Cool!

The real Mutombo is 86" tall, and I think his diameter above the 60" mark exceeds six inches. So he'd get G23 fouls, if he were somehow able to pass inspection as an Aerial Assist robot and appear in a match.

Did your swappable blocker pass inspection?

Sure did! Within the 6" cylinder all the way up and all our mechanisms + robot are at 119.4 lbs.

Congratulations to the winning alliance of 1501, 3284, and 4500. Team T.H.R.U.S.T. represents Indiana very well, and it will be good to see you guys in St. Louis again next month. Nice that a couple of local teams will be appearing in the big show as well. Your alliance put up some impressive numbers.

Does anyone have the awards info? FIRST site does not show it yet -- I am going to guess the final upload did not happen before packing up this afternoon.

Congrats to team 4500 on their second regional win. It's always nice to win on your home court. Pretty awesome for just a second year team.

See y'all in STL.

3284 earned a much deserved Chairman's award.
2978 earned the engineering inspiration award.
2408 earned the GP award.
2902 earned the Judges award.
1706 earned the engineering excellence.

Can't remember the rest right now, but thanks to every team out that helped our communication issues this week especially 2408 for the digital sidecar.

Wow, what a great weekend! The St. Louis regional really kicked it up a notch this year and the eliminations were all very competitive. Thanks to all the volunteers that had us running ahead of schedule on both days! Almost unheard of in my experience.

First off, I'd like to thank teams 4028 & 1329 for joining our alliance and being great alliance partners. I felt really good about our alliance and we were definitely clicking in that first QF match; unfortunately we couldn't pull off the win in the 2nd or 3rd. You guys both have great robots and I wish 4028 luck at Queen City & 1329 luck at Boilermaker next weekend! Watch out for both of these teams, they were stellar in their first event of this season.

Great job to the number 2 seeded alliance of 4256, 1985 & 4330. We knew we were in for a tough fight against you guys, but I was happy to see you go all the way to the finals.

A big shout out to the number 1 seed for taking home the gold, especially team 1501 THRUST. Way to represent Indiana! I can't wait to watch the footage on our 1 point qualification match loss to you guys in match 80, that was a nail biter.

1706 & 931 - you guys have some really stellar robots, great job this year. It was a lot of fun to be able to play with both of you in the qualification rounds.

Lastly, I'd just like to thank everyone for the kind words this weekend. We felt this was our strongest competition performance to date and hope to keep the momentum rolling for next year.

Awards-wise, just for the record, we took home the creativity award, partially due to the heavy use of 3D printed parts on our robot.

We are currently in possession of a backpack that was left in section 114..

If you (or a team mate) are missing one, contact us through the River City Robots webpage: rivercityrobots.org

Congrats to all the teams that played in the regional - we had a great time competing and working with the teams in St. Louis. Best of luck to those that will be at Championships!

We rookies had a great time and want to thank our mentor teams #1208 and #4246, alliance partners 3792 & 5176, and all the other welcoming and friendly squads. Unfortunately we came up against a great group of robots in the quarters and just couldn't press through.

We learned so much and had a blast doing it. We especially liked crowd pleasing truss catches
