Wisconsin Regional 2016

[tprize]

Good luck to all competitors at this year's Wisconsin Regional! Pleased to see the addition of seven new rookie teams this year, including three from Turkey so on behalf of last year's Rookie All-Stars we wish you all the best of luck and if you have any questions on what it takes to receive the Rookie All-Star award feel free to head over to team 5586's pit!

Now down to the facts:

This year's Wisconsin Regional has the most diverse make up of all time including four international teams, and 12 other non-Wisconsin teams

One team already qualified for World's: Team 1675 (Ultimate Protection Squad)

One team was a championship finalist at World's last year: Team 2826 (Wave Robotics)

Team 1732 would like to offer our scouting data to any team attending in exchange for your team's scouting section wristbands. We have been doing this for a couple years now and it has worked out pretty well each year. On Friday after the end of qualifications we will send out our data to you in the form of an excel file. If you wish to see any of the data at any time during the event on Friday or Saturday we will be available.

If interested please email strategy-sub@team1732.com

We look forward to competing with you all this coming weekend!

I'm excited to see debuts from 2826, 2062, 2194, 1306, and 2506. Wisconsin usually has good depth, and it'll be nice to welcome so many young teams to Milwaukee.

C.O.R.E. 2062 appreciates the shoutout and we hope we live up to your expectations.

Team 1716 is excited to be attending the Wisconsin Regional this year as long as we can make our way through the blizzard!

Does anyone know if the webcast will be up today?

Traditionally the webcast is not up until Friday for qualification matches. And wishing safe travels to all of the teams heading down today!

Looks like it is up. Thanks to those who made it happen!

As a college freshman it will feel very awkward watching on line as this event has been a part of my life for the last 6 years. Good luck to all competitors and especially 706!

93 is going to win this easily!

Does anyone know what the foul was in SF 1-3?

I believe it was a G25 (B) - coordinating a blockade of the FIELD with ALLIANCE members. It looked like the 3 red robots blockaded 537 from leaving the courtyard. Definitely a close call and surprised as everyone else with the outcome. Curious to see the match footage once it becomes available.

Nope they said a member of our alliance ripped out the radio of 537. And this was supposedly during the final 20 seconds...

Congrats to 3102, 2202, and 5855 for winning the Wisconsin regional- especially to fellow MN team 3102 TNT, I'm glad you guys are going to worlds.

I want to give a shout to the finalist alliance as well, especially Team 706 who for the past couple of years have been coming nail bitingly close to winning their 1st regional.
