Re: The Regional Wars

Good news for me is that I must be in the East. Otherwise I would have looked pretty bad slamming myself. Therefore I stand on my statements. Let the chaos continue (I think I stole that from somewhere, Jon?).

But really, We don't have mountains to climb or fun roads to drive on. The most elevation change we have is the bridges over interstates!!!! Maybe thats why our robots are better, nothing else to do!!!!
Bloomington does have some nasty hills. NOT fun driving around there with ice at all. Brown County (which doesn't have a FIRST team (yet) also has some of the best hills in the world for running, XC camp is there in the summer.

Re: The Regional Wars

My views are a little skewed compared to most of you. I consider the midwest west of the Mississippi and ends at Mountain Time( a little before the Rockies). Everything to the east of Mississippi is the East or Mid-east for those of you who don't want to associate with the East. And to the west of the Rockies is the West. When you are in the middle of the country. Yes, Kansas is the center. It is hard for me to describe Michigan and Indiana as the MidWEST. They are to the east. It makes no sense.

Re: The Regional Wars

Okay, guys...
Everyone is coming and saying nice things about their teams and region, but now this thread really need an impartial observer. Let me tell you what we see from the Southern Hemisphere, taking a much better view of the big picture.

Over our 5 years of competition, we've been to the West, East and Midwest. This year, attending the Midwest regional, we realized the obvious: The Midwest teams are the most competitive ones and their robots really are the best.
But Midwest teams, don't be too proud of yourselves. The Brazilian teams are growing in number and in a couple of years the Midwest will totally lose their spot at the top of the rank.

PS - Non-Midwest teams: sorry... but we just had to make up for the warm reception we got at the Midwest Regional... Just goes to prove how great those teams are!

When you mix those 4 regions and add the 5th region (international teams), that would make my divisional separation.
