Competitiveness at Regionals (Chesepeake)

Team 11 and all the other teams from Chesepeake have just got home. Team 11 did incredible, we placed 5th out of 58 and lost in the semis. I know that in all of the elimination matches the competition level was out the roof. From teams completely bending other machines to entire drive trains blowing the competitevness was unbelieveable. Us and team 25 got into 2 shoving matches in the quarters, luckily we were able to beat them after they blew two of their drive trains trying to push us. I was wondering, how was the competitveness at the other regionals and if you have any cool stories like ours.

Re: Competitiveness at Regionals (Chesepeake)

Team 125 was seeded 49th out of 51 at BAE. In Annappolis, we finished the day 7th out of 58.

We made huge strides to push through our problems. And with a little luck we make it to the semifinals. I'm very proud of my team and what we accomplished over the weekend.

Team 11 did great and it was a great match. Coach Ernie told me that MoRT was ready for us and you sure were. Congratulations on some great play.

BTW- the robust cheering of your team was equally refreshing. Keep up the good work
