Results of the Wisconsin Regional March 15, 2009Again, we would like to thank all those who both participated and helped the team at the Wisconsin Regional. We would also like to thank those sponsors who visited us in the pits, the stands and for all the input they gave during the day. We were very happy to see a large turnout of not-team members and team alum who came to see our robot, pit and our matches. We hope you enjoyed your time at the regional.
We ended up placing 9th at the end of qualification matches, but after a few picks, we became the captains for the 7th alliance. After using up our time out to attempt to change a motor that burned out in the prior match, we ended up losing in the third match of the quarterfinals.
In regards to that, we would also like to thank Team 93, New Apple Corps, and 2338, Gear-It-Forward, for being such great alliance members in the elimination. We would also like to thank them for their help trying to fix our burned out motor before the third match of the quarterfinals.
Next stop… Atlanta, Georgia for the FIRST Championship Event, April 16th-18th.

Midwest Regional is Over! March 3, 2009First off, the team competed wonderfully in the prestigious Midwest Regional. All went well in terms of the robot (no major fixes, Yay!), scouting, and all the parents and volunteers who helped out. We were able to see what worked and what didn’t and hopefully we learned from the experiences gained. We also:
Overall, the regional went extremely well, but we still have a few things to work on for the Wisconsin Regional, March 12-14, for which we will be having a meeting Saturday March 7th from 2pm-approximately 7 or 8pm. ‘Till then, have a great week.
