Re: toughest regional in 2011?
i find it ironic that someone from winnovation is saying that... you guys aren't exactly low-par yourselves... your team seems to defy physics some years... only you would think of 6 wheel crab.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
How is it ironic? Admiration is universal, it does not exclude those who have achieved past success. Learning from the innovations of others is part of what makes FRC great, regardless of your own teams accomplishments or lack thereof.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
The 469 statement applies to the usual suspects who always make it to Einstein. Most of them don't say much of anything on CD they just build excellence and silently wait to deploy their creation on the unsuspecting masses come competition time when it's too late to do anything about it.

Quote:
In a field with a lot of depth like many that are being listed; San Diego, Midwest, Florida, MSC give you a better opportunity of being with strong alliance members, if you're a strong team yourself. Personally, I find it hardest to do well when you're a strong team in a field of weaker teams, since it's harder to get with another strong team, and usually if two strong teams get together they walk right through the eliminations unopposed. |

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
True that. L.A. 2008, 330 and 1717 made everyone else play for second place right from the get-go. L.A. 2010, the same two teams had to fight a lot harder, against the eventual World Champion team 294.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
Isn't that disproving his point though? That's an example of more powerhouse teams making a regional harder to win.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
It really depends on who's asking the question. I guess it's different depending on how good your machine and robot is.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
i have to agree that San Diego is going to be one of the top competitions in the world. 987 is going to have a world championship robot, considering they won in 2007, and 254 is going for a world championship win this year.
It going to be a tough competition. ![]() |

GTR BBQ/SAUCEs
East: BBQ: 38/36 = 1.05556 SAUCE: 33/36 = 0.91667 188: 4 Blue Banners (2 since 2005) 296: 3 Blue banners 467: 1 Blue banner (0 since 2005) 886: 0 907: 0 919: 0 1006: 3 Blue banners (2 since 2005) 1009: 0 (returning after a FIVE YEAR hiatus)! 1075: 0 1114: 21 Blue banners (20 since 2005) 1241: 2 Blue banners 1246: 0 1404: 0 1482: 0 1503: 3 Blue banners (all from 2006, w/1114) 1514: 0 1815: 0 2198: 0 2200: 0 2609: 1 Blue banner 2625: 0 2626: 0 2670: 0 3040: 0 3117: 0 3360: 0 3379: 0 3386: 0 3527: 0 (rookie) 3530: 0 (rookie) 3532: 0 (rookie) 3544: 0 (rookie) 3560: 0 (rookie) 3563: 0 (rookie) 3698: 0 (rookie) 3705: 0 (rookie) West: BBQ: 23/36 = 0.63889 SAUCE: 19/36 = 0.52778 610: 2 Blue banners (0 since 2005) 771: 2 Blue Banners (not 3 as frclinks.com/t/771 might suggest - Thanks Karthik!) 772: 0 781: 1 Blue banner (0 since 2005) 854: 0 865: 2 Blue banners (1 since 2005) 1053: 0 1219: 0 1221: 0 1305: 4 Blue banners 1310: 0 1325: 0 1334: 0 1547: 3 Blue banners 1835: 0 1846: 0 2056: 9 Blue banners 2076: 0 2386: 0 2634: 0 2809: 0 2852: 0 2935: 0 3161: 0 3382: 0 3387: 0 3531: 0 (rookie) 3533: 0 (rookie) 3541: 0 (rookie) 3543: 0 (rookie) 3550: 0 (rookie) 3571: 0 (rookie) 3590: 0 (rookie) 3664: 0 (rookie) 3710: 0 (rookie) 3739: 0 (rookie) with a combined 18 rookies making up 25% of the field, this should be interesting. According to BBQ and SAUCE, the EAST should be the harder of the two halves, but once again, 1114 accounts for more than half the BBQ and nearly 2/3rds of the SAUCE. And in case you were wondering: Combined GTR: BBQ: 61/72 = 0.84722 SAUCE: 52/72 = 0.72222 EDIT: a side note: it seems to me there a significant number of vets missing here. 2505 comes to mind right off the bat.

Re: toughest regional in 2011?
Too much hyping of your own regional going on in here.
