I agree that Boston and New york(especially the one we went to) were extremly easy competitions with many rookie teams in comparison to other NE competitions and the FL regional, I would not go as far as to say that the NJ regional is more competitive than FL, if so, not by much, from what I hear there are alot of industry sponsored teams up there that have very efficient robots, as som1 else has already mentioned, next year is hawaii : D, 09 soudns like a good year for Jersey, our team has been wanting to go to a more competitive competition like NJ for our second regional because we ususually go to new competitions in new locations

Can't forget that 86 has had an extremely good robot for both last year and this year. 79 also always shows up with an excellent robot and Always a great Chairman's entry.

Also Team 56 from NJ was in attendance at the Florida Regional this year. That NJ team had one one of the best arms in the competition, I can see a good argument both ways.



By the way. Does anyone know any home remedies for getting your voice back?

Re: Florida Regional 2007

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.

Re: Florida Regional 2007

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.

Re: Florida Regional 2007

Matches must go on, with or without robots. Team 971 missed a number of matches last year to get our robot running (which, it never managed to do properly)

This is one of the many reasons good scouting is so important.

I know why one of the robots, 233, wasn't there. We had major structural issues with our tower which were awaiting repairs. We, like all teams in this situation, feel badly about letting our alliance partners down. The possibility of "no shows" affecting other teams is a down side of the alliance system which has been part of FIRST since 1999, though there are also many good points to the alliance system.

We'll try to do better next year, and make it to all of our matches.

Just out of question, but did the lack of quick access to band saws, drill presses and the like have much of an impact on the time it took to repair the robot?

Thanks, guys, and we'll see you in Atlanta, and some of you in Vegas.
The only reason you guys were not snatched up before we picked was that teams were paying too much attention to the rankings and win/loss results. After you fixed your technical problems, you guys had some hard luck losses. We were paying attention to your ability to score quickly, on all levels, in autonomous, and while being bothered by opponents - oh and also your ability to climb ramps.

We had a good alliance, and maybe we can work together in Atlanta. I'd love the chance to walk around in one of those pink wigs!
