Does any one know what song they were playing right in between Karthik pointing out the triplets were working together and when they announced the scor or Finals match 2?

It couldn't hear every thing but it sounded a little bit tech no and was something like Make it break it cut it paste it...

That was Technologic by Daft Punk

1680 was dead..........I hope we get an explanation.

It appears that they didn't manage to finish the repairs to 1680. They didn't do much more than twitch that last match. A real shame. It turned what would have been an awesome tight match into a slaughter.

And thanks for that song tip. I thought it was pretty awesome too.

[edit: IT appears it was a lose wire on 1680 that stopped them from working.]

Congratulations to 1114 and 1503 on making history. Two teams winning 3 regionals in one season. Simply amazing.

That was a great regional. Definitely the best I've seen all year.

It was on an old iTunes commercial.

Yeah, that's too bad about the final match, but still a great regional

Congratulations to 1114, 1503 and 865

loose wires, that really is horrible!

There is no info on this regional beyond Q96. I'd like to know how the quarter finals and semis went, but there is nothing there. What's the deal?

The first through fourth alliances sat out the first round of the elims.

I can't recall many specifics from the quarters. One thing that stood out was 4 getting on top the ramp and perfectly blocking 703's autonomous.

In the semis, 229, 217, and 4 faced 1114, 1503, and 865. In the first match 1114 and company lost auton. It looked like they were out of position after that, and lost.

In the next match 1114 won auton, 4 tipped over early in the match, and 1114 ran away with the match.

in the 3rd match, 1114 won auton and ran away with the match again.

GTR - the Absolute Best of FIRST, and the Greatest Regional Ever!

To Our Alliance - 378 and 296 - THANK YOU!! YOU ROCK!! We did our best to cover 1680, sorry it didnt work out that well.

Once again, congratulations to 1114, 1503 and 865 for the spectacular win - it was history in the making.

865 Western Tech - please pass our thanks to David Edwards for his programming workshops, and best of luck in Atlanta.

Thanks to 1213, NTCI and all others for your batteries/chargers - it gave us the power we needed.

To all GTR teams - you made it what it is, and it will be better next year:

GO GTR 2007!!
