Re: 2007 Wisconsin Regional

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.

Re: 2007 Wisconsin Regional

Yeah, the last match was insane. As soon as I saw the judge give the thumbs up I yelled "They won by 1 point!!!"

537 got their robot up at the VERY last second, too!

Re: 2007 Wisconsin Regional

Team 2077 has the video of the final two matches for 2196 - Fondy Fire, 537 - charger robotics, and team 2169 to win it. Unbelievable score of 60 - 61. Must be seen to be believed. Here's the video:

Part 1
Part 2


...sorry for the poor quality, youtube down converts the video to .flv format

Re: 2007 Wisconsin Regional

That last match was intense!
Especially since I am on the team (2175) that was the captain of the alliance that lost 61-60.

Coming in to this competition as a rookie team, we didn't expect to be good at all. We figured we would just enjoy being in the qualifying rounds and then watch the elimination rounds.
Little did we know that we would finish undefeated after the first day of qualifying rounds and that we would end up being a alliance captain for the elimination rounds.

I'd say we did pretty well considering our robot's arm was an after thought (we used it to score a tube once) and our lift wasn't able to lift other robots (not strong enough). So somehow we ended up being the highest seeded rookie team and a finalist with a "brick on wheels" as we like to call it.

Defense was our strategy, and it worked well because we didn't have omni wheels, so we couldn't be pushed around, but we could push others around.

Better to be lucky than good.

Re: 2007 Wisconsin Regional

Awesome competition all around!

I was coach/tactician for Team 537, and let me tell you those last two matches were crazy. Good job to all teams that participated, and we're happy to welcome newcomers like 2169 and 2196 into FIRST.

Re: 2007 Wisconsin Regional

Our team was picked by Alliance 3. We could tell Edina (Alliance 2) wanted to pick us, and were going to. I'm sure if we went with Alliance 2, we would have won. Fo sho.

Re: 2007 Wisconsin Regional

Those were some great matches. We were allied with 1816 and 2129 and went up against 537, 2194, and 2169 in the semifinals, but tragedy struck for us when the BaneBot transmissions on 1816 went out during the second match. They still were able to deploy their ramps in the third match, but it was a tremendous blow to be without their awesome defense.

Re: 2007 Wisconsin Regional

yes it was intense, being a rookie team was tough. We lost a transmission right before the finals and also a battery box and our plexiglass broke during the finals all of wich we fixed it was insane. We Went way further than anyone on our team could have imagined our low tech ramps and two wheel drive paled in comparison to other bots but the first place finish was amazing. i would have liked to compete in the semis against a fully opperational team it would have been more fun. Fondy fire and charger robotics were amazing alliance partners and exactly the teams we wanted to have. all in all it was an amazing weekend.

Video from all of the elimination matches is on The Blue Alliance Match Archive System courtesy of SOAP. For the rest of the matches, results are available without video. You can search by team and check out other competitions as well.

Enjoy!

Re: 2007 Wisconsin Regional

The final match was really fun to watch! It almost made up for the fact that we got yellow-carded and came in dead last Oh well, at least our driver had fun with that, though I yelled at him until I was hoarse for getting warned and doing it anyway. We gave some transmissions to someone, though, so maybe that evens out the robot that we apparently broke?

I'm not sure if anyone came by our pit, but if anyone wanted information on Arial Homes, just send me a message or an e-mail at radioactivhamster@gmail.com and I'll get you the information. We're hoping to get lots of FIRST teams involved - basically all you do is say that you'll build a home and you're supplied land and materials! It's a great off-season activity and it looks awesome on your team resume. We're hoping to build one million homes in 10 years so we'd love any help we could get!

Re: 2007 Wisconsin Regional

This was 2047's first regional, and we were really pumped after all was said and done!
The last match was spectacular, we were on the edge of our seats!

We were 16th in rank, but we would've climbed higher if one of our cables didn't unhook in our last qualifier.

This was definitely one of the craziest things I've ever been a part of, and I can't wait until the Chicago regional starts!

We were really embarrassed when three members came back to the hotel with the XEROX Creativity award from Friday. Our mentor was pushing us to bed early each night, so he sent everyone back to the hotel before the final match. The only people left was our pit crew, and I heard that it caused quite an upset in the stands when only three members walked up to the arena

Congratulations everyone!

Has anyone got video of Match #69? My team was awesome in that one (we scored 5 rings on the bottom by ourselves!) and our driver from that round really wants a copy so he can see it. Thanks!
