Hahahahha. Sorry guys! We were just really pumped up... its the spirit love we have for our robot and drivers! After all that yelling, it does give you a headache...matter of a fact I had an headache screaming my lungs out. Heheheh. But overall, we enjoyed it with our spirit, and I also lost my voice a little.... We'll see you guys tomorrow!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!

I'm liking the regional so far. It's pretty small which means more matches for everyone and much less confusion. It's a much different atmosphere from other regionals, but I could get used to it. There's a lot of good teams and the facility is great. Unfortunately there's not much room for expansion so there could never be very many teams there, but it's definitely a worthwhile experience.

Lots of good matches though many seem to be uneventful. Many good teams none-the-less.

Killer bees have been doing an excellent job at small ball handling though some teams have found ways to stop them. Chief has a great bot, but they seem to have been having mechanical problems with their bot. Probots drive train is killer and won them an award (I forgot which one already lol). Juggies seem to have been having some troubles with their ball mechanisms, but the last few matches looked as though most of the bugs were dealt with. 515 has a killer big ball grabber. 1447 (Panther Robotics) has an amazing robot for being a rookie team. In fact, all the rookies seemed to have some great looking bots (and there's a lot of them). I can't think of any other teams in specific that I have watched at this moment.

Oh yeah, and Paul from 217 Thunder Chickens won the Woodie Flowers award. He's the MC btw and is doing a great job at it.

Detriot was an excellent Regional. It was fun and had plenty of good competition. Everyone was nice and it all worked out great. I would like to thank Team 217 for all their help. We wouldn't have done as well as we did without their help, especially help from Rick, Scott, and Jim. Thank you for all your help. We will see you at IRI. Thanks.

the venue is nice. i like a lot. but the seating areas are okay. sitting on bleachers and it only gives you a little space to sit. also, there's subway across the street with a chinese restraunt. we get to bring those food in too.....
I hope everyone that is in this competion does their best! practice runs was fun especially for us. Hehehe. But enjoy!

It's so small... like an OCCRA competition! The only FIRST regionals we've been to before are Ypsilanti and Grand Rapids, so the atmosphere in Detroit was quite a change. Also, we finally have our bar-grabber and our autonomous program working! Good luck to all!!!!!! I'll see you tomorrow!

BTW, I'm surprised that so many teams went to out-of-state regionals instead of Ypsi. Is it just for variety?

Could somebody be so kind to give us a run down of the friday standings and which awards were won so far?


Thanks

Neither The ThunderChickens nor The Juggernauts made Eliminations. Better luck next time.
Killer Bees knocked out in QF's - Partner dropped the ball there, literally.
