2007 Colorado Regional

[pirates]

ya that was a great finals set! right down to the line, a few times nobody really celebrated until the final score was posted because it was too hard to calculate who actually one with all the ringers and lifting at the end. We made it to the quarterfinals, our lifters worked about 80% of the time time, but we kept having the same alliance partners throughout the qualifiying matches and the ones that were not compatible with our lifts the first time were still not compatible the second or third time or drivers were not skilled enough to line up correctly, so that was kinda a bummer. I wish there would have been more variety in the alliance pairings (but the few precious times we had robots that did fit and when nothing on our bot was broken sure was awesome!). But anyways, in the quarterfinal matches one of our alliance teams got on but then fell off because they just didnt fit well on in the first place, and then the other team (159) nearly caught on fire, but it was so much fun and everyone was so nice I still had a blast and couldnt believe the 2nd seed alliance actually wanted us for the finals. Thanks everyone, it was a great regional still and we had lots of fun! Definetly my favorite year out of the last 3 for our team.
