2011 New Jersey Regional

[Akash Rastogi]

So far 2016 and 1647 have VERY fast minibots, I haven't had the chance to see 25 yet.

25's got a decent minibot, but I've yet to see them deploy it yet.

Deployment seems to be more important than the speed of the minibot. Heck, we've got two (twins) sub 2 second minibots sitting on our table and can't get them to play nice with our deployment system.

2016 is firing on all cylinders. By the time they get to champs (aka drivers get a bit more practice) look out.

[Coach Tom]

2016's elegant design makes them agile, quick, and able to score with style and grace. I am looking forward to their next match on Saturday morning when they team with 1923 and 2180.

Also . . .
25 is much stronger than their W/L record would suggest. 1218 also impressed me a lot. Most teams seemed to get stronger as the day progressed and a lot more teams were finishing with a mini-bot.

It will be a great second day in NJ.

Random Matchplay rears its ugly head with a top-eight robot in 28th.
Not that 25 should really care, seeing as any team would definitely look to them for an alliance pick at some point. Provides for some drama at least.

I have a quick question for all teams participating at the New Jersey regional or at other regionals who are reading this post: While I know that I can view the live webcast of the matches tomorrow morning, have any teams posted videos of their qualification matches yet? Thanks.

How did 2016 pick up that red card? I didn't see anything obvious in the match feed. Does anyone have it on youtube/etc yet?

The judges said that they picked up a tube in the opposing alliance's lane.

From the webcast POV it looked like it was only partially in the lane. I thought it was a legal grab. And you mean referees not judges

Awww GRT (and our awesome alliance mates) got knocked out in the semis =(
Looks like our pneumatic system started breaking, and then no one got minibots up on our side... =.=

Still excited to see underdog Alliance#6 up against 2016 and company. Go go underdog!

EDIT: Aww, first match goes to the crazy amazing Pioneers and Monkey Wrenches and Panthers. Not entirely unexpected, really, they earned 1st Alliance.

EDIT2: Congrats to 2016, 1676, and 303, and a double to 2016 for Chairmans. Big thanks to 1676 for hosting the webcast--I wouldn't have been able to keep up without it.

Teams 303, 1676, and 2016 are your 2011 New Jersey Regional Champions.
Congrats to Panther Robotics, the Pascack Pioneers, and the Mighty Monkey Wrenches.
