2012 Lake Superior Regional - MN

[ehochstein]

The Lake Superior Regional is held at the Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center in Duluth, Minnesota. Last year was the event's inaugural with 41 teams competing. This year the venue is full with 66 teams competing from Illinois, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin.

So who is excited for the 2012 Lake Superior Regional!?!?!

Team 2470 will be staying at The Edgewater Resort & Waterpark. Will there be any other teams joining us in the waterpark this year? Last year we were pretty lonely!

[Aren Siekmeier]

I'm definitely excited to be at this stacked event with some outstanding outstate teams including 1625, 1714, 93, 2062, 2826, as well as many of the best from MN.

We are looking forward to the Lake Superior competition and meeting all the new teams. Should be exciting this year.

This is going to be a very competitive regional! Please pm me with links to pictures or videos of your team. I am going to try to find as many team's robots as possible.

Props to 2052 for having tons of pics on their website of other robots!

I am from Rookie Team 4228. Somebody on our team was told to bring "Bling" to share with other teams we are competing against as a sign of gracious professionalism - perhaps something with our name on it?

Any suggestions on what to bring? What are some things other teams have done?

Buttons are the default standard item, but pens or other trinkets are common as well.

[MisterG]

CORE 2062 is looking forward to making the trip to Duluth tomorrow.

We are staying at the Hampton on Canal Park Drive.

Looking forward to seeing a lot of you folks there!

My team, 4228 (iRobotics) from GFW+mncs is going up and staying at the Holiday Inn downtown.

Should be very fun and educational since this is our first competition ever...just not looking forward to getting up at 1:55 a.m. tomorrow morning

[ehochstein]

1 hour to the un-bagging... Good luck everyone! I look forward to seeing everyone's robot in person!

[ElvisMom]

Team 1625 is en route.

[ehochstein]

For anyone interested, the match schedule has been posted and can be found here.

The last match with the buzzer beater was amazing! Great work 2052, 2220, 2826, good luck in the finals.

[ElvisMom]

That buzzer beater included a three-point human player score!

[ElvisMom]

Must say that the Lake Superior Regional crew throws an awesome competition. The DECC has a great physical layout - concessions in the pits with tables and chairs, lots of room, bathrooms are plentiful. The music volume was nice through quals and they pumped up the volume for finals, with great tunes.

For the second year, or any year, great job. Thanks for a good time.
