 I will never forget Dean's opening lines: "I want you to know that I am here under protest. I believe that everything you are doing here is repugnant and ethically wrong. And now I am going to tell you why..." And for the next 35 minutes, that is exactly what he did. - dlavery [more] |

Re: Teams attending three regionals...
Attending multiple regionals in one year is an advantage to a team, no question about that. The reason we qualified for Nationals in 2004 was because we had the St. Louis Regional to compete at and work out the kinks in our machine and our strategies. We came out of STL with confidence and knew what we had to do to win, and it worked.
Attending one competition is taxing enough, on the machine and the people involved with the team. Anything added to that one is even more challenging, you need to have dedicated people and a robust robot. Cooney Quest went through 4 competitions last year (STL, Midwest, Nats, and IRI) and our machine just got better as the year went on. We won 2 events (Midwest and IRI) and that robot can still compete with the best of them (besides being an ungly rust bucket). For teams attending more than 1 regional, watch out for them in their late regionals and at nationals, they will have the 2005 game down. |
