Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

I would be extremely disappointed to see, at ANY regional, a repeat of what happened at GTR. That was inexcusable (though not agaianst any rule I could find, at least not yet). It is within your rights not to cooperate if that might lead to a strategic advantage (I can see several scenarios where it might) but to hinder or attempt to unbalance a pair that has decided to cooperate is definitely not kosher.

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

yea, let's all compete with our utmost Gracious professionalism and play to win, not to make someone else lose!

Our team is probably going to be camping out that practice field a lot to do some tests, just a heads up (we'll leave if someone else needs it, but be warned, we'll need it a lot) :P

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

I think the practice field is going to be a mess, and if it's anything like the pathetic setup that we had last year, it won't be worth camping out on. Regardless, I think you'll find camping to be a rather futile effort since the sign up sheet usually fills up in about 30 seconds, especially on Thursday/Friday mornings.

Hi everyone,

Let's all make a pledge to ourselves to have an awesome time at the Peachtree.

Georgia is one of the fastest growing areas in the country with 17 rookie teams at the event.

So what does that mean. Let's all go out and see what we can do to help these rookie teams get off to a good start. And it also means that the venue will be 'COZY' !!! And next year we hope to have a bigger venue...

But for now let's go have a good time.

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

If we have the same growth next year, we may need TWO regionals to accommodate that many teams :ahh:

Oh boy, the fun at volunteering at two Georgia Regionals next year would be on epic proportions.

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

A northern Georgia and southern Georgia regional? Interesting.

Team 1771 just finished our last day of practice, today.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Peachtree!

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

Good News,

Even though we have a record number of teams this year, and even though there is going to be a very large military exhibit in the hall, along with an enclosed NASA machine shop, we will again have our full practice field! It will be the same one we used for the scrimmage, with real playing elements. The only concession to the critical space needs is that one end of the practice field may be pushed up a little closer to the wall than we would like, but that should only affect inbounding on one end.

See you there!

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

Growth is a a good thing!! In the 5 seasons since I left Georgia for Minnesota, we have gone from one regional to having 3 this year, with 64 teams at each one. And we need to add another one next year. I'm challenging Georgia to get out there and catch up to us!!

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

This is great news! I imagine we're not the only team that needs to tune a shooter (or two, in our case), and a full field should allow a few teams to do so simultaneously. Big ups to the planning committee for making this happen.

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

I'm taking a day trip to check things out on Saturday with some students. Of course I'll be glued in front of a webcast on Friday too. Good luck to all teams. Peachtree is one of my favorite regionals.

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

A 1002 alumni will be hosting a programming workshop on Thursday at 4pm. The workshop will be mainly about Real Time operating systems and efficient ways for real time robot programs to run. We have very few seats, so space is limited, but the lecture should be very informative for all team programmers.

We only have 13 spots available for the lecture (The speaker is not comfortable with large crowds). We will have a sign up sheet in our pits.

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

Sorry to say that your defending woodie flowers and Chairmans award team First team 122 will NOT be returning this year. Our home regional is the same weekend as this year Peachtree Regional.

Re: 2012 Peachtree Regional
 

Anyone have a copy of the real match schedule?

Towards the end they said that the released schedule was wrong, and now I'm getting a 404 error on the FIRST page...
