2012 Washington DC Regional

[EricLeifermann]

It will be behind one of the player stations, I tried to get the layout changed during our walk through of the venue with SRE, but the guy from SRE felt that the screen would be better behind a player station because then we could have stands on each side of the field.

I personally don't like having the screen behind one player station it creates an advantage for one alliance and it forces the crowd to turn their head away from the field, but the event will still be awesome no matter what.

Continuing with a new tradition that we started this year at the Chesapeake regional, GreenSTEMs and ERHS Robotics Team 53 are sponsoring a most improved team award, based on the simple net change in team rankings from 2011 to 2012. (Check my math!)

Improving from 57th to 16th for a net of +41 is team 3123, the Wildcogs from Owen J. Roberts HS in Pottstown PA.

Improving from 43rd to 8th, for a net of +43 is team 2849, Ursa Major from Hammond HS in Columbia MD.

And winning this year's award for the most improved team at the DC regional, improving from 58th to 14th for a net of +44 is team 2900, the Mighty Penguins from School Without Walls HS in the District of Columbia. A pizza party and trophy are on their way!

Congratulations to everyone on a great event, keep up the good work, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
