineering student - I have to say that the quality of the chesapeake regional is up there among the best (like VCU ..since I am biased
) Also, I can't saw how impressed i was with 1405 ( i belive thats right) leading their alliance to victory as a rookie. That is an amazing feat for any team to pull off, and them being new and learning it all on the fly made it that much better!! Congrats to all! Gabe G. |

Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...
We here at 449 were very happy with this regional. The team was really excited starting friday when we jumped from 52nd place to 28th place after 2 rounds (first 2 rounds we didnt brake the chinup right, next 2 we did, and had scores 125-120, 185-70ish), all the way through the end of saturday, where we stayed hanging flawlessly.
We needed this win to get to Atlanta, so we'll see you all there! |

Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...
Being a senior on team 11, i have been to my fair share of F.I.R.S.T. events (8 regionals, and 3 Nationals to date), and I must say that this was the most exciting event I have had the privilage to partake in. All the team were excited and enthusiastic, and the matches were great (I still have no voice after those elimination matches, and not just the ones we were in). All in all I can only hope that the other regional we go to (Palmetto) will be half as exciting as the Chesapeake was.
TEAM 11!!! |

Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...
Chesapeake was a very-well run event, the food was good compared to other events, and the venue was beautiful. Anyone else enjoy the sunken ship just outside the gym?
I only have one complaint- their scale had some serious issues. We weighed in at 143 on thursday, lost 15 pounds in 90 minutes (down to 128.2), and promptly left the building (it was 7:55 by then) So we stroll in the next morning ready to get inspected, and they tell us we're overweight. This coupled with numerous software issues made it a rather dissapointing weekend for us. One last thing- Thank you Mike Wade and Pete Baltzell so much for setting up a practice field!! The field was amazing and helped so many teams throughout this event. |

awesome...just awesome...so glad we went to this one. as a rookie team, we were surprised that we did so well (at least for the first few rounds before experiencing technical difficulties). we were ranked 1st before lunch on friday! and we got so many complements on our robot [from people whose robots raped us] even though we thought it sucked (ie: falling autonomous mode, speed, control, design etc)
i especially enjoyed talking to other teams about their robots and their journey until ship date. i talked to many of the teams, rookie and vet, about their sacrifices, team members, money problems, robot problems, everything. it was just really interesting to meet a new and intriguing group of people all driven to do such difficult tasks like building a robot (that sounds pretty corny, but im sooo serious)..my whole team, all 13 of them (which was a joke sitting next to team 11's spirited 59879823478923 people haha), enjoyed watching all the incredible robots and competition at chesapeake. it was tough, but everyone of those rookie teams stood high under pressure. it was a lot of fun even though we weren't picked for the championship and i hope everyone else feels the way that we, team 1463 the TRANSFORMERS, did about Chesapeake Regionals!
