Dallas Regional 2011

[Kevin Sevcik]

Whoops. Mea culpa. I'd forgotten that detail of the new rule. I think must operate under the assumption that there's no way an uninspected team would try to get on the field, or get past the queuers or everyone else looking out for that. Thanks for the double barrelled correction.

Are you going to http://www.dallasfirstvideo.com?
Once you're there, you have to actually hit the play button on the flash video and wait through a short ad.
If you're not seeing the flash video, you have an internet or browser problem. I'm using Google Chrome and it's working fine for me so you might try that, or updating Adobe Flash.

Dallas Regional was a lot of fun and very well run. I hope everyone has a chance to come and compete at the Dallas Regional sometime in your future. It is a great venue with great volunteers and easy access in and out of the event.

I'd like to give a special shout out to FRC 647, the Cyber Wolves - your dancing, energy, and spirit kept me smiling throughout the entire regional competition. Congratulations on a job well done. Also, thank you, FRC 3529, for the special button that your troop leader gave me. I look forward to seeing you guys at a Texas event next year!

Thanks to everyone for making the Dallas regional a success.
Some musings and reflections from 148's perspective:

Nice post, John. I will certainly make sure my "pneumatic students" read it! And it explains a couple of the match results.

You guys look terrific - and I have been supporting you with my votes in that thing you don't want your students looking at.

A week late but I wanted to let everyone else have a shot as I tend to be wordy.
Wow what a time! Thanks to team 148 for your faith in us as an alliance partner. Thanks also for looking over our robot, your suggestions were welcomed and greatly appreciated and the game play was a blast! Also thanks to 3037 for rounding out the alliance. Thanks for the part you played feeding tubes and taking on the rival teams. We win or lose as an alliance and you were there for us doing a tough job against worthy adversaries.
Thanks to the teams we played, 3005, 647, 3802...1817, 3507,3384,...2864, 3370, 2283...you all played with heart and determination and never did I think any round was going to be easy... and it never was.
It was great seeing the teams I've gotten to know over the years... The Warriors, the Cyberwolves, Purple Haze, P-51 Mustangs, Full Metal Jackets... It's always a pleasure to see you and interact at these competitions. You're an integral part of the FIRST community and just like with alliances, I feel we win or lose together and it's fun to have someone to cheer for between our own rounds. Let's do this again next year!

The Dallas event was a blast. We've enjoyed every single moment of it. Congrats to all contestants and especially winners.

Sorry for this being really late, but I just wanted to say thanks for everyone for the amazing time! I'm honestly absolutely astonished that we managed to do so well - we even beat 148 in our second match in the semifinals! (Yes, their robot was disabled for most of it. I think it's still a pretty remarkable feat - considering how badly they stomped us the 3 other times we faced them)

Everything went beautifully at Dallas, and I hope to see you all next year! Hopefully we can have a really top-tier robot next year, as it took a fair bit of luck for us to get that 7th seed! (Of course, without a bit of bad luck we would have gotten higher... I admit I regretted not getting that highest rookie seed. ONE SPOT!)

I remember that we had 1 game with ubotics in which red alliance did not show up at all. That was an interesting thing to see.
