Geez, thanks.
Not sure about how our robot will be, but I can assure you some high caliber Hawaiian treats that we will be passing out for sure! :)

I'm really excited by the thought of having 359 at my first ever regional. Being an NJ to NY transplant, I've never been to one. A team as renown as 359 would be icing on the cake of an already exciting new experience.

Team 359's Chairman's Award video was the first one I'd ever seen. I was a freshman watching the 2012 kickoff stream, which featured 359's video as the 2011 Championship Chairman's winner. It was a nice reminder early on that it's about more than just robots :)

Thanks for the kind words. I hope that our opportunity to attend the Tech Valley regional happens this season.
We would love to meet and hang out with all the great teams from that region and the surrounding areas.

  • 2 from Brazil (1772, 5800)
  • 1 from Netherlands (5880)

After watching the inspiring interactions between US and International teams last year there, I can't wait to see what next March/April brings.

I dont think team 5880 is from the Netherlands. 'We' only have 2 teams and those are 5412 and 4481.

But i think the New York City regional is going to be one with alot of nationalities.
With:
1 From Brazil (1382)
3 From China (5451,5515,5815)
1 From Ecuador (5814)
1 From Netherlands (4481)
2 From Turkey (3646,5946)
2 From United Kingdom (1797, 1884)

So 10/32 teams are from far away!
Already hyped for that! :)

A new team that appears to be from a base in the Netherlands or Northern Europe.

I believe AE is a Military postal code so I think you are correct.

Yep! When we started with #4481 this team was already around.

They've been inactive for a couple years. Their last season competing was 2013.

They were playing under team number 2037 - Oranje Lions.

I guess they're starting over and from what I can recall it's a international high school for US Military kids. Same as the German team. (http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/3011)

We tried contacting team 2037 in 2013, sadly it was hard to get in touch! Let's hope we can bind forces and see what we can achieve here in the Netherlands. (Brunssum is right at the Netherlands/German border)

I'm willing to bet this Team is one of the positive outcomes of Frank and his team 3011's success in getting the DoDEA to give significant support to robotics teams associated with their schools. :D
