i can’t wait flr has a great mix of teams

as dill-un of 1126 said flr is like a family reunion (but it smells different)

Good Luck to all teams…lets have fun day 2 of the FLR!

Ask and you shall receive, team 229 in action





I think that was the story of half the teams at FLR. I can’t recall so many teams spending the practice day working on the robot.At least 229 made it out of the pits once. Alot of robots we still have yet to see.

Haha…nice hat there. :wink:

I hope the tube was from your team!

How is the regional going so far??? What are matches looking like?
What are the standings?

I really want to know whats going on, how are the matches going? who’s looking good?

That happened in New Jersey also. It’s too bad that teams are not getting the practice time. This is much different game with 6 robots on the field.

Thanks so much to the judges that recognized Dr. Hensel as a Woodie Flowers Award Winner!!! Our team is really proud of his dedication to our team and his passion for the FIRST Program for the past 6 years!!!

He also had absolutely no idea that he was being nominated for this!!! Feel free to stop by our pits tommorow to read our essay about him!!

Yea me too. How are 1126, 1511 and 229 doing?

It was definitely an exciting day for qualifying matches. Many teams looked totally different after the practice day since we gave out alot of practice matches for this event. Many teams realized that their original setup either didn’t work or was not robust enough.

There is a core group that sticks out in my mine watching from the sideline as MC.
316 - Lunatecs - Awesome robust lift system
365 - Moe - Removed their ramp completely and is a quick scorer. Also has good auto mode.
1126 - SparX Great autonomous and controls (well deserved since it’s done by one of the best controls engineers at Xerox) They beefed up their gripper since it ripped off 2x.
191 - X-CATS - Very Fast scorer with a very robust machine with one of the highest scores of the regional so far. (They did an awesome job without my wife and I on the team this year.)
229 - Division by Zero - Nice manipulator and drive system but I have yet to see them deploy their new ramps that they built from scrath the last day.
467 - Awesome drives system and nice ramp
2228 - CougarTech - by far one of the best bots by a rookie team - I can’t say enough about them, very organized and great team in general.

The one thing I still never understand how some teams never play certain teams all weekend long?

But all in all the performance of all teams were amazing to see it’s still fair game to anyone - looking at the rankings alot fo good teams don’t get the recognition they deserve for the output of a poor alliance matching.

Our team is really happy that we won the Imagery Award with our Alice and Wonderland theme. That really made our day. We are on the slower side of loading, but getting them is is extremely easy. The team social was great tonight. The food, comedian was good, and I know know what songs I never want to hear again sung at karaokes in FIRST in Rochester. Tomorrow is the last day:-( Luck all!

Hey all,

How is the team from Long Island doing? Team Rice 870?
Good Luck to all of you and please Wish them luck from Longwood.
I hope this gets to them :slight_smile:
Thanks

I know someone recorded FLR on tv. And I know someone’s gonna give me a copy. Right?
