2012 Bayou Regional
 

18 days in till the Bayou Regional in New Orleans!

We are looking forward to seeing the usual locals, lots of rookies and some visiting TX teams. The teams list is on the Bayou site (http://www.bayouregional.info/teams.asp)

So who is excited? Anyone want to post some photos of their robots? Any predictions on how it will turn out?

I'm really excited for Bayou this year, I haven't been since it's first year. I'm inspecting this year and can't wait to see the competition.

I'm super excited for Bayou Regionals this year. :D When I saw the game at Kickoff, I was ready to jump on it. Last year was amazing, and I believe this year will be too! I appreciate the site info, I was curious about the scheduling ^.^ I want to spread the message of First

624 is excited to return! We attended in 2009 (Lunacy) and had such a positive experience that Bayou is the first "away" regional to which we'll be returning... Ever.

You can see a picture of our bot HERE and video HERE.

I'm excited to be a college mentor and help 3411 out in a few weeks at Bayou. There are many rookie teams this year, so we all need to help them pass inspection early.

Re: 2012 Bayou Regional
 

I'm very excited to be attending Bayou and all of the competition webcasts are just making the wait more exciting and unbearable.

Re: 2012 Bayou Regional
 

I think I saw some 418 members at Alamo. Were you there scouting for Bayou and Lone star too ;)?

Also my question about where to eat was never answered ;__;

Re: 2012 Bayou Regional
 

This year's game is fairly harsh in several aspects, we like to watch a Week-1 regional up close so we can know what to expect. All teams had problems of robots running up on balls, it was almost a guarantee that robots would put balls under the bridges (only GatorZilla could remove them if they were close enough to the edge), and it was good to see if teams would try to make use of the Key to draw penalties (like 1477 was a master at doing).

418 loved going to the Alamo Regional, we had our Lead Technical Mentor (me, Danny Diaz) as ScoreKeeper/Field Power person, and our Head Coach (Tony Bertucci) was one of the Lead Robot Inspectors. Several team members came down to watch, to size up the competition and the robot capabilities we will need to match.
