I would believe so, it is 1PM and it is a waste of disk space to be recording the powerpoint.

148 is truly a beast! It is amazing to watch it in action, standing right next to the field.

Undefeated today, and I don't see any way to stop them.

We over at 3310 are having a BLAST at regional. Being a rookie team, we've been making all the rookie mistakes (Not checking all our power cords, no mounting the bridge all the way, and forgetting about that stupid autonomous code that comes stock on the robot)

By round 6 we were all fixed up, everything worked, and we showed what we could do. DEFENSE. I don't know how many people actually scout rookie teams, but we're extremely large. Even when we flipped over we were still blocking the other team. With three more rounds to go, we home to show that our incline, and kicker also do as they should and hope to show everyone that we can play some "D".

Come stop bye and say hi tomorrow, were the big wedge shaped robot with the "H" on the hood. We love chatting with veteran teams, and really hope to show that now (Since were all fixed up) we can actually play this game competitively.

GOOD LUCK!

Let me tell ya, you guys have the perfect makings of a second pick.

Not to mention yall's enthusiasm and positive are definitely things that can be helpful on an alliance.

I like my prediction from two nights ago:

I can see 1429 and 1421 maybe pulling off an upset though. You never know.

Congrats to 148, 2016, and 1817 on there regional win. An awsome and unstopable alliance.

Thanks Stogi. If we had been one seed higher, we would have picked them. I had already talked to them, but we ended up just behind 456.

We ended up with a great alliance of 704 and 2352. Its hard to stop a beast.

Amazing - bringing home 3 pieces of hardware: Chairman's, Winning Alliance, and Engineering Excellence. You guys really made New Jersey proud. The alliance of 148, 2016, and 1817 complemented one another nicely. I especially liked your far field autonomous. It was simply awesome. The best I've seen to date. Your hang is simply elegant to boot.

Yep - You are going to Atlanta. What's better, I won't have to pay for Tyler's air ticket!

Congrats to all for providing a wonderful tournament.

Thanks, we had so much fun down here. Everyone was so nice. 148 and 1817 were great alliance partners, couldn't have done it without either.

In the finals I had nothing to do out there. 148 and 2016 moved almost all of the balls into the offensive zone in autonomous mode leaving me with nothing to do but watch them score. They had one of the better alliances that I have seen. We still had fun playing y'all in the finals and were excited about going to Houston. GREAT JOB 148 2016 and 1817.

[JohnSchneider]

WHEW we are blown away. Rookie All Star? HECK YEAH! We are all still in shock over here at 3310. About match 8, 148 came over and mentioned that they had seen my post about wanting to get noticed. They wanted us to get noticed. They allowed us to use our design to it's fullest potential which earned us a pick for an alliance (Oddly, had we not been picked by 1296 and whomever they were with (Sorry way too much adrenaline to try and remember numbers) 148 would have picked us.)

I'd say Rookie-All-Star, and just the THOUGHT of being useful by a team like 148 gave us a bit of pride and we were able to go home with our heads held high. We could not ask for a better first FIRST event. Thanks to all the other teams for your support and encouragement. You made this special for us.

I'd too like to congratulate 2016. Extremely impressive work, especially on your chairman's award. If you guys don't win chairman's in Atlanta for all you've done, somethings rigged. Your outreach was top-notch and your teams willingness to help others was inspiring. Great job.

That being said, See all of you guys in Atlanta

[LLM]

And, 2016...all I can say is, "WOW!". Good luck in Atlanta. You are an amazing team! So glad we got to know you guys.

Thanks Matt, for all of the compliments. Having nothing for you to do in the finals was exactly what we wanted . Your scoring ability was formidable and we needed to shut you down. The alliance of 1429, 704, and 2352 was a great and well rounded alliance, y'all did great.

Congratulations on being a Dean's List Finalist, Matt. Your dedication and hard work for not only your team but for the mission of FIRST makes you very deserving of this honor, great job.

We had a great time in Dallas. Thank you to the RPC, judges and volunteers who made this event happen. The robot play was amazing to watch, and the spirit was contagious. We made some new friends and got to see some old, and came home with some wonderful awards. We are especially grateful for Dean being honored with the Woody Flowers. He was a great friend, teacher, mentor and human being. The world is a better place for him having been here to touch so many live, young and old alike. It took us about 23 hours to make it home to Paola, and we were all exhausted, but we had a blast, and look forward to seeing "you all" again! Congrats to the finalists and winners. Thanks to our wonderful alliance partners. And, 1817-keep on dancing!
