Re: 2011 Arizona Regional

Congratulations to 842, 330, and 2662 on the win, to Fredi for the WFA, and to 2486 the CocoNuts for the RCA! This was a fantastic Arizona regional that ran very smoothly. The venue had its ups and downs, but it was in general a bit more exciting than the coliseum. The pits were arranged well as far as finding teams was concerned, the only really cramped time was during eliminations (that back hallway was not the best place for 24 teams!).

This year was my first as a volunteer, and it definitely gave me a perspective on how much effort goes into coordinating and running an event this large. As an inspector, I want to thank all the teams for getting their robots inspected at the earliest possible chance - we only had 7 teams left at the end of Thursday, 6 of which finished before 10 on Friday, which may be a new record!

Re: 2011 Arizona Regional

498 had fun. We had great partners in eliminations (3517 and 1013, thanks guys it was fun). The pits for eliminations were pretty poorly located in my opinion and the pits where too small and hot but otherwise the new location for the regional wasn't all that bad.


And as usual we have a laundry list of things to improve on as a team for next year.

Re: 2011 Arizona Regional

We had a lot of fun. The arena was a whole lot better then the cavernous arena last year. It was great being so close to the field.

842 - It was great watching you improve all throughout the event. Too bad you didn't get a chance to showcase the two tube autonomous.
2662 - It's hard to believe that the robot with the most consistent autonomous was still around as the last pick of the draft
60 - That was an amazing collision at the beginning of F-1. Good luck in Vegas and see you at the championships.

Re: 2011 Arizona Regional

Team 2662 RoboKrew would like to give a big thanks to Team 330 Beach 'Bot and Team 842 Falcon Robotics for selecting us to join their alliance. We were surprised and honored to compete with such outstanding teams. As Fredi said, this really is a catastrophic success! It's impossible to overstate what an impact this will have on our students. Somehow, someway, we will be in St Louis!

I think it'll be a bit easier than most teams have it with that travel voucher I bet that was a sweet surprise for all the teams that qualified for championships!

We always say at the beginning of the robot build season that if you just do one thing very well, you will be in the finals! You are proof of that. The other thing is SCOUTING, nobody likes to do it, buts its critical. Scouting has been our number one asset for three years now. We use wiimotes that are connected to a laptop to record all the robots actions on the field. After we have all that data we can sort teams by any of the criteria we want. We call it reverse game play, instead of you hitting a button and something happens, something happens and we hit a button.

Re: 2011 Arizona Regional

Team 2449 would like to thank all of the participant of the AZ regional for making it an awesome experience for our team, we had a ton of fun! We have struggled every year up to now and this year we were finally able to show our true potential, and had a great time doing it! I could not be more proud of my team! Teams 60 and 1165 thanks for the experience getting us to the finals, I know our students will remember that forever! I wish we were able to come through for you all in the end, as we tried hard to get our minibot and autonomous working right, as we knew, without it we would be dead in the water against 330, 842, and 2662! How could we compete with 3 Ubertubes and 2 minibots!! That was a great alliance! Congrats to everyone.

Also, I agree that the Regional at Hamilton is much nicer than the coliseum, we were worried, but it turned out great! The only glitch being the packing of all 24 teams down the dead end hall for quarterfinals. I specifically liked the environment at lunch of everyone eating together and the cozy feel of the audience to the field.

See you all next year!

Re: 2011 Arizona Regional

Here are all the pictures I took at the AZ regional:

https://picasaweb.google.com/allan.n7ujj/AZFIRSTRobotics2011#


There are 674 of them. I deal in quantity, not quality! Thank God for digital cameras.

You are welcome to use any that you wish for whatever purpose you want. Feel free to pass the link or pictures to anyone who might be interested.

The collection is 842centric, but there are hundreds of others besides the Falcons. I concentrated on the Hayden kids when we realized they had a good chance of winning their first (pun intended) robotics competition.

Re: 2011 Arizona Regional

Anyone have any good video or high quality action shots at the AZ regional? I have not been able to find any archives yet. We are posting what pictures we have on our web page, but we don't have many robot pictures. Thanks.

I have HD video of the matches that 842 played in on Saturday uploaded to youtube.

Re: 2011 Arizona Regional

One more great thing about the regional was the food. Great prices, short lines, plenty of choices, and if you didn't like the food, you were free to bring your own in.

Pits are in the hallways, it appears the numbering scheme alternates between lowest number, highest number, 2nd lowest number, 2nd highest number, etc. so rookies should all get a chance to chat with veteran teams nearby. The hallways are pretty large by my standards and as long as teams adhere to the rule of not having an excessive number of people in their pit traffic shouldn't be an issue (it looks like traffic will all be on one side of the halls with all the pits on the other side).

Regional is tomorrow! I hope everyone is excited, see you there (with my blue hair again)!
good luck
