They will be a solid entry at VCU, and if they can maintain the consistent play they should be an alliance captain for the second time this season.

Spot on LF, my team was the 3rd seed alliance captain. Thanks again for the mention!

Let's hope somebody gives 2199 and 40 spots in the Championship in the same division so they could hook up again! Those are two VERY dangerous together! Only 45 and 234, or 1114/148/217 last year.

Here's a plug to the strat crowd.

At the end of qualifiers, 1195 had one of the highest OPR's and CCWM, and their alliance had the highest combined CCWM. Just shows you that the numbers are right some of the time.

Looking forward called our fate at Philly pretty well. We were hoping to challenge his predictions again, but oh well. What a great event with a bunch of amazing teams!

Uh-hum, we were alliance captain. Although 624, was definitely the lead scorer and had a great machine. 2173 was great at getting empty cells, definitely saving us a few rounds.

Indeed, 1477 was the #1 seed alliance captain at the Bayou Regional. Both of our teams had great robots, and it turned out extremely well for all of us.

2173 was instrumental in helping win the regional with their unfailing ability to transfer empty cells, and in both 1477 and 2173 the people were amazing!

In any case, it was an amazing regional (marching band anyone?) and I cannot wait to see 1477 again at LSR this week.

My sincere apologies. As the person in charge of finalizing 2815's pick list (all of our kids were busy doing other things), I wasn't paying much attention to the teams who seeded higher than us (and thus were unpickable).
