Steve, I just caught a glimpse of you on the webcast – the coif is in fine form, I must say! 
It seems that 1114 had a radio problem that no reason was found.
Tip: If the webcast goes all slideshow on you, just press stop and start, rather than refreshing the page.
Hooray for 2 of my teams (1141 and 1565) beating another of my teams (1281) in the 2nd last match!
And congrats to 1141 for steadily climbing the ranks to #12! They might get to pick for the first time in their history!
edit: #13 final position!
Talk about tense are you nervous on tv?
Good job Steve!!!
Like ya. They were after me all day. Finally had to say yes.
here we do, just like waterloo
I am not sure but that looked suspiciously like an alliance selection where every one actually knew what they were doing, I am impressed. Every one at least had a pick list.
Also is it just me or does every one love Where’s Waldo?
Does anyone have a list of the alliances? I’m guessing 2056 went with 1114 and 1334 with 854.
seed pick1 pick2
2056 1114 176
1334 610 2166
1305 854 1241
1312 296 1141
1846 1503 188
1901 772 1680
1006 379 48
1404 1482 773
It’s pretty crazy after going to waterloo, when you read the 2nd-pick list for GTR and realize that they are all very effective robots. 176, 48, 1680 are all SECOND picks. That’s crazy.
Karthik + Strategy = Great TV \m/…
Nice TV interview on the 48 control system. Clever, naming your ramp deploy switch the “Viagra button”.
sf 1.1 and sf 1.2 should be GREAT
That was a joke from the mentors…I didn’t think they would actually do it…lol:D
QF3-2 = awesome match.
QF3-3 = another one. 
DEE-Fence is rearing its head …
This regional is intense. Will the alliance #1 be able to win? Or will there be a surprise like at the GLR? We will know soon 
that rack was packed up in that match, as i predicted sf 1.1 was GREAT
LMAO!!! Did you win a technical award for that?? I sooo want to see that name for it called out in the next FIRST: Behind the Design book. lol 
And… w00t! I hear some techno bagpipe music!! LOL YAY! GTR always has the best music IMHO. lol
I have to give some props to Karthik for that awesome commentary. That was as good as any sports commentator. I hope Discovery continues to cover events with this format. So far, I’ve loved it.
Great job everybody, I loved watching this broadcast, the Discovery Channel really knows how to do it!
I particularly enjoyed watching the alliance of 1006, 379, and 48. Seeing teams gun up ELITE’s ramp brought back chills from the Buckeye regional (291, 48, 379).
As exciting as the matches were, the highlight in my mind has to be 48’s interview on their control system, I was behind the lexan with 48 all throughout Buckeye eliminations and I never noticed the “Viagra Button” :ahh: .
Great job to everyone who competed and to everyone who helpd make the regional and broadcast happen!
Is it me or did the webcast just skip the first finals match? The FIRST website has Red winning 126-62.
