Looking forward to hearing all the national anthems. I hope the regional planning committee factored enough time into the opening ceremonies, hah!
For those of you who weren’t yet aware, The LVRPC officially announced today that pit setup will be permitted on Wednesday evening, 3/30 from 6-8pm. Also note that we are using the second floor of the South Hall at the convention center, so ramps are used from the load-in area.
Team 4276 is looking forward to seeing you all in Vegas!
I was going to make a comment about the Netherlands team, but they’ve dropped.
That means 10 of 49 teams are from outside the USA! This is going to be fun.
More outside the US countries will be represented than states! Plan to be standing for a good amount of time during Opening Ceremonies each day. That is a good thing.
One thing to note, the team from Germany is from a US school on a US military base. I’m not sure it we would sing the National anthem for Germany, but something to keep in mind.
3200 will make their first trip to Vegas. This could be the toughest event the team has ever competed at. We look forward to competing against some top teams.
Since the webcast is through youtube will you be taking the audio feed directly from the announcer? Since if there is any background music there is a chance that youtube may block the feed.
What a fantastic regional! Team 842 would like to give huge thanks to our partners 987 and 3965 for great matches in eliminations. Definitely could not have won without you guys! A special thanks to 987 for also winning a well deserved chairmens award. Also shoutout to 5199, 295, and our Arizona friends team 60 for a solid match in the finals and qualifying via wildcard. Now to gear up for championships!
Team 4276, the Surf City Vikings, had a blast at Las Vegas. A big thank you to all the teams who helped us place 3rd overall (our highest ever!!!). And thank you to the judges for recognizing the hard work our students put into the robot by awarding us the Quality Award!
An extra big thank you to Team 2144, Gators, and Team 1661, Griffitrons, for accepting our alliance invitations and giving it all you had in the quarterfinals!
And congratulations to Team 987, The High Rollers, on winning (again) and **earning **the Chairman Award, and to Team 3128, The Aluminum Narwhals, for **earning **the Engineering Inspiration Award.
Hopefully we can return to Las Vegas again next season!
I would just like to thank all the officials and volunteers that made the Vegas regional a great one! I loved it and I think my team agrees! A great thanks to team 987 for selecting us for the final matches. It was great being on the same team along with team 3965! Maybe we will get another chance to be on the same alliance at Championships. Here’s to being in the same division and making it to Einstein! Thanks everybody! We will be back next year!
As always, 5012 had a great time at Las Vegas! The new venue at the convention center was great. Thanks to the planning committee for making Vegas one of the best run events that I’ve ever attended. Shouts out to all of the teams who made this a truly diverse and competitive event.
Special thanks to teams 5851 and 5049 for joining us on the #4 alliance. This was the first time we’ve ever captained an alliance and we couldn’t have asked for better partners to join us on this journey. 5851 - you guys have a great high goal shooter that we’ve had our eyes on since Los Angeles. Our scouts were shocked to see you last so long in the draft at LA, and we were ecstatic to be able to play with you this weekend. 5049 - We’ve been pit neighbors at Vegas three years running. It’s been awesome to see you grow as a team and improve the quality of your robots. Thanks to both of you for a fun trip to the semifinals. It was exciting to see our alliance bring the tower down to -5 strength!
Thanks and congratulations to our friends on team 987 for their regional win and well deserved chairman’s award! 987 is one of the nicest teams you will ever meet. We definitely look up to them and their program.
Thanks to team 842 for taking the time to explain your scaling mechanism to a few of our students. It’s super simple and fun to watch! Can’t wait to see how well you do at champs!
