Equally as impartial as you

but, I saw all regional web casts last week; and I called a buddy in phoenix/FLR/VCU. We all agreed, San Diego finals was more exciting.

Don't believe me? Watch all three matches, they were all close and were decided by last minute plays. Unfortunately 330/294 got entangled for a good 30 seconds.

Finger Lakes final had the X-cats manipulator break and need a replacement robot brought in, then the second match was nearly the last match but a penalty let the Blue Alliance win, then in the final match there was an 8 point difference in favor of the Blue Alliance but they announced that there was a penalty... For like five minutes the whole stadium was tense until they announced that it went against the Blue Alliance and so team 20, 191, 174, and 2053 were the winners. Very exciting to watch.

The one thing I notice about this game is that it's pretty bland during qualifications but is electric to watch in the elims. Especially from the semis on. It's probably going to be amazing to watch Einstein this year.
And just imagine how IRI is going to be!

I have attended three regionals this year (STL, DET, KPRC), watched one (SVR), and watched part of one (SD) and I would say Detroit was the most intense. Detroit is always one of the loudest regionals, and this year with 217, 27 and 47 all being in the finals I thought I might go deaf. Couple that with four of the most historic teams in FIRST (469, 217, 27, 47), the amazing hurdling that was going on (RUSH getting 6 in their second match, 217 getting 5 both times), 2 WFA winners coaching against each other, the Number 1 alliance showing a ton of GP taking a timeout so "217" could work on their robot. It was intense with 27 making one of the greatest last second plays I have ever seen and all six teams having some of the best driving I have seen this year. These matches were so hard fought the carpets were basically torn to shreds on both ends (I think we might need new carpet for WMR). This was one of the greatest matches I have ever seen, and all six teams should be commended for putting on an impressive show.

Definately San Diego. Every single final match was so intense, the teams participating in the final matches all had world class robots. I remember packing up and hearing final scores being announced, all over 80. Very impressive regional.
