Re: Has a hybrid won yet?
I guess I just don't understand the question. Has a hybrid won yet?
Has any robot or team won yet? I say no. Alliances win regionals, not robots or teams. Should we say 1444 won the St. Louis regional because they were the captain of the winning alliance? Should we say 45 won it because they were the 'senior' team on the winning alliance? Should we say the Digital Goats won it because they enabled both of their alliance partners to score 30 bonus points in F2, and also defended the rack against the amazing onslaught of 148 and 217?
None of the above. 1444 / 45 / 829 won the 2007 St. Louis Regional. One of them happened to be a hybrid. I think we'll see similar winning alliances several times as the 2007 season progresses.
I'll be really surprised if an alliance without a ramp wins any 2007 regional event.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
