I know!!! Been forever for us… we are just awesome enough to get the first and last week regionals haha… withdrawl to the 100000th power haha

And what is this sleep thing you speak of!? :eek: We have a meeting at 7:30 tonight… and who knows when it will go to. Then we have to pack up the cars so even later. And then I have to get Chairman’s stuff together along with many other things… this sleep thing is a word unknown to me lol. Just look for the either half asleep 102 member tomorrow or the more than hyper one… that would be me :cool:

Sleep is one of those variables that you have to account for when your the main operator of a 120 pound robot =)

#23

Hm! Seems all the bots are working well! And according to somebody I know, 102 seems to be doing a lot better =D Go 102!

#24

Any LI Regional Status?

Pleeeeeeease… :slight_smile:

#25

229 in 1st 8-0 I think
234 in 2nd 6-1-1

Sorry I don’t have more but I didn’t take notes.

#26

1st day results are on the FIRT web-site.

Really nice to see Paul Cotrone and Scott Schuler getting the volunteeer awards. Two truly deserving folks who give tremendous amounts of their time and effort for Long Island teams.

#27

The algorithm that decides the alliance pairings seems to be flawed this year. We were against team 234 for the first 3 matches, and were paired up with the same ramp bot for 3 rounds strait. Both situations were quite irritating.

#28

There’s been much discussion about this since the very first week of Regionals. FIRST has been working on it but it’s still looks to be a work in progress.

Adapt and overcome

#29

527 was doing pretty well. Not quite as fast as 234, but still one of the top three or four tube scorers there, IMO. Phil just needs to learn how to respect the power of the ramp bot. :wink:

229, 234 & 545 You guys were an excellent alliance. It’s great to see Division by Zero back on Long Island again. Also great to see a Midwest team, and a very good one at that, make the trip East. Have a good time in the Big Apple on Sunday.

229 While I have to admit we were happy to be on the alliance in the semi-finals that gave you your only defeat in a match the entire weekend. We’re glad that you were able to win the whole thing once we lost to you.

1601 Aviation High School you really worked hard to get the Chairmans Award and the results speak for themselves.

Overall a very good Regional. The Long Island Regional keeps improving every year. Dual emcees and a better layout of the venue for the pits and the audience were a plus.

OK now where did I put my aspirin, throat lozenges and BenGay…

#34

Does anybody know where I could find the video that they played at the start of the opening ceremony both days of the regional, the one where it was like, something + something = something and had that techno-ish music in it? I could really use that video.

#35

Long Island was great. Congrats to all the winners! And I hope those who didn’t win anything still had an awesome time. Hope to meet some of you guys at Nationals!!! :slight_smile:

#36

I would just like to thank everyone for being so nice to us down there, and congrats to the alliance gave us our only loss in the semi’s.

#37

Congrats to the 5th seeded alliance who gave us our only lose of the Regional.

Thanks 234 and 545 for accepting the invitations to join our alliance.

Congrats to everyone else for a good regional, especially 102 and 1601 for EI and Chairmans respectively

#38

Team 358 thanks Team 1203 for choosing us with the second pick and Team1688 for rounding out our alliance.

Team 358 would like to congratulate Team 229, Team 234, and Team 545 on their excellent championship alliance.

Finally, congratulations to Teams 1601 and 102 on Chairman’s and Engineering Inspiration.

#39

Great job teams, congrats 229, 234, 545, you guys where great. We had a great time, and unfortunately we were unable to bring in 3 SBPLI championships in a row :rolleyes:

#40

I would like to personally thank two teams, 358 and 1594. 1594 came over too us after we had just beat their alliance in order to wish us luck and ask if there was anything we needed, it shows real heart and love for the program to be able to do that, and I hope that our team one day exemplifies the spirit of FIRST as much as you girls do. I would also like to thank 358 for cheering for us after we had just beat them for the regional win, you guys are an awesome team, and we had to fight for the finals.

I would also like to thank 234 for being and awesome pit neighbor, an awesome all around team, and an awesome offensive machine, we could not of done it without you.

Last, but certainly not least I would like to thank 545, you were the first ramp robot on our list, and we could have never made it as far as we did without your defensive capabilities and those awesome ramps. You guys were the steal of the regional in my opinion.
