2015 Saint Louis Regional

[Alpha Beta]

Thank you St. Louis for hosting a fantastic regional. The venue, volunteers, and level of competition were all outstanding. Special thanks to 4329 for providing the webcast. Our supporters back home really appreciate the ability to keep up with the team. (By the way, 2 EI's in the same year is a most impressive feat. Well done.)

1658, you absolutely lived up to your release video. You were a great team to work with, and built the most impressive offensive juggernaut at the tournament. It was also fun to reunite with 4356 (regional champs in 2012) and see the progress your team has made. I've got a hunch that the unused pneumatic system on your robot just might find a purpose by the World Championship.

It seems like we keep seeing 1208 in elimination matches year after year. Always a contender, and a fitting recipient of the wild card berth to Champs. Congratulations to 2783 on the Chairman's award. Really enjoyed watching your video at the end of the tournament.

4256, you are absolutely one of our favorite teams to work with. We had a blast setting the regional high score (204 pts) together. I wish we could have seen the 4 can stealer you were cheesecakeing on your alliance partner in action.

Team Titanium (FRC 1986) had an 8 regional win streak coming into this season. After being finalists in Arkansas earlier this season that streak is over. Hopefully this is the start of a new one. Either way we are thankful to be representing the state of Missouri at the World Championships once again. This is an opportunity that we are very familiar with, but trust me when I say we don't take it for granted.
