[omutton]

This is the Pittsburgh Regional Thread! Please update here and discuss. I think the Pittsburgh Regional will be awesome! See y'all there!

[Rombus]

Well, no comments here yet! The advisors of my team and i are heading there tomorrow to see this years competition in person for research in planning. If you see some 20 year old walking around in a green collared t-shirt and jeans say hi!

[Steve W]

This is my second regional. The new rules make an improvement. Don't be shy, come visit and say Hi.

Anyone know how Pittsburgh is going? Does anyone have what the final top 8 was, or what the alliances going into elims were? Any info would be great.

Can someone plz post the Top 8 and alliance partners along with how they did? The FIRST website isn't very helpful at this moment 9:36PM Eastern time

This is one regional they needed a webcast for badly.

I just got back from the Pitt Regionals. My team was the alliance captain for aliance #6. We could hardly tell who the other alliances were. There were so many technical difficulties there.

Bernie here from MOE 365 to give a huge thanks to our alliance partners 869 and 808, couldn't have asked for a more perfect alliance. We were the #1 alliance, second place winners. Way to go 128, 1249, 395, and rookies 1708, Pitt regional winners. Still jived from the great atmosphere of spirit there, awesome. There were many technical difficulties, but i hardly notice cuz when I'm not scouting I'm dancing. Gotta give a shout out to teams 1634 and 63. For all you other teams, if you're going to Philly or Atlanta make sure to drop by and say hi or even better dance with us a bit.

[Bernie]

Here are the alliances, not sure how to place the other teams since they don't play against each other and I don't know the points for matches:

1. 365 869 808 , second place over all
2. 128 1249 395 1708, first place
3. 291 48 49
4. 357 846 337
5. 188 47 1014
6. 686 398 306
7.1243 226 117
8. 379 1006 1185

All I have to say about Pittsburgh is WOW, that was such an incredible regional, there were so many great teams there and so many surprises in the matches. I will post all of my many many thanks and congrats later, I just got home from dropping a team mate off about 10 mins ago and I wanted to try that sleep thing i see people talking about here sometimes.







p.s Steve W is one of the coolest guys in the world and a great announcer.

Random Bulleted comments because I'm too tired to string together a paragraph.

- Pittsburgh is most definitely one of the hilliest cities I have ever been too.
- But They have an awesome Machine shop.
- MOE you guys were amazing. If I had to pick the best robot there It would have been you. I loved the tetra manipulator on 188. And 357 your wheels are a work of art.
- Lots of techinical difficulties. Had to redo alliance selections (starting with 1st round pick of 7th seed) because of a glitch.
- Parking was difficult.
- Food was pretty good. Better than some regionals I've been too. They had Ice Cream.
- Thanks MOE for picking us the first time around, even though we didn't get to stay it was a compliment to be picked by such a great team.
- Thanks 1243 for picking us the second time. I know we didn't win but we played well.
- Congrats to 1014 on the Chairman's award and to 63 for the Engineering Inspiration award.


(Will add more thoughts as they come to me)
