Re: Florida Regional 2007

Is it safe to say the Florida regional, is the best and hardest regional in all of FIRST?

I invite your team to New Jersey regional next year to play among some of us northeast teams. Then you can judge.

But he based his prediction on the original alliance, ours was altered, and who knows, maybe if we had 108 we would have won

Re: Florida Regional 2007

we chose NJ because we thought it would be the most competitive and toughest.
I'm glad that we came!
I'm sure FL and SVC is just the same......

Re: Florida Regional 2007

I have to extend huge thanks from myself and all of 1251 for team 1270 and team 86 helping us on the road to victory. 1270, you were amazing, great scorers who held your own under the hard hits of some of the teams there. 86, you guys played some amazing D and your ramp was amazing, also, your cart's toolbox was a lifesaver in those short fix times. Altogether, we couldn't have done it without either of you and see you at nationals!!

That would have been lovely! But congrats to 1251, 86, and 1270 though! Those finals were surely intense!

I've been to regionals in the northeast. New York and Boston... I know a couple of years ago (way before my time) our team went to Jersey and Toronto too. We've also been out west... Denver, Washington State... We've been to a lot of different regionals. But from my experience, the northeast regionals I went to (New York 04, Boston 06) never seemed as hard as the Florida Regional (04-07), and I always wondered why it never got reputation for being a hard regional. Granted, no regional is every really easy... but Florida always seems to be very competative... we have amazing veteran and rookie teams. So, I would say from my experience, the Florida Regional is one of the hardest/most competative, and thats part of what makes it so great!

oh and ahanktcd, trust me, we all had a great time. We werent dancing the whole time for nothing... we were enjoying the competition, in spite of our little mechanical issues. Thanks for your concern, and we look forward to seeing you in Atlanta, along with everyone else!

Re: Florida Regional 2007

Just wanted to say thank you to team 1902 for letting me be with them for the day. Great Job at the Regional, it was a pleasure being around you guys for the day. Good luck at future regionals.

I also want to thank team 157, The Aztecs for giving me a ride back to my hotel. Thank you all so much.

Re: Florida Regional 2007

One more thing...NO MORE OUTDOOR PITS!!!

No more power outages, long bumpy walks, or freezing right in front of the AC. Believe it or not, it was often colder in the tent than it was in the arena. FIRST handled it really well and it was fun experience nonetheless...

New York is not a hard regional and neither is boston. At least this year, New Jersey was way more competitive than Florida. Other years, results vary. You will find that while many "big name" teams do not come to New Jersey, the level of competition is stiff. My only complain against New Jersey is that teams only got 7 official rounds.
