Re: 2015 Denver CO Regional

This was our (1723) first trip to the Colorado Regional, and I'd like to complement the organizers for a well-run event. The venue was spacious, the judges and volunteers were great, and it all seemed to run like clockwork.

Thanks to our Alliance mates, 4499 and 5318, for being awesome stackers. Our scouts spent a lot of time finding the right teams for us to work with, so we could focus on capping stacks, and you two were perfect. And 4499's three-stack autonomous was an adrenaline shot to start each match. They also custom-printed us a spacer to get our lift working between the first and second match of the quarterfinals, otherwise we might have been dead in the water. Congrats on the Chairman's Award, 4499. We'll see both of you in St. Louis!

Finally, congratulations to the #1 Alliance, Up-A-Creek, Team Driven, and Rapid Acceleration. Our scores in the Finals would have won the KC Regional (our first event), but going up against a team that scores 200 points a match, there's nothing you can do but tip your cap. You guys deserved it. Well done.

Thanks Colorado!

Re: 2015 Denver CO Regional

CRUSH 1011 had another incredible time at the 2015 Colorado Regional. We are always so amazed at the quality of the venue and its volunteers. Well done on another well run and successful regional.

I would like to extend a thank you to our alliance captains 662 and partners 1584 for helping shake off a tough QF 1 and go out strong in QF 5. It took awhile but our first year drive team seemed to finally hit their stride in our last few matches. Our team learned about our robot and the changes that needed to be made before Championships!

Congrats to the very deserving winning alliance of 1619, 1730, and 4593. You guys were very fun to watch throughout the competition and Im ecstatic that my hometown of Rapid City, SD is getting their first trip to Champs this year! Looking forward to seeing all of the qualifying teams next month in St. Louis.

(Any idea on when the broadcast archive will be up for viewing?)
