Florida Regional 2007

[Kristian Calhoun]

Finals: 108 179 1902 v 1251 86 1270

That last semi final match was really close, with the #2 alliance pulling out the win 10-8 over 233, 180 and 1889.

EDIT: The 1902, 179, 386 [replacement for 108] alliance just won the first match 16-4.

Also does anyone know why the number four alliance is red instead of blue? I always thought that the higher seeded alliance was red...

In the quarterfinals and semifinals that's the case. But in the finals the left side of the ladder gets the red side, and the right side of the bracket gets the blue side.

Good job to everyone, and congratulations to 1270, 86 and 1251

That was a really close final match, I enjoyed watching it.

Good job tech tigers

I think the winning alliance took everyone by surprise!

[PandaMan]

Congratulation to 1270 - 86 - 1251! You guys played some amazing matches. (Gotta love 86's ramp)

[Po-ser]

That was an intense final match! I'm surprised ramps didn't play into strategy as much earlier on. Towards the end, it looked like everything was getting decided in the last 25 seconds... Anyhow, congrats to the winners!

[Ed Coleman]

As I have alway figured, ramps make all the difference. Congrats to the winners. That was an awesome finals.

Thanks to all the teams that supported us. Way to go Red Dragons! I was not able to make it to the Florida Regional due to my wife being pregnant, but watched the matched on the webcast! What a great job!
I talked to our team a little while ago...something I did not notice was that team 86 busted their transmission in the 1st finals match. The next two matches they sat back and just acted as the ramp (what a great ramp). Amazing job to them and our partners, 1251, for scoring ringers! See you and 86 at the Championship!

Congrats to the winning alliance :-D.

Especially to 1251, I'm very proud of you guys and was psyched when I found out you guys took another regional. Soooo proud of my tech tigers!!

Video from the Florida Regional will be on The Blue Alliance Match Archive System in a matter of minutes, just as soon as I can encode and upload it, thanks to SOAP.

out of curosity in match 7 anyone know why the red alliance had only one bot on the field and the blue had 3.

[technoL]

I'm not sure about that particular match, but I do know that in many of the early matches there were quite a few teams that did not show up for their matches --either because they didn't pass inspection or they still were working on their bot. Before lunch Friday, there were a lot of 2 on 3 matches.

[swamp_child]

cause people were still finishing robots, probably.

still it wasnt right for them to continue since red had only 1bot and blue had 3. watch the match. i was not there for those before match 4 cause im from far away and had school.our team is entered in the Drexel university competition and no others. same in the next match except red had 2bots and blue had 3.

[technoL]

They are not going to hold up the matches and confuse the match schedule because teams are not ready to compete. Although there might have been a bit of a problem with the teams that could not put a robot on the field (I know about 233's story) it is vital to keep the matches moving in a timely manner, even at the sake of a whole alliance.
