Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional

Those were some amazing matches today.

To me though, the number one surprise team for this was team 1000. When I first saw it, I didn't know what to think. It just seemed too simple to be effective. However, they did manage to be one of the least scored on teams and a reliable empty cell herder. Not to mention they could push with the best of them. I never could figure out though, what was their secret? Was it the fact that their weight was so low? Was it just that their driver was awesome at dodging? Anyone know if there was a secret or what it was?

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional

PantherTech would love to thank our alliance partners 868 for picking us and 1024 for also working with us! Man was that a fun alliance to watch and be apart of. Can't wait to see you guys in Atlanta.

We would also like to congratulate 234, 45, and 461 for three awesome matches. You all have very effective robots.

Thanks to the Regional committee members for putting on the regional, as always the team had a blast and enjoyed participating in an event close to home.

Also a shout out to 451 Cat Attack for cheering with us during the elimination rounds. Thanks you guys! I cheered with you a couple of years ago when you won the West Michigan Regional, and I guess things circle back!

Congrats all teams! We'll see you at the Championships!

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional

First I wanted to say thanks to all for everything! I had a blast.
With that said, the TechnoKats were haging out in the parking lot for almost an hour after the awards, and we noticed a laptop case with a corporate laptop, a purse, and a hoodie left in the parking lot. If this is yours, I dono the contact process, but we submitted it to the regional lost and found.

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional

I can honestly say "I never expected that to happen".

I was in awe that 1024 was picked since their rank was extremely low, but they got everything fixed and when game time came they showed everyone what they can do and how well they can do it. (ps that means they got their A-game going!)

BMR was full of upsets including the 8th alliance defeating the 1st alliance, and the 4th alliance beating the 2nd alliance. It was a very unpredictable turnout!

Congrats to the winning alliance, and good luck in Atlanta! Show them that Indianas got game!

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional

From 2867,

I'll say that it was an awesome rookie year experience! It was really cool to work with the teams there, and some of the stats that other teams kept up were amazing. One team even predicted fairly accurately how much we would win by....

The brackets were fun to watch, and the final matches were the most exciting.

Good job to everyone who was there, and thanks for making it a great end to our season. Looking forward to next year!!!

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional

God, great regional.
We were dissappointed since this was our only competition this year, first time that 2081 hasn't qualified for nationals . We were hoping to get the engineering inspiration award again but w/e. 2081 is going to be a powerhouse soon, when they were talking about the "team of only a few years that seems to be established as the rest of them" while regarding the chairman's I'm pretty sure they were talking about us. I expect a chairman's award in our near future.
Good job to 135 1000 and 829! as well as the Winners

This is a great year for Indiana teams. With teams on the winning alliances at Buckeye (1747), DC (45, 234) Boilermaker (868, 292, 1024), St. Louis (71) as well as the Finalists at Buckeye (868, 1018), Midwest (135), and Boilermaker (45, 234, 461) among other great competitors, I think Indiana ought to give some teams up north *cough* *Michigan* *cough* a run for their money (yes I'm aware of the repeats and I may have missed a couple).

Also keep in mind that the seeding system is not perfect. I was actually surprised that 1024 was not picked earlier. Despite their ranking by seed, their performance was actually pretty good. However, the upsets in the eliminations were quite epic (even though I was on the uhhh... more undesirable side of one of them). Hope everybody's gearing up for the Championship, because I'm looking forward to seeing Indiana teams in Einstein.

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional

Wow, what a Saturday. I laughed, I cried, I kissed three bucks goodbye.

I'm really glad to see my team finally getting the robot dialed in. It always looked like it had the potential to score but just had a few missing touches. Congratulations to all the team members and mentors that made this possible!

1501: Never got to ask what was up with the shooter, but you guys stay classy. I've never seen such an aura about a robot before... beautiful piece of work.

868: Thanks for making the pick, and 292 thanks for being a great alliance partner. I'm glad we could work together and win it. Wooo!

45: Awesome outfits. Jake, Elwood AND Mother Superior? Genius! There should be an award for great team themes. Sweet robot too, loved the 600w fan, very cool.

111: I can't get enough of watching your crab drive. It's about as smooth running as your drive team.

234: You've got one rapid fire machine there. Definitely a force to be reckoned with in Atlanta.

Great job teams for making this a FANTASTIC weekend for all in attendance.

Woo!

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional

Who won the Technology award? The listed team didn't attend the regional. Also, 1501 won Imagery, correct? (Listed team--1510--wasn't there.)

Congrats to 45 for the Chairman's Award.

Thanks to 461, 829, 868, 1646, and 1741 for scouting with us at Boilermaker--it was a great help to have the best scouts of so many teams compiling data.

Re: 2009 Boilermaker Regional

Thank you 868 & 292 for picking us to be your 3rd alliance member. A special thanks out to the coaches, drivers, operators, and human players for working so effectively together.

Congratulations to all of the teams that made the elimination rounds for all of the well played and exciting matches. Thank you to 45, 234, and 461 for some of the most exciting matches of the event in the finals. By the way, you three make for one tough alliance.

To all of the teams at the event, nice job on designing and building your robots.
