Wow, looking at it closer... only two rookie teams are registered. Not much competition for top rookie seed/rookie all-star

[T3_1565]

I think he means who's going in on practice day. Some teams send two groups of people: a smaller group on Thursday to get everything up and running, and the whole team on Friday and Saturday.

[T3_1565]

oh our team all comes to practise day lol we have a small team so... yeah

[1337Nerd]

Ya, I meant the Thursday group. Thanks for the clarification DanDon!

[T3_1565]

If you post yours I'll post ours lol :P

[Jay Trzaskos]

team 854 is coming again, and its gunna be sick! waterloo is by far the best regional!!!

...does anyone that is going to the waterloo regional have any extra bumper material that we could buy off of you? we had some trouble finding it this year. or else do you know of an alternate source we could find similar material? we need enough to cover three sides of our robot, about 8 feet of like 1 foot wide material or something equivalent.

[T3_1565]

does the colour matter??? we have extra but its lime green and sky blue lol.

and do you need any specific type of fabric??

We can help out if you have no problems with colour lol

[854 bears]

the colour really doesn't matter so long as it is at least all the same colour... lime green sounds sick tho.

as for the type of fabric it doesn't really matter so long as it is tough and durable, and similar to the type recomended.

how much of those colours do you have?

[T3_1565]

I would have to double check whats there, but I'm sure there is enough for three bumpers (at least in the sky blue). I can get back to you on Monday with reassuance for you, but we will bring it for you!

Edit: you will have to cut it yourself, because we don't know you robot demenisions lol :D:P

[854 bears]

alright... sounds like a plan! and thanks alot! if you don't mind brining it all that would be perfect. and im assuming its all similar to the recomended material?

[VEN]

We'll bring our cordura just in case.


Who's staying at the waterloo inn?

[Danny McC]

Good luck to all at Waterloo. I will being watching the webcast if there is one. Also, Good luck to 1535 on Chairmans. Take it guys. ^_^

[T3_1565]

uhhh I don't think it is like the recommended stuff, but it is durable all the same! we used it last year on our bumpers and they held up fine! We'll bring it, if you find better stuff its fine, but it will be there for you to use :D:D
