Everytime we travel out of state for a regional, we always bring the cold weather. Sorry

We always HAVE cold weather. It's something we're far too used to.

You call this cold? Plenty warm compared to February.

You didn't bring it, unless you showed up sometime in mid-November! This has been one heck of a winter, to be sure--though this weekend is showing signs of vaguely spring-like behavior.

Shhhhhh don't jinx it! (knocks on wood)

I'm one of those annoyingly scientific types who doesn't believe that one's internet comments will affect the weather.

Congratulations to the 2 alliances that made it to the finals. 5/6 robots are guaranteed to make it to Championships through winning FLR and through wildcard slots.

If Alliance #1 wins: 1507/378 earn through winning and 3015 earns through wild card

If Alliance #2 wins: 3015/3044 earn slots by winning and 1507 through wild card

I think you have an error there. 20 and 340 are the only teams that are already qualified for champs. So
If alliance #1 wins: There is one wildcard that would be passed to 3015.
If alliance #2 wins: There is one wildcard that would be passed to 1507.

3044 and 378 cannot make it to champs unless they are on the winning alliance

Sorry, you are correct. I had thought 1507 won Buckeye. My mistake.

Wow, that was a very impressive second finals match. Congratulations to 1507, 20, and 378 for racking up 260 points without any fouls. Also congrats to 20 for their second regional win of the season!

What a crazy event!

Thanks to Teams 1507 and 378 for one of the coolest alliances I've ever seen. The "statue" pass between you two was so incredibly consistent and the fact that it worked out so well is a testament to both of your robots.
1507, you missed one high goal in all of eliminations. Your robot is incredible and I'm so happy you're able to attend championships this year!

Congratulations to Team 1511 on your Chairman's Award! After seeing how fantastic your team is all-around, I'm excited to see how you perform at championships and in future years. I know I was inspired by your continued spirit and gracious professionalism.

Congratulations to the finalists- Teams 3015, 340, and 3044.
3015- I'm so happy you guys are able to go to championships at this point. Your robot is one of the cooler robots I've seen, and your catapult seems to never miss shots during autonomous.
340- I'm glad you got to play two matches against us in finals. Your robot is so good and in some matches on Friday you looked unstoppable! Your team is also extremely professional and gracious at all times!
3044- You guys built an awesome robot, but somehow flew under the radar to the second round again! I expect big and bright things from you in the coming years.

Speaking of up-and-comers at FLR, how about the Quality Award winners, team 2791, Shaker! You guys made a real comeback from TVR, showing off your skills in eliminations so much so that you got picked by Daisy! I hope we get to work with you guys next year. We'll finally get to #finishthejob together!

And speaking of Daisy, wow did 341 have an awesome robot at FLR. Those semifinals matches felt like finals matches when you had to play against Daisy! I thought you guys had the best robot at the event, and I wish you luck at MARCMP (if you attend) and definitely at Champs in a few weekends. Maybe we'll finally get to play WITH you instead of against you!

Lastly I want to give a shout-out to some incredible rookies. Team 5254 had arguably the best inbounder at the event. I think everyone can agree that their last-second score in Quarters 2-1 to beat the 341 alliance was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of the event.

Good luck to 1507, 378, 340, 3015, 1511, 1592, 1126, 341, 191, and 639 at the championship event!
