For those who need info, I caught the webcast and the finals for Philly:
Teams 134.293 and 277 defeated 33,48, and 248 in 2 matches.
That was the 11/12 seed beating 1/2 seed for the record keepers

I was at the philly regionals, that was really something seeing the underdog win like that, it was great! Our team ended up getting into the elimination, and we got 4th place because the killer bee’s robot(33) was still functional when we competed, and we got outmatched by them. Our allie disabled it for the rest of the competition though, and that was probably the reason they lost. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and the team spirit and sportsmanship of all the people involved was really something!
Hope to see you all at nationals, I know you won’t miss our robot( M.O.E.) He comes painted the in the brightest green we could find!
