[slickguy2007]

Out of curiosity.....

Who were the ones that dominated on the field at the regionals?
Who should we all watch out for at nationals?
Who has the best autonomous?
Who had the best strategy?
What were some cool plays that you have seen?

GO 1403!!!

hmm...in Manchester, 121, 126, and 501 dominated in my opinion. 121 and 126 had one of the best offences i saw at that regional, they also won the regional w/ another team. forgot the number. 501 won the chairmans award, but there bot, was by far the best in defence, flipping over Buzz a few times. 126, gaule force was able to stack tw tetras at once, and 121 had a pretty decent autonomouus, which allowed it to stack a tetra on the side goal. 121 and 126 are teams you should watch out for, 501 as well, and if my team 1568 makes it, we are another team

i think team 801 was an especially good team at the Peachtree Regionals. they were the number one seed throughout most of the competition. when allied with us, they did their job very well and used strategy effectively. their only loss came against us in the final match of the qualifying round but they managed to beat us in the semifinals.

CONGRATULATIONS TEAM 801... GOOD LUCK AT NATIONALS

Who were the ones that dominated on the field at the regionals?
217.237. 191. 494. 229 (it's not thier fault they had a target on their back)
Who should we all watch out for at nationals?
217. 237. 191. 494.378.1126 (who will be much better after they play at Buckeye)1511 (once they get more matches under their belt they will play even stronger)
Who has the best autonomous?
237. 1126. 494. 191.
Who had the best strategy?
494 was able to play effective offense and play smart defense which makes them effective.
What were some cool plays that you have seen?
I would say the Division by Chicken pissing contest and of course the last match which will proably go down as one of the greatest matches in the history of FIRST.

at the BAE regional, The teams I thought were very good were of course our alliance partners 121 and 350. The teams that we payed close attention to and considered them as good possible picks were teams: 1027 excellent caping ability, very quick and clean. I also enjoyed talking with your team. 133 caping the center goal in autonomous mode opens up so many strategies. 157 also a great quick capper. 549 good robust robot, great caping ability. 42 can stack and obtain tetras quickly.

I would pay close attention to all the teams I mentioned above. They all will not go down without a good fight, and we know that. I can't wait to see the teams atending UTC. Most of which are good veteran teams.

Team 401 (won VCU with 435 and 122) are fast cappers and have a great autonomous program but tip somewhat easily as 539 showed everyone. They also lose the tetras somewhat easily - I was able to stop them from scoring on the center goal by barely touching their red tetra with my blue tetra.

[Anthony Kesich]

At Sacto, 245 was pretty scarry. They're quick, accurate, high-capping, and their arm won't break.

610 is quite the defensive robot since they're small and wedge shaped. You don't notice them until they're right on top of you. The only downside is they attract a lot of loading penalties.

56 has an awesome autonomous that never fails and can work with or without the starting tetra.

[whakojacko]

actually 610 was quite good about not drawing penalites when i saw them. They didnt keep a bot cornered for long periods of time and also backed away when people went into loading zones

639 unfortunately [edit]most likely[/edit] will not be there at the championships.

[web2linc]

i feel we had the best robot a Sac regional because we could play both defense and offense. In most of our rounds we caped almost all the goals. scoring 70+. One time we did not have a 3rd bot because they were having drive train problems (100) and it was 2 against 3 and we placed tetras on almost every goal scored 78 but we don't get that much recognition, we did sweep the finals with our other teamates

Is there any chance you guys can raise the money to go. You truly deserve to go.

[Yan Wang]

If we raise the money, we'll go to the Toronto Regional. That's been a team tradition since it started in 2002 and we wouldn't miss that for the world.

Or the championship event.

edit:

To answer the thread question:

217, 229, 191, 494, 639
Everyone - it's too early to tell
237, 494, 1559, 1126
...
217/229 stacking contest

VCU Regional:
401 has a great autonomous mode
1095 is a great capper, and fun to work with
384 is a fast capper as well, and fun to work with
447 has a very good design, and can carry three tetras at a time

Those are just the ones off the top of my head.

[GNickey384]

At the VCU Regionals, #3 seeded (seeded 3rd because they were 7-0-1 and the #1 seeded team was 8-1 and the #2 seeded team had more QPs) 401 is consistent in autonomous mode with their starting tetra, capping the side goal and knocking the hanging tetra down, and is a fast and pretty consistent capper.
