2011 Troy District

I'm really looking forward to watching this district. There is a good mix of teams attending and some of the qualifying matches are bound to be, "must see's". This will be the 3rd event for 7 of the teams and the 4th event for 3 of the teams. Question- Are any of the teams attending not recieving ranking points toward states?

Re: 2011 Troy District

State points are only allotted to teams in their first 2 events.

Re: 2011 Troy District

I understand that, but the 3 teams that this will be their 4th event went out of state twice, so this wil be their 2nd district. Just wondering if they had to bring in any filler teams for this event.

Re: 2011 Troy District

3 teams went out of state twice?

From my weak recollection:

217 and 245 each went out of state for one event and this will be the second district for both so they will get points.

503 has had two districts already so no points...

Who else?

Re: 2011 Troy District

216, 244, and 288 were in Waterloo last week and I know that was their 2nd regional event. This is the second district for all of them.

Correct, they also went to Wisconsin. That's a lot of money for one high school!

Re: 2011 Troy District

This will be 2337's third district as well. We're excited to compete with some of Michigan"s best! Like Kettering and Ann Arbor, we'll be InstaUploading matches to the FiM youtube account, if there's open Wifi.

Re: 2011 Troy District

This will be 68's third event too. Both Ann Arbor and Waterford were minibot fails for us but we got it working finally! 1.5 seconds climb with deployment.

I'm really afraid of 33's autonomous though.

Re: 2011 Troy District

Troy will be the third Michigan district event for teams 68, 226, 440, 503, 903, 2337 and 2591. Even though it is the third event for teams 217 and 245, it is only their 2nd Michigan district. And as stated above, teams 244, 288 and 216 will be playing in their 4th event, but only their 2nd Michigan district. There are 9 rookie teams competing at Troy. Four of the seven 2011 Michigan District Chairman award winners will also be competing at Troy.

Should be a competitive and exciting event!

Re: 2011 Troy District

troy is by far the strongest competition. not only by being a week 5 competition, but as mentioned above, a lot of teams have had much "practice" in other events whether they are districts or regionals. i must say as well, many of the major michigan power houses are also there (as usual) and by the looks of it already, it seems as if there may be a perfect score of 158 during the finals. if not, deffinitely st states next week.

Re: 2011 Troy District

All I can say is Troy was a great warm up for States. The Fighting Pi had a blast. Thanks to our rookie mentee team (3539 - The Byting Bulldogs) for picking us. It seems the almost twins work well together! Also thanks 2586 for their help playing defense - you guys were amazing. I'm still shocked that you were available when the picks came to us. You play a hard hitting, but smart defense - you were the key to us making it to within a game of winning the whole thing.

Congratulations to 2337, 469, and 3548 on the win. Those were 3 hard fought matches, but in the end your triple ubertube auton was too much to overcome. Great job.

I also want to congratulate 33 on winning the Chairman's Award and 3539 on their Rookie All-Star Award.

Lastly, I want to point out another example of how great FIRST is and what sets it apart from other competitions. During the first match of the semifinals in which we were playing 217, we had some wierd communication problems where the robot was still commuicating with the field and we could see everything on the dashboard, but the robot would not respond to anything. We sat for the second half of the match not moving and got beat quite handily. While working with the FTA (sorry, I keep forgetting his name) to try to see if we lost any communication with the field, Paul Copioli (who was the part time game announcer at Troy) came to see what was wrong. He told me 217 had similar issues at FLR and I should go talk to Mike Copioli which I did. Despite the fact that we were opponents, Mike dropped what he was doing and came over to help us troubleshoot the problem. Although we didn't figure out for sure what caused it, we made it the rest of the day without any problems during matches. I just want to thank Mike for being gracious enough to come over and help out an opponent in the middle of the semifinals. Only in FIRST will you see that.

I'm very much looking forward to States - it's going to be some great competition there. This gets said every year, but with only 24 teams in eliminations, there will be some very good teams not playing on Saturday afternoon.

Re: 2011 Troy District

68 had a great run making it to the quarterfinals. Thanks to our partners 910 foley freeze and 3115 the robo-panthers. See you guys at states.

I'd also like to thank 33, 217, and 469 for honoring us by stealing our cheer

Is also like to thank the judges for picking us to receive the engineering inspiration award it is a great honor.

Re: 2011 Troy District

I was surprised at the way that the eliminations panned out. That #2 alliance seemed pretty dominant, so mad props to 1718, 3539, and 2586 for taking the Bees, Chickens, and Suspects down in those three VERY competitive matches. When that happened, a LOT of people from our alliance started to get nervous that another upset might have been on the way.

Thanks to 469 and 3548, though, for helping us weather the incredible onslaught that that blue alliance brought on. I don't think I've seen such competitive semifinals and finals matches in all of the competitions I've watched this season

I'm confused. What cheer did we steal?

Re: 2011 Troy District

That was a fantastic competition- we were stunned to have made it so far! Given the right circumstances, any of the top 3 alliances could have won, in my opinion. Congrats to 2337, 469, and 3548 on their victory after a fine competition. Also, congratulations to 217, 33, and 440 on an excellent competition. I cant wait to see everyone at states!
