2007 Philly Regional

I loved the energy everyone had there though, despite the fact that it was a bit lacking near the end of the 3rd day. The socials between teams off-field were also really fun. I do enjoy dancing with people from other teams (no offense Dawgma).
More importantly, there were some really intense matches, and everyone was getting into it.
That was one of the most fun things I have ever been to, and for that, I would like to thank the 43 other teams for such a great regional competition.

A little late, but a huge thanks to 1712 for making us the third pick and 484 for joining our alliance. We played hard and had a great time! Congrats to 1712 for their success in qualifying rounds.

Biggest congrats to 84, 341, and 181 you guys were a great alliance! 84 you had some some amazing defense on the often forgotten ramp bots. I know first match of th quarter finals you slowed us down enough that we couldn’t get home in time to deploy or climb our alliances ramp. 341 and 181 you guys had it together scoring.

Also a congrats to one of the rookies of FIRST. I don’t know if anyone watched the progression of 2223, but they got better with every match. Not bad for not having a robot ready to compete when they arrived! This team didn’t have any type of manipulator, but they could play some good defense.

Also thank you to all the volunteers for making this happen.

For all you teams that didn’t get enough come join us at the 10th annual Pennsylvania Robot Challenge (PARC X). We’re looking to make it the best ever and having as many Philly teams as possible would be a really great start! Good luck to all the rest of the season!

Does anyone have video of alliance selections?

Im sorry it’s a little late, but congratulations to MOE for the Chairman’s Award. Thanks for the selection as well. Sorry we couldn’t make it a three peat between the teams.

100% agree with what was said above.
Daisy and BOP, it was an honor working with you.
I could not wish to be with a better family then Chuck 84.
And of course, see everyone else that the BIG DANCE!
