2014 Las Vegas Regional

[JB987]

From BHP's post in other CD thread...

At the Las Vegas Regional, the Semi Finals 2 took 6 matches to decide the winner.

Match 1: A cameraman blocked a ball resulting in a "field fault"
Match 2: 1717 didn't move for 30 seconds blamed on field
Match 3: Good. 1717 still didn't move, but blamed on bot. 2122/399/1725 win.
Match 4: Good. 399 blew the 120A breaker, 1717/3476/687 win.
Match 5: 399 tips onto 2 balls, dead ball confusion ensued, match stops early.
Match 6: Good. 1717/3476/687 win.

It was 1572 actually, not 1725

Team 399 had a fantastic time at the Las Vegas Regional.

Congrats to the winning alliance of 987, 2485, and 2478. We were definitely excited to see our friends on 2485 qualify for champs, and we know they'll be a huge contender on whichever field they are on.

I loved getting the chance to alliance with 2122 and 1572. We have great friends on Team Tators, and getting the chance to work with them is always a pleasure. We have attended at least one regional with 1572 for the past few years, but this was the first time we had the opportunity to work with them, and we had a great experience.

Those 6 semi-final rounds were some rough ones! Our robot has the scratches and dents that show the tenacity of every team on that opposing alliance. We got a good chance to talk with everyone we were competing against, as we reset the field time after time. Knowing everyone had the best intentions in mind, the matches felt genuinely fun to be a part of.

399 is definitely looking to attend this event in the future.

This was, hands down, my favorite regional competition in all my four years with FIRST. If it weren't for college getting in the way, I'd have been in Vegas all three days.

Cheers to our excellent alliance partners 987 and 2485 for the opportunity to compete in the elimination matches, and cheers again to every team who attended for the top-notch competition on the field. As for the 6-match semifinals, that was a rough set of circumstances, but all six teams involved weathered it admirably.

If anyone is interested, we've posted a recording of our elimination matches from the robot's perspective:

On a separate note, was the livestream recorded, and if so will it be posted on YouTube or otherwise now that the regional is over? All I can find are handheld camera videos of a few of the matches. Also - does anyone know what the song playing halfway through Finals 1 was? I have no clue what it's called, and I really want to find it...

Wow! I knew you guys were driving good out there, but I didn't realize just how good until I watched the videos from the robot's perspective. You were playing great D and helping out with picks on offense with seamless transition. That 1 point goal in QF 1 was brilliant!

2485 would like to thank our good friends on 987 for taking another crack at it with us in the elimination rounds. We thought that we had fixed our shooter before match F-2, but apparently we hadn't; they did all of the heavy lifting in those finals matches and they weathered the games like the champs that they are. We would also like to say thanks to Team 2478; we were thrilled and surprised that you were still available to round out the alliance. Your GoPro footage tells the story clearly: smart playing, powerful shooting, and amazing driving! We certainly hope that all three of us end up on the same field in St. Louis.

It was intense watching 1717, 3476, 678 and 2122, 399, 1572 duke it out over and over again in the semifinals. Both alliances ran the gauntlet on that one. Kudos to all teams involved!

Congratulations to 1266 for the Engineering Inspiration award and to 1515 on winning their 3rd Chairman's award!

2485 certainly felt fortunate and had a great time in Vegas. We look forward to returning in 2015!

Good luck to all of the teams that are playing in St. Louis!
