And if you are craving something sweet for breakfast, Daylight Doughnuts has some great doughnuts and 99 cent large coffee! It's maybe 2 minutes away from the competition.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

We have several BBQ places here. Whistle Stop is one of my favorites. It is located about 10 minutes from the venue. Frozen D's (Frozen Delight) is a great place to eat serving ice cream and burgers. Mattie's Café is on the square two minutes from the venue. That would be your greasy spoon. They serve a good line up for breakfast. El Almacén (The Warehouse) has authentic Mexican food very good. The Bulldog is another local favorite about 12-15 minutes north of the venue in Bald Knob. They have great burgers and ice cream as well. Also in Bald Knob is Who Dat's Cajun Restaurant. FroYo is a great place for frozen yogurt after hours. Brick Oven pizza has a great menu, a little pricy, but there pizza is outstanding. We have a Japanese steak house here called Fuji's. They have both traditional seating and group seating where they will cook right in front of you. You can order from The Mixing Bowl and pick up dinner or lunch. They have some of the best Southern Style food I have ever tasted. There is also a good Italian style eatery called Pasta Grill. And of course, we have all the fast food and chains: Sonic, McDonalds, Burger King, Little Ceaser's, Chili's, Colton's, Quiznos, Subway, etc.

Hope this helps out!

I see where the Lowe's is located.
Any recommendations on other local sources for hardware, aluminum stock, and other robot material?

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

Does anyone have information about a live stream of the Arkansas regional? With so many teams traveling from out of town, I'm sure there will be a lot of interest from friends and family back home.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

Gavin, we will have a webcast.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

Excellent! Thanks Meredith for the prompt reply. Our team can't wait for the event!

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

There is an Ace Hardware across town.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

Will there be a machine shop on site?

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

We have a Fastenal open to the public located just two minutes from the venue. The Lowe's is located 8 minutes from the venue. The Ace Hardware store is located approximately 8 minutes in the opposite direction. There is a Tractor Supply store close to the Lowe's. All these stores are within 8 minutes of the venue.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

Yes, the machine shop on campus will be utilized. It is less than a half a mile from the venue and we will have a constant stream of parts coming back and forth to help with demand.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

Right. Three hot scoops of ice cream.

;)

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

Does anyone know if a machine shop will be available? At least a drill press and a couple of decent saws would be really nice. If not, no big deal, but I want to make sure we plan accordingly.

Thanks to all involved in setting up the Arkansas regional this year.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

Here ya go! From their website I can tell that the University has at least a band saw, and some mills and lathes.

Re: 2014 Arkansas Regional
 

Would anyone attending the Arkansas Regional be willing to trade shirts? I have a couple of SPAM shirts that I would be willing to trade. They are all large, fun (black) shirts that I have from the past couple of years. PM me if you are interested. I look forward to volunteering at a new event (for me), and see you all soon :)
