2012 Spokane Regional

[Doug G]

It's just a few days away, who's ready for the new regional at Spokane, WA? Team 701 just sent off it's trailer and is flying up on Wed for this "cool" new regional. Washington has seen tremendous growth in teams these past few years and were are super excited to check them out.

294 coming up for the first time. I don't recognize any of the numbers (In a different state? Who would have thunk?). Who's the local powerhouses to watch out for? Also, what's the story on all these teams in the area? From the map on the website, it seems like the area is very unusually dense with teams, similar to LA and Michigan, is there a reason for that?

The local powerhouse to look for is 1983, who were finalists in both portland and seattle but lost to the triple balance both times.

As for the amount of teams, I believe the state sponsors alot of teams, and strives to create new teams. The amount of rookies in the state have EXPLODED in the past few years.

This looks to be a good regional to watch. I wish luck to all teams, but especially past alliance partners and friends on 294, and 2122.

Well our crate is at the university loading dock and our shooter is boxed up and ready to hop on the plane. We look forward to meeting you all. It has been a while since our team has done a travel regional and we are super excited. Though the snow forecast is not as awesome as we were hoping for!

See you all on Thursday!

Congrats Skunkworks! That tele-op shooting looks great!

The Skunks are in need of a bigger trophy case.

Congratulations on the RCA! A 2nd Blue Banner to go with the win (congrats to the Tator-Skunk-Bulldogs? alliance).

And another Best Website (3 for 3 this year!).

But wait, there's a FIRST Dean's List Finalist too!

Well done, Skunks!

Thank you so much, I followed the Oklahoma regional and was excited at the end of it when you not only won the regional, but chairman's as well. We've both had great seasons and It will be exciting for both of us to compete at St. Louis representing the West Coast!

Thanks PaW,

Your Chairman's win last year and your continual website perfection acted as a stimulant for the team, it was clear we needed to step up our game if we wanted to perform in those categories at 1899's level.

Indeed congrats to Skunkworks on a job well done and on setting a high bar to measure to. Your organization is enviable and inspires and encourages others to excell as you have. Kudos.

Team Tator as well - way to go Idaho!
