First, thanks to the planning committee and volunteers for an amazing event. Los Angeles is a massive regional and it was very well run and organized, making for a great experience!

Team 294 would like to thank our alliance partners 1717 and 5124. We had a great time playing with you! We always enjoy teaming with 1717, and our neighbour rookie team 5124 was a great partner as well. (Neighbour = less than a mile away!)

Thanks also to 330, 973, and 980 for making the finals so exciting.. it was a scrum out there! Amazing driving by all.

Congrats to 2576, Chilean Heart, on their Chairman's Award, and 3309 for receiving the Engineering Inspiration Award!

If anyone's curious about why we stopped moving in F2--it was due to a bad 120A breaker (tripped completely off without significant current flow). The same thing happened in Q109, we thought due to a hard hit causing an unintended manual breaker shutoff, but after it happened again in F2 we replaced the breaker (thank you FIRST spare parts desk!). We plan to do some testing of the old breaker back in our lab to confirm it was indeed the root cause.

So.... Anyone get a good pic of 1717's bot?

Glad you pulled it out. It was a close call on choosing you at IER.

We've had a similar problem, and a mentor on Citrus Circuits has written up several solutions. He should be posting it this week.

I got a semi decent pic from inside the pits.

So many banebots wheels.... Explains how they can use a wheeled shooter and not get 254 levels of backspin on the ball.

A mentor from our team (4201) uploaded all of our matches in HD - maybe what you're looking for is in here?

Team 696 has uploaded all of the matches except for the finals (so far). Their camera feed provides an excellent full-field view at good resolution. Hopefully, the last three matches are uploaded to complete the regional coverage.

What a terrific regional! Congrats to 294, 1717, and those fantastic rookies - 5124. As I'm told, this is 294's first Long Beach Regional win as well. So all the more congratulations to them.

A huge thank you to our alliance partners 2637 and 696. They both put on a spectacular show all through eliminations. It was an absolute privilege to drive alongside such a kind and enthusiastic group of people.

It was a great last regional for my student involvement in FRC.
