10,000 Lakes Regional 2010

[Sunshine]

As noted, Team 2062, the C.O.R.E. will be there and we look forward to seeing all of our new friends from Minnesota, 'eh.

I think that Moore Robotics should make a plexi-glass Axe similar to the Paul Bunyan axe. I'm sure you get my drift.

Let the games begin ................

The axe would be a fantastic idea. We could definately fit it into the awards ceremony!!!! We could give the axe to the winning alliance captain and engrave the team numbers of the alliance on the axe. They would hold on to it for the year and bring it back and present it to the winning team next year.

That would certainly be cool. Especially because Wisconsin's upping Minnesota 2-1 right now . When you say Wisconsin, you've said it all! If my understanding of plastics is correct it would be trivial to laser engrave team numbers into an acrylic axe.

Though I can see it now... decline after decline just so that teams have a chance at holding the axe for the whole year... this might require some thought

Two of the 10,000 Lakes regional winners from last year were from Wisconsin, and the last was from Minnesota. So Wisconsin has a 2-1 "lead" on Minnesota.

Oh... wow. I can't believe I didn't get it earlier.

If I remember correctly didn't the same thing happen at the North Star, or was that 2 Florida teams and 1 Minnesota?

Northstar had Florida (79), Wisconsin (2970), and Minnesota (2549) represented on the winning alliance.

The first Minnesota regional had Wisconsin (93), Iowa (525), and Minnesota (2518) making up the winning alliance.

[ehochstein]

Ah so the total score for Minnesota is

Iowa - 1
Florida - 1
Minnesota - 3
Wisconsin - 4

Hey Minnesota! Wisconsin is beating us at our own regional!!!

There are (at the moment) 76 teams in Minnesota and only 28 in Wisconsin!

edit: 100th post! yay!

Oh, so the Packers are now some sort of cult? Odd, I already thought they were mainstream in WI.

At the risk of ruining the joke, I think he's referring to sports teams being watched / rooted for religiously...
