I love the launch ramp style, it looks like once it's tuned it will just be dumping loads of balls in. I'm looking forward to seeing it in Milwaukee next weekend

I have it working on Madstream (madstream.team1323.com) -- the stream is coming through Microsoft Silverlight so that might be the problem if you don't have it or the newest version.

I cannot believe it but along with 1501 and 1756 we were the Boilermaker Regional Champions! Thanks to everyone on the forum who gave me help this season, we probably wouldn't have had a robot without you!

Re: 2012 - Boilermaker Regional

Congrats to everyone, the sound level and the enthusiasm in the armory was incredible. I bet we put Mackey Arena to shame.

I'd also like to thank 829 and 3559 for being great alliance partners. I'm not sure there's a more exciting way to lose, by 2 points to a triple balance!

Also 829, you definitely made LF look stupid .

Re: 2012 - Boilermaker Regional

On behalf of team 4272 Maverick Boiler Robotics, I'd like to thank teams 1732 and 292 for being such fantastic alliance partners. We had a great time playing with you and we look forward to seeing you on the field in the future.

Congratulations to our partner 1732 on the Regional Chairman's Award and to team 868 on the Engineering Inspiration.

This was a great BMR. See you all next year.

Re: 2012 - Boilermaker Regional

This was 1732's first time going to Boilermaker. We usually go to Midwest, but this year it's the same weekend as our home tournament, Wisconsin. A HUGE factor in our choosing Boilermaker was the high level of competition at this regional - you all certainly did not disappoint!

I'd like to thank our alliance partners, 4272 and 292. You guys definitely played out the strategy well, and it was awesome being part of a triple balance! Thanks for picking us. Congratulations to 1501, 4028, and 1756, they were close semifinal matches but your alliance was truly amazing.

I'd like to throw in a shout out to 3940 CyberTooth. I personally was inspired by your team - your rookie year, you not only had a very impressive robot, but you went to the finals and almost took the entire regional home. Congratulations on the Rookie Inspiration Award.

Additionally, thank you for the congratulations on RCA, our team is very excited

I hope our team makes it back to Boilermaker again!

Re: 2012 - Boilermaker Regional

Where do you start thanking after an event like this, there's too many people to thank?

I'll start with out alliance mates: 3559 such bad luck, you guys deserved so much better, you were fun to work with. 868 - when you see our two teams together it's hard to believe our high schools are such bitter rivals. I am so glad that doesn't carry over to FIRST because we love sitting with you and being your friends.

Thanks to our practice, trailer and scouting mates 1024. We are blessed that you guys are our neighbors and we couldn't have done as well without your help and support.

3940 - Your shooter design it truly what made our robot the success it was. Thanks for sharing it with us. I loved watching you guys play and improve every match. The folks at Queen City better watch out. The fling-a-pults are coming!

Thanks to all the volunteers who worked so hard to make this a perfect event. All I can say is flawless. Can you work on the weather next year please

Thanks to all the veteran teams that you see working hard on to make sure all the rookies we had at Boilermaker had a good experience. When I see all the different colored shirts working in other teams pits it make me very proud to be a Hoosier.

Congratulations to the Anderson family for being volunteer of the year. There were more than a few tears in the house when you guys won.

Congratulations to the winning allinace of 1501 - 4028 - 1756. What can you say 1501 it's about time, if we couldn't win we were glad it was you.

Congratulations to 1732 for the RCA, your video made it obvious why you deserved this award.

Congratulations to Jason Zelke for the Woodie Flowers Finalist Award. Your tireless work for FIRST in Indiana make us all stronger and better.

Marc brother we missed you.

Re: 2012 - Boilermaker Regional

Wow- what a regional. Personally, I was glad to see the competition step up from 2011, and back to where it was in 2010.

There's too thanks for me to count...

First off, congratulations to the Andersen family from 45. Art had touched us all, and we felt that the right award was given to the right people. RIP, Mr. Andersen.

RIP Mr. Marc Braum also, from 3176. They weren't picked for eliminations, but they were still a team to be proud of.

3947 and 3940 are two rookies that whole state is extremely proud of. Literally them alone carried the alliance all the way the finals, beating out the alliance of 3487-234-461 in breathtaking 3 matches. I think we're looking at several new powerhouses come a few years.... Huge shout-out to our mentees 3947. It was extremely fun getting to know you all, and inspiring to watch our little cowboys grow into fine Indiana Jones. We kind of wish we could've played together in the qualifications, but we loved playing against you all in the finals! We could've not been more proud of a team when you guys won the Rookie All-Star. We'll see and have fun with you all at St. Louis!!

3487-461-234 I felt kind of bad for you all when 3487 broke down. You guys had an incredibly well-rounded alliance, and would've been a force to reckon with in the finals.

1720-1024-1747 and 1732-292-4272 Both alliances scared us for a while. You guys definitely deserve some recognition in attempting the triple balance with wide bots.

And, of course, our wonderful partners....

4028 I'll be honest. I was a little reluctant about being able to complete the triple balance when 1756 picked you guys with the 2nd pick. Every single doubt I had disappeared when we completed the first stacking triple balance, and I was never more happier to be wrong. You guys have incredibly smart drivers, and I remember this well, because after we added a little help and practice (both before and during eliminations) to get onto our robot, you guys nailed each one perfectly. Your enthusiasm of cheering for all the teams (especially our alliance) was extremely infectious, and spread to the 1756 and 1501 crowd. We'll see you guys in St. Louis! (Jimmy, you better be proud of this team, because I am).

1756 Thank you SO much for taking a chance on us although we didn't have the best performance ever in qualifications. You do not know how much impact your robot had on the alliance. There were times that your top-hoop shooting pulled us out of situations that no amount of triple balancing could've saved. I had many members of the team come over and tell me that our robot was incredible and literally saved our alliance. I'd like the moment to say that we only offered the capability for triple balancing, and your robot (not ours) saved the alliance. You guys deserved to be the captains. Period. We had so much fun working with you all, and we'll see you at St. Louis!.

Once again, thank you 4028 and 1756 for bring 1501 their first blue banner ever! We can't thank you enough!

Shout-out to 234 for helping 4211 and 4234 get their robots together and working. 4211 was 8th overall, and became the number 7 seed.

Congratulations to 1732 for winning Chairman's, and 868 for Engineering Inspiration! There couldn't be two more deserving teams going to St. Louis!

Thank you to all the teams that attended, and making this regional probably one of the most exciting in FIRST!

Re: 2012 - Boilermaker Regional

Sounds like an exciting competition for all at the Boilermaker Regional!!
I am curious if 1501 bot with their "piggyback" game strategy worked for them in elimination rounds? Our team has the same concept idea but didn't attempt it at West Michigan Competition. It wasn't an ideal bot combination to try for it.
But we, as an alliance did win and played a very tough alliance that did succeed in a 3-bot balance (teams 1918, 85, and 910) in 2 out of the 3 final matches. These were the only two 3-bot balances at West Michigan and the crowded loved it!!!
