Our team needs to fundraise the $5,000.00 by tomorrow. So far, we have 1.5k dollars. We may go, but it's highly improbable :(

Personally, no.:(

teams: both (1135 won't be FRC; they'll be FLL 127 and FTC 542), 330 as L.A. champion

Just make sure I get a Kil-A-Bytes's shirt!

I'm not sure if we're bringing extras or not... I'll ask.

I know we're distributing team awards in Atlanta and giving a team shirt might be a good idea as well...

Come to think of it, I think we were lucky to get enough shirts to cover the team let alone have some to trade/give out...

At any rate I'll ask. :o

JackN
04-04-2008, 22:19
I am planning on going. Would anyone be willing to trade some shirts, I have shirts from both team 494 and 70 that are available to anyone who asks.

My team is going this year. Personally, this will be the first time I myself go to Atlanta, even though I started last year, so I'm excited.

I wish, but living in California it's just too expensive. But hopefully we'll be able to get a team qualified next year and will have a chance to go.
(pssst....FIRST.....if you could lower the entry fees so its not so expensive, it will be easier for schools like the one we are going to be working with to go)

yes sir, if i could transfer to Chicago, i would go there, but i can't, i'd have to book rooms for at least a night plus transportation. :-( if they would tell me what time the GICC would open, i could plan my day around that

I'm happy to say my team will definately be going to Atlanta :D.

I would just like to mention that most of the people who ever read this thread are probably people who are going to Atlanta. Otherwise the poll would read 85% no 10% yes and 5% maybe :o.

Poor College Student, Nuff said.:D

I wish I were able to go back to Atlanta but classes and money are major problems for me. Oh well, I have wabcasts and NASA TV to keep me up on current events, well at least matches any way.

I've got to miss Thursday for a function here in Columbia (it only took five seasons for a conflict to happen), but I'll be working FTC on Friday and embedded with 1398 on Saturday.

KathieK
06-04-2008, 17:27
I'm there, along with the dude in the hat.
I'll be on Edison and Franklin working on Thursday and Friday (with the BEST VOLUNTEERS IN THE WORLD!!!); attending the NEMO Annual Meeting on Friday.

You can bolt and barracade the doors. You can bar the windows. You can even set up a 20 foot laser grid across the perimeter. But you will never be able to keep team 1126 Sparx away. We'll be there!

basicxman
06-04-2008, 18:44
lol we're not going to atlanta, heck i probably won't even be doing FIRST anymore seeing as they kind of just ruined FTC for my team :(

LeelandS
06-04-2008, 18:52
Hey, chin up. It can't be that bad. It can't be so bad that it makes you want to quit FIRST. Just calm down. Keep pushing at it and overcome your problems!

artdutra04
06-04-2008, 19:05
I'll be in Atlanta as lead scorekeeper for one of the FTC divisions on Thursday and Friday.

On Saturday I'm probably just going to enjoy the competition.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know!Drive yourself, ride Amtrak or Greyhound bus, or bend space-time to the point of singularity and you'll just poof into existence in Atlanta.

The FOLEY FREEZE sadly wont be making the trip to Atlanta.so we could try and make it two years in a row on Einstien. Due to lack of funds and we had to qualify ,which we almost did. We came up a little short in the finals at the Great Lakes regional . Good luck to all who is going, have a blast!!!!!!!! Hopefully we can go to IRI if we get picked. That will be our CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!!!!!

MasterRobot
08-04-2008, 01:41

I will be going along with a few other chosen members of the team to see what it is like at Atlanta. Our team hasn't been in a while (I think 4-5 years), and since our robot didn't perform well enough, we are just coming down to check out the event.

synth3tk
08-04-2008, 10:16
Anyone up here willing to stop and pick up a spectator? I really want to go just to see what it's like. I'll pay any transportation, hotel, and nutritional fees that's needed.

Kyle Love

Guy Davidson
08-04-2008, 10:27
Yup. For the first time in five (I think) years, Paly Robotics is going to Atlanta. Come say hello! You'll probably find me at our pit, in the practice field, on the field, or staring at another robot.

I'll be there, probably dead tired Thursday from driving to Atlanta (It's 8 hours from Melbourne, we're aiming to get to Atlanta for Midnight...hopefully).

You can find me in stands and at the web hug. (I might be in the pits...occasionally...)

How long do they take to approve someone in VIMS? Did I wait too late to volunteer?

BJT

Interesting poll, about 80 percent say they are going to Atlanta, when only around 20 percent of teams go. Gives you an idea who reads this forum.

Team 1086 Blue Cheese Robotics will be at Nationals, keep your eye out for us cheeseheads! We can't wait to see everyone there!
