2011 Arizona Regional

[TheOtherGuy]

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!
