2007 Greater Toronto Regional

I missed it also.

yes it did…It kinda caught up a little…it sucks that they skipped it though.

the webcast caught up to the chart…the chart was ahead by a good 7 minutes…you could see who won way before the match was cast.

Congrats 2056, 1114, 176!!!

crazy stuff…

Discovery Channel… great job… maybe Karthik needs to get in touch with them to be thier man host :wink:

There needs to be a Canadian Crown or something similar to the Triple Crown for Waterloo and Toronto…:cool:

Same from where I saw it.

I missed the first finals match too… All the sudden people were taking stuff off the field :frowning:

Congratulations to 1114, 2056, and 176 for winning the regional, see you guys in Atlanta.

Congratulations to 771 on the regional Chairman’s Award. :slight_smile: A great program, having a great year with the win at Waterloo last week and now this well deserved recognition.

(I am wondering how, during their otherwise excellent webcast, Discovery Channel Canada missed the opportunity to interview some of your team? Maybe I just missed it?)

Congratulations to 771 on the regional Chairman’s Award

Where’s the party at? :stuck_out_tongue:

Congratulations!

Good Job 771 for winning the Chairmn’s award. Good Job

The party must still be going on – 771 doesn’t have far to drive to get home from Mississauga.

I hope they’re partying, because they’ve earned it! Good luck finding them. :smiley:

Figures, out of all the things we’ve said over the years in support of FIRST in Canada, the one thing that gets aired on live webcast TV is our “Viagra Button”. :stuck_out_tongue:

I only put that on there after the kids nagged me to do it and I finally started to think it was funny. :smiley: By the way, the kid interviewed was our OUTSTANDING driver, Johnny Pasco, who still never ceases to amaze me with his relentless ability to stick to robots like glue. I know he had Greg Phillips from 1114 scared. I wish we could have set up the offense vs. defense matchup I was hoping for. Stupid tread…:o

Congrats to all winners - it was a great event!

“For the want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for the want of a shoe the horse was lost; and for the want of a horse the rider was lost, being overtaken and slain by the enemy, all for the want of care about a horseshoe nail.” – Benjamin Franklin (usually attributed)

I have no idea what caused it - it was a clean, straight rip all the way through. We checked the tension of the treads between each match and it hadn’t changed. We were pushed sideways a bit when the offenders fought back a bit in earlier matches - maybe that was the start of it? Oh well, considering other teams’ issues with Brecoflex over the years, I like the success we’ve achieved with them.

i knew the belts were going to fail soon on you guys when i saw your driver try to turn into the bot that was pushng on your side for the entire match, a few matches earlier. When it happened i was not surprised but thought, i shoulda come down and told you. O well stuff happens and the regional was great to see and all. a lot less of a drive then others i knew to get home too.:stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

First I’d like to congratulate 771 on receiving the Chairman’s award.
I’d also like to thank teams 2056 and 1114 for choosing us to be a part of their alliance. We worked very well together.

Does anyone know if we can get a hold of that video they showed at the beginning of the elimination rounds.

I can probably get you a copy of the video.

I am working on splitting up all the matches from GTR, and will try and get the eliminations up as soon as I can… but a month of robotics means I have a little bit of school work to catch up on :ahh:, so I may not get all the matches up for a week or so.

Just a note…does anybody know where the video of 1547’s interview is? I never actually got a chance to see it besides part of it on a little moniter before I got interviewed…
