work hard, play hard ;)

I'll be back at work on Monday morning after this regional. Can't say the same for my parents (head ref and scorekeeper) they might require a day of recovery.

But I think the idea is that it means the students take fewer days off from school. Most students won't be driving and if it comes down to it, can get a bit of sleep on the drive home.

Team 5332 Toaster Tech will be there! Our first year having two regionals:eek:

Re: 2015 Georgia Southern Classic Regional
 

1746 is signed up! We are really excited about going to two regionals for the first time since 2009!

Still plenty of work to do on the robots over the last two weeks of build season!

Re: 2015 Georgia Southern Classic Regional
 

832 will be there. Looks like it's shaping up to be a great event! Lots of states represented. See you guys there!

Re: 2015 Georgia Southern Classic Regional
 

Team 233, The Pink Team will be there. It will be the first week 1 event for the team, at least in many years.

I just got around to booking a room for this regional and got an extra bed. If there is anyone who wants to split a room, PM me.

Re: 2015 Georgia Southern Classic Regional
 

We're getting back at 11:00 on Sunday and have school the next day. Should be interesting.

As a newly employed person, I don't think you understand how valuable vacations days are.

1311 is going :)

Re: 2015 Georgia Southern Classic Regional
 

I hope everyone is excited for GSCR. Along with the debut of Recycle Rush, GA FIRST is going to be debuting its new entertainment format, Gametime. Akin to what you've seen in Orlando and at Chesy Champs, Gametime will provide the audience with a chance to learn more about the teams, the region, and GA FIRST.

Our commentators, Jerry and Annika, will be joining our emcees and game announcers to bring everyone match analysis, discussion of FIRST related topics, interviewing key figures in FIRST, and interviewing teams about some of the cool things they are up to.

While the event is gearing up to be a great show, we need your help!

If your team has something interesting to talk about, let us know by filling out this form. The Gametime crew will review your request and contact you if we choose your team for an interview.

See you all at GSCR,
- Sunny G.

Gametime sounds great! Where will we be able to watch it?

Re: 2015 Georgia Southern Classic Regional
 

There’s no shortage of heroes who are going to brave the weak one storms, and you’ll find your share in GA at the Georgia Southern Classic Regional.

1311, 1648, and 1683 are just some of the notable attendees that are representing the Peach State. All three teams have been dominant forces in GA, whether on or off the field. One way or another, I think we’ll be seeing all three teams playing on Sunday evening.

It wouldn’t be a GA regional, if we didn’t have our out-of-state friends. From the south, 233 and 1902 are bringing their south beach talents, and hopefully weather, up to Perry. These teams hardly need any introductions, and if they get going early, teams in GA may just learn what it means to play with true powerhouses.

However, GA is where powerhouses are put to the test, and our friends from the Carolinas always help make sure of that. 1319 and 3506 are both looking to take home their own peace of the peach pie.

But the playing field in GA isn’t hard because of the incumbent winners. In fact, it’s always the teams you won’t expect who always come back to beat you qualifications, slip their way into the playoffs, and ultimately hoist the trophy at the end of the event.

Team 1002 certainly fits that bill. Having shown less than stellar performances for the past few years, 1002 has struggled to regain its former glory. However, considering that 1002 finished their robot a couple of weeks before bag day, expect to sprint out of the gate.

Team 1746 hasn’t been to two regionals since its glory days in 2009. Otto was da original MVP by hosting a field for all the local teams to come out and play; but that was four years ago. Otto may not stack up against its former self, but a second regional and clean design may mean that this GA celebrity is starting to get back into the game.

Re: 2015 Georgia Southern Classic Regional
 

We are still working with our contacts to work out exactly how integrated Gametime will be into the fabric of the event, but if it all goes well, you should see Gametime on the big screen (or the main regional stream).

I'm pretty psyched to get down to Perry to referee. I hope to see all your lovely faces bright and early Friday morning to play some Recycle Rush! (I'll be fresh off a 3.5 hour drive!)
