Oh great. Considering you harrass anyone within an IM of FIRST normally, before a regional, it's gonna be bad.

I think I'll put up my away message. j/k :P

Listening to the "1812 Overture" over and over and over and over and, well, you get the idea.

And also wanting to play card games all the time.

My most important prep for the regionals is not to
throw up every time I think about the upcoming competition.

Even after six years and 5 regional championship
trophies I get myself all in knots thinking about what
we have missed or what we should have designed better
or build better or stonger or faster, etc.

I will feel a lot better (I hope) after the UTC
regional is behind us.

Before a regional i like to come home from vacation and discover that they have completely altered the robot on me and shipped it so i have no time to practice. it gets me pumped.
