2007 Wisconsin Regional

[Orominuialwen]

1306 will definitely be there this year! (Let's face it, we only have enough money to go to one regional, so why wouldn't we go to the one only 90 mi away! ) We're definitely hoping to improve upon the 26th (I think it was 26th) place we got last year, and we plan on defending, if not improving upon, our Regional Engineering Inspiration Award.

I just hope we won't have any medical emergencies this year! Last year our mascot passed out and had to be taken to the ER for overheating and dehydration. (He wore the badger suit for two hours without drinking anything or taking it off.) Later that day, another guy on our team jumped off a rock in the red panda exhibit at the zoo and sprained his foot. He ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of the weekend. When all the mascots were dancing, he put on our mascot suit and had someone push him around. (He was just out of that picture to the left.) At nationals, I wore the badger suit, and one of the other mascots who'd been to that regional asked what'd happened to me at regionals that I needed a wheelchair!

Team 930 is excited to be traveling back to the WI regional again this year. We're under new leadership and hope to be working closely and well with some fantastic alliance parnters this year, helping "raise their game" if you get my hint

[blaise]

team 1652 from Pleasant Prairie, WI will be there and will rock the rack.
(excuse the pun)
Please include a loop of some sort so that we can "pick you up"

A reminder that this is only for teams who want to pre-order food from the venue. Concessions will be open and there are food options outside of the US Cellular Arena.

The due date for pre-ordered lunches is on the form, Monday 2/26.

Team 2077 will be there, we are a rookie team and this will be our first competion. I hear that it is pretty intense...

Yay Wisconsin! Team 1652 is going to be at the Wisconsin regionals again this year also. This year, though, we hope we are going to do much better than last year Last year we were terrible.... but this year we are all new and none of us have competed in this competition b4. We still think that were going 2 do awsome! Hope to see some of u guys there and good luck.

Don't be so hard on yourself as a team and your preformance last year. Remember that the key thing is that you learned something and have been inspired by science and technology. If that is true than the time that the volunteers and mentors have invested in you is worth it. If you improve your knowledge this year and are able to utilize that towards how well your robot preforms than that is an added bonus .

BTW I heard rumors that the youngest MC and Announcer tandum ever will be at the Wisconsin regional this year so get ready to pump it up!!

[vivek16]

please post your robots picture on your website or on chiefdelphi.

i am working on compiling a list of all of the bots that are going to be at wisconsin and what they can do.

i of course will share the list once it is mostly finished.

Team 754 will be there with some competition!! We hope to do better than last year. This will be my second year at a FIRST regional, I am pretty psyched. I wish good luck to all FISRT teams!

I heard this too from somewhere...

Prepare yourself Wisconsin, this is gonna be one awesome weekend.

Here is something for all of the scouting people in Milwaukee. I wrote an Access Database that takes the match info, team information, and will generate a report with the teams in each match, their alliance, and all the info you entered.

The database I attached has the team info from Wisconsin, and the match info from today's practice matches.

You use the teams form to enter information about each team.

You use the Matches form to enter the time/data of each competition and match number.

You then you the AllianceInfo form to enter the alliance groupings. Team#, Alliance must be R or B. Each team has its own record. With the Team#, alliance, and match#. For each match you will have SIX entries in AllianceInfo.

Once you have the info entered you can run the matches report.

Good luck everybody,

Anyone got eyewitness data (or video?) of the Wisconsin regional eliminations?

Four rookie teams in the finals, and F1-2 score 61-60 for the blue alliance. Seems like it must have been pretty exciting.

[Chris2]

I was there, but don't have any footage. I will say that the regional was won by Fond du Lac (2196 - Fondy Fire), Sussex (537 - Charger Robotics), Prior Lake HS (2169)

1714 - More Robotics of Milwaukee won the website award. I don't remember who won the other awards to tell you the truth. I just remember the website award because I work on my teams website.

269 won the chairman's award.

We lost in the quarter finals. The alliance we lost to lost the lost in the final round. They should have won, then we could say that we lost the the regional champions.

A couple teammates and myself went to watch and in finals it seemed to be a standard to get two robots up because everybody could do it. Over all it was a pretty offensive regional.
