what did your team get at regionals? i’m only asking now cause most of them are over.
team 360 got the Imagery award at the Pacific Northwest regional for, and i quote, our “innovative use of zipties.” but i think it also had something to do with the kung fu fighting hamsters, the zipties in the hair (yes, as hairpieces), the zipties on the safety glasses (i had my ziptie duct taped to my forehead), our sprayed hair, enthusiasm, team spirit (and i quote, “they may not have won every match they were in but you always knew they were there”), and that kind of thing. we were one of the only two party teams too… us and team 383 - the brasilians! those people can party til the day comes, and so can we.
Team #269 Cooney/Quest, won the Xerox Creativity award at the MMR, they liked that we could grab 2 goals, pick up balls, and had 2 drive systems. The announcer still needs help with our city lol, we are the cheeseheads from Oconomowoc!!
We got the Imagery at VCU, and the Regional Chairmans at Drexel(Philadelphia)

Team #383 got the Judges Award and the Winner Trophy at the Pacific Northwest Regional, and we also got some great new friends from #360º, the Revolution. Incredibly cool people!!
Leadership in controls award for our expirimental “Blind Drive” system which will let a blind person drive the robot and provide feddback to the driver from the robot.
And…
Winners of NYC FIRST with teams 358 (the Titans), and 549 (the Devil Dogs) Thanks again!
UTC here we come!
Epcot here we come!
Yet another Odd (numbered) Florida Bound Team!
Team 357 won the Leadership in Control Award at the Lone Star Regional. The judge was impressed with our claw design and how it was automated by “smart code”. He had built a similar claw at his engineering firm.

We as you have seen in these posts thier alliance won the regional. Teams 753 and 833 were called to recieve thier medals. We applauded, we cheered. Then 383 was called. We jumped to our feet and gave them a standing ovation. They had that much of an impact on the other teams. I honestly can say it couldn’t have been better unless it was us with them. We had mixed feelings as a team. Our new friends the X-bot 488 and local team the Titans 492 were against them in the finals and yet I know we all felt the same way.
The award was deserved but more importantly I believe we all got to share in it.
Hats off and bow to The Brazilian Machine. Hope to see you next year.
Imagery…eventually we will figure out how we were chosen

Team 86 won the Xerox Creativity Award for our sound system. We have the sound system wired to play different sounds through out the match, mostly Pac-man sounds because our robot picks up balls much the same way Pac-man chomps the little flashing dots. I’m sure you guys who will be at Nationals will heaar us, it’s hard not to, the on stage crew asked that we turn the sound down… hehehe.

862 recieved the barking dog award from 249 (thank you by the way) for our resounding AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAs and alas that is our only award, but also our most prized posession much better than finalist or anything like that and by the way if you recognize the AAAAs from florida last year that was us 465
new sponsor = new team number
and if you are wondering why we are typing so much is that we all lost our voices at WMR. AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! coughcough ow, the pain. We’ll be ready for nationals though. We are also thinking about playing super capture the flag with other teams in epcot/magic kingdom/mgm. Anyone interested?
