Do the last three first!

Wow! What an amazing regional! You know what they say about Texas... Everything is bigger, including the stacks and scores. It was really inspirational to get to know so many wonderful people and teams. 3467, Lambots won RCA and it was so deserved. Them and the Bears, 5415 - RAS winners, were a fun group to be around and had an all around great performance. We really appreciated all the help from the local teams, including 118, the Robonauts, who lent us a solenoid and fitting for our unused can grabber. We completely forgot to return it and the end of the event... We'll be sure to get it to you in St Louis. Congrats to them and 624 for pulling off the regional win hat trick this season. Finally i'd like to thank our alliance in playoffs, 4587, Jersey Voltage, and 57, the Leopards. To put up a couple of scores in the 200's was quite special and semis match 6, was unreal. Hopefully we will see you all again in St. Louis.

Abhishek has been woefully deficient in posting the links to the excellent video they uploaded, so I'll just leave these here:
Lone Star F1
Lone Star F2

I notice they don't have SF6 uploaded yet, which they actually lost. I smell a conspiracy... Or a really tired team.

Sorry, I wasn't the one uploading them. On my WiFi, they'd probably get done in a week. I think Justin got the finals up then went to bed - I actually fell asleep right when I got home Thanks for posting the links, I didn't even know they were done!

SF6 is now up as well it seems.

Wow, what a season for Team 624. We've always had an amazing experience at the Lone Star Regional, and we would like to thank all the volunteers, judges, and referees who make it possible.

After being finalists for several years at our home regional, we were ecstatic to be invited to the number one alliance led captained by Team 118, The Robonauts. Despite the similar architectures of our robots, they seemed to complement each other pretty well. We also appreciate all of 3728's hard work and collaboration in those playoffs matches - we couldn't have won our first ever Lone Star Regional without the help of the Iron Pandas.

A huge congratulations to the finalists. 701 is a mean green machine, and it's no mistake they've gone far in every regional. 4587 is probably one of the hardest working teams out there. Having gone through a complete rebuild, they're now looking to make claims for the top ranks of #TeamTether, along with their Dallas counterparts from 148 and 1296. And we are excited for Team 57, who has finally qualified for Champs, with a beautiful intake, that landfill will be gone in no time in St. Louis.

Congratulations to Team 3478, Lambot. The Texas teams appreciate your annual appearance at the Lone Star Regional, and the Chairman's Award was very well deserved. Your spirit and outreach efforts are second to none, with a beautifully made video to cap it off.

Congratulations to Arthur Purpich on his WFFA, from 3103 Iron Plaid, and Chris Hansen, on his Volunteer of the Year award.

Thank you to Team 1477, Texas Torque. If I ever had to declare a single team as a "class act," it would undoubtedly be 1477 every year. It's no surprise as to how strong their program is, and thank Mr. Rip for all his help each year (we won't forget that coopertition!).

Thanks to all the teams and volunteers for making Lone Star the best regional around, once again!

Abhishek is right, once I got home I set the video to upload and went to bed. It was such an exciting event, but also very tiring. Thanks to all of the volunteers that made it possible!
