After three days of intense compitition at the Chesapeake Regional we ended up seeding 5th and ending up 3rd. I feel that this regional was very competative as well as fun. The venue was great and the competition was superbly run. I have to admit it was very nice to have everythig running ( NJ regional had the rank written down on paper at the end of the day). The eliminations were also very exciting. Especially 1405 and 16 getting 210pts.
So if you went to the regional post a reply and tell us what you thought of it. GO MORT!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() |

Thanks to all of the great teams that participated this past weekend. It was great to see over 100 points in almost every elimination match. My favorite moments were the 210 score, team 25's arm controls, team 1405's overall performance, and all of the teams helping out each other.
Speaking for the committee and the host, we can't wait to get started towards a 2005 event. If you have any thoughts for improvements, please send them my way. Thanks to all of the teams that stayed late to help us clean up and to all of the volunteers who make it possible. I'll see you either in Philly or Atlanta. Aaron |

Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...
Chesepeake was amazing. Everyone was doing everything they could to help out another team. Team 11 did spectacular and our matches had to be some of the most exciting there. Our two shoving matches with 25, the awesome battle with the "Fridge" and 222 made this trip worth while!

Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...
384 went to Chesapeake last year, and we loved it. It was a very well run and great regional. The food was good (if you left the academy and went somehwere within a walk of the place) and the naval students seemed very interested in the whole thing. We loved it and hope we can come next year, you know, when we have more money.

Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...
First off we would like to thank team 11 for giving us the oppurtunity to participate in the finals by picking us ... we had a blast ... it was great ... "that is what counts" - Mr. Finkel
The scale seemed to have issues with everyone ... we were over weight plus we had the first match of the day everyday ... so we missed all of our thursday matches and the first match on friday ... The judges didnt even let go like 2 ounces over ... so much for "... the judge's discretion ..." then it turned out we had major problems with our wheels on the carpet ... after a few matches the great Mr.Finkel came up with the idea to use pneumatics tubing with tie-raps in them and tie em around the wheels so they r like omni-wheels ... it helped a lot and we saw a few other teams using the Finkel invention ... Overall it was a great regional ... had a lot of fun ... we're going to the nyc regional to watch this weekend ... lets see how that goes ... |

Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...
The more and more i read about this comp. the more and more upset i get about missing it :-(.

You all put up great fights from what i have heard, and just being in first is something to be proud of, i have been in forst for 4 years and i grow to love it a bit more each year. See you all at Phill.

Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...
I think I had more fun last year. But then again Team 836 almost won it coming off a bad regional at VCU. This year was bad at VCU and Chesapeake. I guess the only positive thing for me was no one got sick. Oh well we have eight matches to prove ourselves.

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! |
