Hello from Syracuse, NY
 

Our rookie team (891) will be going to the Canadian Regional. I hope to see all of you up there. Being the last regional, I hope our robot, if it ever be finished, will not rust while waiting for the competition.

I wrote a VB program to monitor and record data from the Dashboard port. It should help debugging, calibration, and driver training. Please download it from the White Papers area of this web site.

If it helps, please don't forget team #891. If it doesn't, I will deny its existence.

Peter, is the Canadian Regional the only regional your team is going to? Or are you going to others?

Being a rookie team, we decided to go to only one regional. We might go to more in the future.

We are also only going to the CR.

I was talking to Justin from 188 a while back about a student run tradition. What do you think? Something fun quirky and only for and run by students.

Ive been trying to think of something but cant, perhaps if there is a hill by the venue we could go grass toboganning.

Throw out some ideas.. and you Toronto guys, let us know what there is near the venue it might aid in some creative thinking :D

Hmmm...you could organize a game of soccer with the yellow Puma balls...or not.

Grass toboganning sounds terribly silly. I like it...

Forget soccer... Ultimate Frisbee!

Whoa!
Ultimate is definitely the way to go!!

Are college students allowed to play too? Or just HSers?

Ultimate frisbee is from what I hear a tradition at nationals. We cannucks have to come up with something new and crazy.

I will ask my team members, tons of freaking loons there.

An idea?!?
 

Just to throw something out in the open.......... Our team doesn't travel with a football. We sit during lunch and at least go outside and play catch or something. It gives us all a chance to get out doors before going back into the competition. Just a thought.

All other onther one..... One year we were at a rest stop and we started playing hack with a spirte bottle. There are at least two hacks carried by our team as well. Indoor sport that can be played at the hotel as well!!

opps!!
 

I meant to say WITHOUT a FOOTBALL

While were on the subject of hotels, where is everyone staying?

Home :D

Crossing the border......
 

Our team had to cross the border......... Not bad though only four hour drive!! :o)

Victors
 

Greetings from Team 907, East York Collegiate Institute

Our team is running short of time -- we need one more victor! If any team in Toronto, Canada is not using a victor, we would appreciate one more.

Thank you,
Brian
