Great Lakes Regional!

[cfox2008]

Nice job 66, 67, and 68, that last match was a close one

68's first regional win EVER! Hard to believe, isn't it? Congratulations to 66, 67, and 68!

Congratulations teams 66, 67, and 68! Awesome autonomous mode 66! I had this feeling since from the start of the eliminations that your alliance will win the regional; especially since 66, 67, and 818 won against our alliance during the 33rd qualificaton round, by a ton of points! (20-59!) Wild final match too!

What a great event. We finished second paired with teams 308 and 1023. The 66,67 & 68 combo was a little much to handle this time. We gave them a good run though. Our team was real happy with our bot this year winning the Motorola Quality Award and we placed on an average of 6 Tetras a round on different goal tetras each time. Again, 66, 67 and 68 were an awesome alliance with the ability to stack lot's of tetras. See everyone at the Western and thanks to our great teamates 308 & 1023.

Congrats 66,67 and 68! Can't wait to see the bot at Buckeye!

66 was AMAZING... so impressive. Good job to 66, 67, 68. Wow...

Hey, does anyone know if FIRST will correct the standings, or what is going on with them? I noticed that 67 was 9-0-0, but in match Q68 our alliance managed to defeat them. It's just a nice cookie for our team to have knowing that they were in the only alliance to win over the regional champs. Something to keep them going until next year. Or is this one of those cases where one team has to play an extra round so their lowest score is dropped?

Good job everybody - That was one awesome regional! From everything that I heard on week one I was nervous - but this game turned out to be great!!!!

Thanx everyone for the congrats and we hope to see you at nationals

Great work to 322 and 308. I really want to thank 308 for taking all those hits for the alliance while they played defense, they got flipped over atleast 2-3 times. Great work to 66, 67, and 68 also...The last match so SO CLOSE...after waiting 10 minutes for the judges decision, we lost by 3 points...It was either the 3 point loss or a tie. Good luck all and see you at Nationals!

I would just like to congratulate the winners, the finalists, and all the participants of the Great Lakes Regional - you all did an awesome job and showed everyone what robotics is truly all about

I would especially like to thank Team 1 and Team 1254 for being excellent alliance partners. We didn't make it through the quarterfinals, but sure put forth a strong effort, and had fun in the process!

On behalf of Team 1447 Mopar and Center Line, good matches.

We had the honor of getting our butts handed to us from everyone of those teams on the winning alliance. Good job though, 66 for being able to manuver the vision tetra in autonomous, 68 and 68 for scoring soooo many points, you are all great, and deserve the win.

I wish we could have made it past the semis, and had the honor of facing you, but there is always next year i suppose.

I would also like to thank Teams 1596 and 910 for picking us as an alliance partner, it was a pleasure working with you guys, good luck in your future competitions.

Thanks for the congrats guys, I can hardly believe it either. I had the amazing luck to win the first FIRST regional I've ever been to, and hearing some of the stories from previous years I am incredibly grateful. As those guys ^^ said, that last match was insane. 308 pushing everyone around, the side goal changing ownership a good 5 times, and us in the corner stacking tetra after tetra on the home row. I must give many thanks to our alliance partners whose excellent robots and strategery allowed us to triumph over a very worthy adversary.

We also had incredible luck with our robot (or it was just well-built); we had zero major problems, just some minor things. Of course, it was enough minor things to prevent the programmmers from getting autonomous to work properly ("we've got 2 hours here to code"; ... ; "okay, we're done fixing everything, go ahead and start coding, you've got 2 hours"; "um, that was an hour and 40 minutes ago.").

Thanks for all the support guys. Team 67 and 68 you guys were awesome alliance partners. I saw a lot of great robots this weekend and I am looking forward to robots getting more and more competitive as the weeks progress. See you at West michigan or Nats!

Thanks for the compliments. I have to say, every single match in the elimination rounds seemed very close. All of the teams there did an awesome job.

Congrats to 65 for the Chairman's Award.

Thanks to 66 and 68; now we can all go to the Championship!
