2011 Midwest Regional

[Peyton Yeung]

Midwest was so much fun. We tried to give Wildstang a run for their money in the semis, but their alliance was so powerful. I'm happy to get that first match off them and I think it surprised them. Team 45 will be preparing in the coming weeks for nationals and hopefully bring more pride to Kokomo and FIRST Robotics.

Congratulations teams 111, 118, and 3494

After the competition, I congratulated Raul (Wildstang's drive coach) on the win. He told me the TechnoKats' "serious D" in that first semifinal match had his driver scared.

I loved 45's post auto use of the uber-tube. They shoved it towards the other alliances home zone at the very beginning of teleop so that it was not only a nusance, but also a potential <G34> to the other team for herding the ubertube out of the way while possessing another game piece. An inspiration for all teams with a struggling autonomous.

Indiana had a GREAT showing with 45 (#4) and 2171 (#8) for being selected for eliminations after not being selected at Boilermaker. Another shout-out to 135 (#5).

No offense, 1675 did have a great showing including what sounds like a well-deserved Chairman's Award, but your seed numbers are all messed up. Being selected for the #N alliance is not the same as being the #N seed.

Congrats to all the teams on a great showing and an extremely competitive event. Can't wait until Championships!

Thanks to Illinois FIRST, the organizing committee and to all the volunteers for a truly great event! Thanks also to Wave Robotics, Team 2826, who transported half of our team down to this event.

Also, if anyone found a blue camera in a black camera bag, please PM me, as somone on our team lost one. Thank you.

This was a fantastic set of eliminations matches to watch. A number of fantastic alliances!

One Dean's list winner from 1732 has been identified in another thread, does anyone know the name, team number or both for the other winner?

I THINK she was from 2704, Order to Chaos, but I could be wrong.

Thanks to team 118 for the uber tube strategy. They told us about it in the qualifications the day before and it turned out to be quite advantageous.

That is a understatement, you had the whole team scared.

Wow. Well if Wildstang would ever like a rematch I'm sure we would happily oblige

I wouldn't be surprised if it happened. Hope to see you at St. Louis.

Excellent. Thank you for the information, and congrats to Diane!

Me and two of my teammates made the road trip to come see this regional. All the teams did great, it made for a very exciting elimination round! IMHO it is the most competitive regional.

Yes, I know. That was what I was trying to communicate through the seeding.
