(Before the First Match)
The CT Regional had the distinct pleasure to welcome Woody Flowers, one of the founders of the FIRST Robotics Competition. He inspired a lot of us today. I know that I personally am going to try to spread the FIRST community to my intended college town, Rapid City, South Dakota. FIRST has been a great experience so far, and I hope it will continue to be.
(After Our First Qualifier Match Today)
First qualifier for us resulted in a win. Our minibot, and that of our alliance mate helped greatly. Let's hope the rest of the matches we have go as well!
(After Our Last Qualifier Match)
Our final record for the CT Regional qualifier, all said and done, was 5-5. Pretty good considering the situation we were in for our matches. We hope to improve that record if we get chosen for eliminations.
(After Alliance Selection)
After initial doubt as to if we would be chosen and then by who, we ended up being chosen by the alliance of team 716 and 181. We wish them them the best of luck, and the best of luck to our competitors. May the best robots win.
(After Quarter-finals)
After a tough 1-1 in the Quarter finals, our alliance managed to move onto the Semis. Great job to teams 714, 1124, and 176/555. You guys played hard. We wish you the best of luck if you make it to Worlds.
(After Being Eliminated in the Semi-finals)
Unfortunately, our run was cut short by a red card in our second round of the semi-finals. Congrats to teams 155, 195, and 1923 for making it to the finals. Good luck there. Thank you to our alliance mates, 181 and 716 for helping us get as far as we did. We couldn't have done it without you guys. Good luck if you make it to Worlds.
(After Finals)
Congratulations to team 195, 1923, and 155 on winning the CT Regionals. We wish you the best of luck in Worlds at St. Louis. Good job by 177, 175, and 1073 in the finals. Best of luck if you make it to Worlds.
(Awards Ceremony)
Though we did not win the championship, we did get recognized for our contributions to the safety of FIRST and the community. For more information please see: See Seatbelt Bill Congratulations to team 694 for winning the CT Regional Chairman's award. We wish you the best in Worlds.
(At The End of The Day)
With that, the Pirate's competition season is done. We still plan on participating in outreach programs during the offseason, so you will still be hearing about us. Good luck to everyone at Worlds and we'll see you back on the field next year. Go FIRST! |
