2016 Arizona North Regional

[Andrew Schreiber]

Can someone talk to the webcast folks about just keeping the full field view.

And also that background noise is weird...

[blazingbronco18]

What's with the lack of noise? All I am getting on my webcast is some static noise.

They are not replaying matches for broken defenses. Is this new for this week?

Congrats to all the teams making it through the day more or less intact! With many high scores and teams getting 4RP left and right, it's been exciting to watch. Good luck to the teams tomorrow!

What defenses broke that you saw? We had some lexan siding that is for aesthetics pop off, but I don't remember any matches with defenses dislodged or failing to operate correctly. We bent a few low bars but the robots that did never moved out of the low bar after the impact...

A lot of good scores being put up today, pretty much every match is above 75 on both sides of the field. 125 was just scored.

[IronicDeadBird]

Well... That was dope, Im pissed that I wanted to meet people I see on delphi a lot but lets be real...
Free time at a regional?
You might have seen me in the skull mask though.

[Nathan Rossi]

That was a blast! Everything was great, the venue, the teams, the volunteers, the game, it was just an awesome event!

Thanks to 2486 and 1410 for playing with us. So close to finals!

Congrats to 2122, 125, and 498 on the win and to 1619 for the chairman's award.

Now it's time to get ready for west...

[Seth Mallory]

I want to say this was the best regional that I have been to in 14 year's. This was a great event and venue.

[mrnoble]

The pits were arranged really well. The staff was supportive and relaxed. I was able to tell a friend at 8:30 in the morning that we had a match worth watching at 11:47; it started right on time. What a great event!

Best Arizona regional I've ever been to. Plenty of seats, matches were on time, pits were great, and the most intense elimination matches we've ever been through. Congrats to 1619 on their big chairmens win and also to 2122, 125, and 498 for winning the regional. Big thanks to 4183 and 192 for being great partners. Looking forward to a potential super regional next year.

Congrats to our 2015 AZ West Alliance Partners, Team Tators 2122, and their partners on winning Arizona North!

It was awesome working with your team last year at AZ West and I hope we get to see you guys at Champs this year, too!

[Brandon Holley]

Now that I've had a chance to recover, I'd like to thank a few people and teams for helping make Arizona North a very great experience for the NUTRONs.

First, to our alliance partners, 2122 and 498, it was an absolute pleasure getting to work together and getting to know your teams. We'd love to play with either of you again someday.

Congratulations to 1619 on the well-deserved Chairman's award. You all are a class act and we were happy a deserving team took home the award.

I'd also like to take a chance to personally thank teams 842, 2493 and 1165. On our way out to Flagstaff, we were caught in a 5 hour delay at the Houston airport. During the delay all of our equipment was left on the tarmac in a thunderstorm. The result was several inches of standing water in each of our totes. We lost our power tools and much of our material in the process (tapes, foam, etc). Our tools were covered in rust, were soggy, some non-functional (see below for how we spent Thursday morning, drying out all of our stuff). These teams really went above and beyond and helped us out - we're very thankful and hope we can repay the favor someday (albeit under different circumstances ).

The 'Big Dry Out':


Congrats to everyone, we had a great time in Flagstaff. Arizona has always treated us well - we look forward to coming back again someday.

P.S. The team got to take a trip to the Grand Canyon on Sunday, we brought the blue banner along for an awesome team photo.

Towards the end it was said there was a fault in the field anyone know what it was?

Here's a playlist with video of many of the matches from the event.
