Because 2789 and 2468 just won Alamo, they both open up wildcard spots for 3997 and 801.

Looks like all 6 bots in Oklahoma will qualify too.
1806, 1986 have previous regional wins
1540 won chairman's at Portland.

Wildcard is just awesome.

With the luck of 1772 there could be a wildcard spot at the Western Canadian Regional.

Also, since 79 and 379 already qualified, 2 slots were opened up at DC but only 4466 will use one. Which means 1 slot will be unused.

3476 just got a well deserved slot when 1538 won in Inland Empire.

[Nuttyman54]

4579 got a wildcard from 1983 at Seattle.

Talon Robotics 2502 and WE ROBOT 2705 both received wild cards at the 10,000 Lakes Regional.

Actually Team 116, our alliance partner, is taking the other one.

116 would have used the wild card spot, but 116 qualified for Championship based on the Engineering Inspiration Award they won immediately after the Wild Card announcement.

Hey, all,

A few questions about this list:

1. I checked the blue alliance website and the regional awards lists and saw that 4607 won an rookie all-star award (congrats!), how did they qualify a second time?

2. I saw that 1334 has an engineering inspiration award (congrats!), how did they qualify a second time?

Thanks for compiling this!

1288 and 1756 just earned wild card spots at the Crossroads Regional, courtesy of 234 and 868's win and 447's previous qualification.

2996 and 1410 just earned wild card spots at the Colorado Regional, courtesy of 701 and 2169's win.

4001 just earned a wild card spot at the Western Canadian Regional, courtesy of 1334's win.

4159 just earned a wild card spot at the Silicon Valley Regional, courtesy of 254 and 118's win. The other wild card spot went to waste, the first wasted spot of the season.

1899 and 3145 just earned wild card spots at the Spokane Regional, courtesy of 2471 and 1983's win.

4001 just earned a wildcard at Western Canada, courtesy of 1334's wildcard/EI last week.

Wildcards at play in Vegas too!

IIRC, 2403 qualifies for Champs either way, very cool since they only recently registered for Vegas after some hard fundraising about a week ago! Very happy for their team.
