Re: Kettering University Rookie Competition

This is the same field that was at Midwest and will be a Detroit and Great Lakes I want to compliant the fabulous rookies. I sat at the pit admin desk for the entire breakdown and only had 2 kids who were bored say something. They each played approx. 14 or 15 matches and 1 even released magic smoke!!! I was so blessed to be able to work with them... I made friends from all over and I hope we can do this again and again.

Re: Kettering University Rookie Competition

All I have to say is that none of the teams from the comp are rookies anymore. At least not in my eyes. They were amazing. They all had impressive robots.

I also have this to say. As I was helping que teams up, i noticed that a lot of the teams were already either on theirs way out of the pits, or already in line.
Aside from a few unfortunate robot accidents, it went smoothly.

The person in charge of queing was amazing, and I'm not just saying that because I know her. I have never heard of having a 4 hour delay, ending on time and completing all of the matches, and not adding on any extra time. It was amazing.

I can't wait to see how they are going to perform in the next two regional. This is turning out to be a very interesting game.

Re: Kettering University Rookie Competition

When I see red tails I listen for that zoom you guys always did. Keep up that passion.

Best of luck to the competitors at their next competition. I saw teams that I would hate to have to play against and would like to have on an alliance. I bet some of those teams will go on the be the next generation of stunning robots out there.

I have to agree that the winner of this regional is actually every team there. They got up and showed everyone that they may be young but they can roar.

Congrats

Re: Kettering University Rookie Competition

The competition went great yesterday, there were some really amazing machines there. I have to say 2337's kicker was my favorite, no other robot had the crowds going that wild every time they tried to hurdle. Keep up the awesome work at your other regionals, and good luck!

Re: Kettering University Rookie Competition

Forgot to include Team 1506 in the list. Metal Muscle is actually Kettering's team and they helped man the food booth and machine shop. Kudos to the vets and rookies or should I now call you rookvets. You all were impressive.

Re: Kettering University Rookie Competition

Our team enjoyed the competition and, despite not doing as well as we had hoped due to various complications, they had a great time. I, unfortunately, did not, as I was stuck here in Ohio with 15 inches of snow outside... oh, joy... It went well, we got things ironed out, such as our front caster wheels (had to replace them, they kept coming off), and we learned Fluffy can withstand being toppled onto her side. It was sickening to watch, even on video.

Re: Kettering University Rookie Competition

Big thanks goes to all the organizers of this event!! The competition was very intense, especially when considering that this was a rookies' competition.

Great work teams!

Re: Kettering University Rookie Competition

I would like to check with any of the teams there to see if they would mind if I posted some pictures from the competition. If no one objects I will try to post pictures of the robots doing something cool. (2337 shooting over the players station maybe)

And in the topic of the competition, what was everyones favorite moment?

Re: Kettering University Rookie Competition

We had a great time, and I was very impressed by the quality of the robots and the teamwork on display. Everyone in the pit area was courteous and willing to lend a hand (or a laptop, as the case might be).

We were very pleased with our robot's performance (we had the autonomous mode to beat ;-), and we're looking forward to regionals at Ypsilanti.
