2012 New York City Regional

[jwfoss]

Congratulations to:
1635, 522, and our friends on 125 for using the unique combination of their robots designs to repeatably get the triple balance, ultimately resulting in the regional win.

333, 369, and our friends on 195 for making it to the finals after a long weekend of fixing and tuning in your machines.

The Aluminum Falcons could not have been happier with our performance in Qualification 8-0-0 and #1 seed with some good co-op balancing and offensive work. "Fat Swan" was running solid and required little to no repairs, and was connecting to the field quickly and for the entire match. We would like to thank everyone who played with us, and choose to balance on the center bridge with us.

We would like to thank and apologize to our amazing alliance partners 1676 and 329. Communication issues with the field (which I believe 1676 also suffered from), really took the wind out of our sails. After being eliminated in the semi-finals we spent the remaining time at NYC trouble shooting our robot, and are heading to CT with no clear solution. Without such problems we feel the results may have been significantly different. We wish you the best of luck the rest of your season.
