Re: Colorado Regional

First off I'd like to thank our wonderful alliance partners 3310 and 2543, you guys had great bots and we worked really well as a team. Also, it was lots of fun hanging out with 2543 cheering section during eliminations.

Secondly I'd like to thank 4499 for helping us out by providing lunch, for lending us extra batteries for eliminations, cheering us on, and probably for helping us out with plenty of other things that I don't even know about.

I'd also like to thank team 1011 for presenting us with the "Best Carpet" award, and being awesome pit neighbors. I spoke with one of you guys regarding collaborating on some drive-system development. After giving it some thought it has become very apparent to me that the improvements you proposed would be a valuable addition to our future bots, and I look forwards to working with you to implement it.

I look forwards to seeing all of you again in St Louis.

Finally I'd like to echo the thoughts that the venue was great. Having a full practice field was huge for us, we spent every possible minute on there.

Overall Colorado was tons of fun for us, and we look forwards to coming back next year.

Re: Colorado Regional

I was looking at Ether's cumulative twitter data, and I have to give a shout out to 1619, Up-A-Creek, and the great robot they put out this year; it's too bad they won't get to represent Colorado at the World Championship. 1619 had some very impressive stats this year. While I'm sure they would trade qualification stats for banners, they are still amazing:

22-1 in quals
26th in the world for max OPR
20th in the world for average OPR unpenalized*
8th in the world for average CCWM unpenalized*

That last stat ranks them higher than a who's who of powerhouse teams including this year's favorite, The Cheesy Poofs.

*without counting foul points, i.e. only points you earned from auto/assists/truss/catch/goals

Re: Colorado Regional

Have to agree, one of the best run regionals. I would also like to give a shout out to 1619, if not for a few tough breaks, who knows. Great robot, great job this year. Shout out to all the teams going to St. Louis good luck and have fun.

Re: Colorado Regional

I nominated 1619 on the who should going to be champs but is not thread. It is great to see some numbers backing that up. I was amazed the #1 seed didn't pick them in alliance selections to be honest, but turns out they knew what they were doing and won the regional.

Re: Colorado Regional

Thank you for the kind words from other teams. Our team had been hoping to come away with our first blue banner this year, but we were overall happy with how the season turned out. It was a lot of fun getting to go to two regional competitions for the first time this, and it was the teams we competed both with and against that made it special.

Broncobots and Project Y did an excellent job in the eliminations with us in Colorado, keeping it fun by coming up with different moves on the spot for when they introduced us by team. Eagle Robotics and NASKCO Robotics from Utah were also a blast to team up with, and I still have joystick envy from the fancy controller that NASKCO's drive team used. Angelbots, Team 1339, also deserves huge recognition in the professional manner that they handled the damage to their robot. They rebuilt between competitions and came back with not only an awesome machine, but also a drive team that I look forward to having milkshakes with soon. Overall we enjoyed both competitions thoroughly and are looking forward to next year. We wish the best of luck to all in Championships and beyond.
