Congrats, a lil disappointed that we didn't get to play with you on the same side but at least a Xerox team is coming home with a Regional win once again! 3 years in a row xerox has one Regional win.

There were some amazing teams there.
First and foremost I want to thank 494 ( I forgive you for the ambush Kareoke ) and 639 for being great alliance partners. I guess the Angry Red Martian Cats pulled it out. You broken a 14 year drought and helped make a long time dream come true for us. Thank you so very much.
I want to congratulate team 1507. 772 and 229 for being such excellent opponents in the final. That last match was a doozy. I hope to see all of you guys down in Atlanta, in particular 229 who had an excellent robot and I was very disappionted to hear might not be going down because of funding. You guys deserve to be there so bend someone's arm to make it happen.

Congrtulations on your winning. You guys were great opponents. I hope all of you continue this streak into other regionals and the nationals.

I'd like to thank teams #229 and #772 for being great alliance partners, and just basically a great group of people to be around. It's a shame our robot tipped the center goal's tetras, or things just might have been a little bit different.

Overall, the Finger Lakes Regional was great, and I hope many more great ones follow!

that was the loooooooooongest time ever for judges to call the score, the final match at FLR, in the history of FIRST

I wasnt sure if they were calling Dave on the phone, or were going to tell us to come back sunday to see who won

it had to be a good 15 minutes, serious

I gotta say, whenever they get out the rulers and index cards to measure the stack and see who won, when its that close the Finalist have nothing to be ashamed of. I doesnt get any closer than it did today!

Congrats to all the teams, it was a great regional.

[Yan Wang]

191, thanks for picking us, and 494, thanks for defending us while we capped. I had a great time driving in the finals and the last match proved to be the most interesting of all. To 1507, 229, and 772, thanks for that awesome match. It was a great ending to a great regional.

I'll post more after I get some more sleep.

And we may or may not be going back to Canada again due to this

A couple of 188 members and myself had a great time in rochester just taking in the game for the first time, and though we werent competing, we were on the edge of our seats again during finals, cheering for our fellow Canadian team 772 =P. Great job by all. I dont think there was a single match in the eliminations that wasn't exciting. Congratulations to the winning alliance, 494 in particular for another excellent show of defence during that second match.

Exactly the final we had predicted. Good job all!

From you, alright? We learned it by watching you!

I couldn't be happier that the XCats have won the inaugural home town regional. So a Xerox team wins the competition and a B&L team wins the chairmans. Man the sponsors must be happy!

Thanks, and congratulations!

In the last 6 years I've been participating in this program the Finger Lakes Regional is by far the best I've been in. Everything was awesome (arena, pit size, Social (comedian, movie, kareoke, open gym) ( I told people that this would be the regional with the best food - catered by the RIT Hotel management school, it was true!) And most of all, every team was downright pleasant to be with. I'm glad to have met many of you guys I've chatted with online here in person especially Mr. JVN(229) and Paul Copioli(217) too bad we couldn't hang more but one night was great. This is what makes FIRST great!

As Ed already mentioned we had an awesome alliance at this Regional. Many thanks to the assistance of teams 494 (Martians) and 639 (Code Red- too bad you're not coming to Atlanta). This was one of the best complimentary alliances I've seen during this regional. The suspense made the win sweeter don't you think. The refs even reviewed the last five minutes of the match, I heard, to confirm the decision they've made.

Congrats to 1507, 229, and 772 for being the challenge that everyone expected the finals to be, it was a close battle.

Unfortunately, the link from Ed's post no longer works, because it was a temporary place-holder. You can see my 2005 Finger Lakes Regional photos here: http://robotphotos.org/2005-flr.

I've got Day 1 (practice) and Day 2 (first day of competition) sorted into folders and I've got Day 3 (last day of competition) left to do. That'll probably happen over the next week or so and once everything is sorted, I'm going to delete duplicates and keep only the most interesting of the photos.

Feel free to add comments if you want, but please don't post anything offensive or illegal.

FIRST has yet to update it though :/

[Koko Ed]

It's been a week and no update for qualification matches and tournament matches.
I'm starting to get annoyed.
Is there anyone out there who has the information?
