Iowa Regional 2016

[Golfer4646]

I'll also add that the Iowa Regional was a well run event, and that I had a blast attending and competing! Congratulations to 5172 (Gators) on a over-due and well deserved first regional victory! Congrats also to 525 (Swartdogs) for the victory, but even more so for the Chairman's Award! I had a great time competing with and opposite your team!

I also would like to say that the Iowa Regional must have had the deepest and most competitive field of teams that I have ever competed against. As an example of that here is video of qual match 89: (thanks once again to 525)

This match was particularly impressive, (or maybe it was just particularly exciting because my team did especially well in this match ), because even though the blue alliance had both the 1st overall alliance selection (525), and the captain of the number 3 alliance (4818), and was against a red alliance that none of the teams were able to compete in elims, it was still an amazingly competitive match! The red alliance (of which none of the 3 teams were selected for eliminations) came within one boulder bouncing out of the tower, and having all three robots parked on the batter at the end of the match from achieving a capture!
