I don’t know anything about Team 60 this year (I couldn’t even find a picture of their robot, sad because they always have good ones).
I have not heard about anything going on at Castles and Coasters for this year, so don’t count on anything being there for it. Currently the forecast is set to rain various days during the Regional, and if it finally does rain that would probably kill the thing anyway.
And it’s okay; we’ve never had a practice robot, and we always seem to come out just fine.
Wow! I see on the rankings Canada’s being represented quite well in Arizona by 1006 and 1241… 1006 is currently undefeated and in 1st place!!! 1241 is up there as well, awesome!
Nice job teams!!!
Does anybody have any pictures of Team 60?
I just heard via word of mouth that Cyber Blue 234 received 4 of the 6 awards given out today - Website, Imagery, Entrepreneurship, and the Regional Woodie Flowers Award to Chris Fultz.
Congrats you guys!! Can’t WAIT to watch tomorrow on NASA TV!!! 
EDIT: It’s confirmed, link here: http://www2.usfirst.org/2006comp/Events/AZ/awards.html
WOW. Great job and congratulations!!
330’s alliance scored 99 in one match today.
I have pics of 60 but I can’t get them online until Sunday. Cory, it has your wheels but gold. It has your same gearbox as last year. It is not dom9nating but is doing quite well.
Not quite. The word on my team is that 1006 lost their first match. I haven’t seen the standings myself yet.
I forgot i had NASA-TV so i’ll start updating here soon.

Try checking here… http://www2.usfirst.org/2006comp/Events/AZ/matches.html …periodically for updates.
Thanx- I’ll do that
Can someone please keep us posted. I cant get anything on NASA TV, and the usfirst website isnt being updated.
I could not go because of an exam I had on Friday, and now I am nervous as heck.
Your help will be truly appreciated.
Thanks.
WOW!! 1006, 60, and 1897 won!!! They beat 987, 1241, and 1917 in a tiebreaker. That’s awesome! I know 1006 hasn’t won a regional before, and to have two Canadian teams (1006 and 1241) in the final is awesome as well. Well done guys!
Any updates on the awards?
Congrats to 1006, 60, and 1897 alliance and 987, 1241, and 1917 alliance
Congrats to teams 1006, 60, and 1897 for winning the regional!

All of the awards are up on the FIRST site, and all of them are correct. The rankings are also up, they are official and are all correct.
It looks like the webcast failed for everything part way through the quarters; are team video taped all of the playoffs (I will confirm this), and hopefully I can post up the videos online so they can be viewed.
Most of the semi-final and final matches became autonomous mayhem; teams kept aiming robots to ram opponents, and opponents kept changing autonomous modes to try to dogde them and still score.
The only field errors that I saw occur at the competition happened during the finals, where the first time they ran a match the red goal did not light up in autonomous, and the second time the blue alliance did not initialize.
Thanks to team 330 and 599 for picking us; it was a great time in the playoffs. We lost in the semis to the later Regional Champions in 3 matches, where at first we thought we won the 3rd match but then the score was changed after reviewing the awarding of a bonus (from what I’ve heard they reviewed whether the ball fired from our robot that landed in the center goal was out of the robot before the buzzer, to determine who won the autonomous bonus). It was a great series, and the refs did a good job of calling all the matches out there.
Thanks everyone for a great AZ Regional, we’ll see you all next year and hopefully we’ll get enough money to see you somewhere else too!
