We are are thankful for all the compliments we received for the two things we worked on the most this year (our defensive drive strategy and our imagery). We had not made it past the quarter finals at a regional since 2003 and after failing to make it into the alliance selections at our home regional(Granite State) we were ecstatic that we were recognized at a regional where we were foreigners. This was an extremely emotional regional for myself as I am most likely retiring as a mentor for the time being due to time commitment issues so I would also like to take this time to thank my team for going wild in the stands when I asked them to, and for my drivers, Rob and Drew, for being the best drivers our team has had in my 6 years on the team.

Thank you guys for playing awesome defense. We were so close to getting 88 78 and 1099 in the semi-finals. I think it came down to one tube, and we left it to go for the minibot. So close. I remember looking at our list of good defense bots during alliance selections, and luckily you guys hadn't been picked yet and we got our pick!

[Team Leader]

As Team Leader of FIRST Robotics Team 1099 "The DiscoTechs", I would like to thank our alliance partners, Team 88 and Team 78, for choosing us in the alliance selection. Our Team really enjoyed working with you guys and we hope to have the opportunity to work as an "Ultimate trio" again.

Secondly, all teams played very well this weekend. Especially team 1100, who went up against our alliance by themselves when their other partners lost communication.

Good job teams, I hope to see everyone back in Boston next year.
Good Luck to all in Saint Louis!

LOL.

Our minibot tried that by doing a back flip off the pole one match (after winning the race) but it landed on an ubertube and survived

Hey everyone,

The raw match recordings are now on our FTP and need to be chopped up into individual matches. If anyone has time to help out, email contact@thebluealliance.com and we'll get you set up.

We've also got other regionals that need cutting up, so anyone who can help out would be awesome.

And congrats to everyone on an amazing regional! Finals 2 was one of the most spectacular matches I've seen in my years of FIRST.
