2006 Pittsburgh Regional

[echo404]

It was a very good competition, All of the teams did a fantastic job, the only reason any team lost was due to mechanical or programming problems from thier or their allies robots. I'm not sure some teams would have done so bad or so good if all the robots had functioned correctly.

The field itself was having some problems too, some teams would lose connection to their robots, sometimes it wouldn't keep score, sometimes some robots wouldn't activate, it was very chaotic. However the people out there did the best they could to keep the competition going smoothly.

A large Congratulations to all the teams that showed up and competed at the Regional. This was my first regional in my first year in robotics, and I will say it over and over, I don't think I've had as much fun and excitement over an equal amount of time in my life! All the teams really showed the FIRST buzzword "Gracious Professionalism", and the competition was really interesting to watch from the first go. To this day, I don't think I've even seen some professional sports teams have as much of a unifying theme and team spirit as 365. I mean, wow. Even down to the green shoelaces lol.

Good luck to you all in your future endeavors, and I hope every event I can go to will be as exciting and fun as this one.
