I'm sure Jack will be ready with his ferocious beast trailing right behind!

how?
 

And how do you expect to do that? lol

Whoa! the regional is mere hours away, and you know im gonna be there right away at 8. im bored, so now your gonna have to read my little amusing anecdote. I was walking towards Drexel to check things out since i live in Philadelphia, and the wind was blowing really strongly, and there was a lot of loose dirt and particulate matter flying around and getting in my eyes. So what do i do? Thats right, i whip out my safety googles, and bam! instand protection. The things FIRST teaches you:D . Oh yeah, stop by 321's pit to say hi, ill be the one wearing the safety googles:p :cool:

hey, like my team(222) always says... "SAFETY GLASSES SAVE LIVES!!!"

Ready to Roll
 

I just got back form the Volunteer's dinner and Drexel is ready for tomorrow's robot invasion. Just try and contain yourselves until the doors open (I'll let the crowd control people handle that). I look forward to inspecting all the great bots u made. I'll be the inspector with the green hair. See ya tomorrow!

So, now that the first day is over, what have you learned?

that you cant really bounce a ball on sand (franklin institute)

seriously though i had a great time, and hope to do well tomorrow. good luck to you all

Along with that, I watched a presentation there (tonight) on liquid nitrogen. They froze a rubber (I think it was rubber) ball in the liquid nitrogen and dropped it. That does not bounce, it shatters.

How hot a regional can be.. whew.. Drexel has been pretty hot in the past, but today was just brutal

Oh yeah- I also learned that Drexel still has the best team party.. Cheesesteaks, tastykakes, all the good philly foods! only scrapple was left out..

I was there, and i think that FIRST should allow the teams use Liquid Nitrogen on the robot to cool the drive motors during the matches while on the field.

I learned that there is enough time to do TWO leaps off the field, not just one, after doing the cool human player thing. Yeah not having a robot to run practice rounds! I also made friends on team 357, h-hey!

yeah... after you ditched your team... jk. Great job Emily.

BTW...did anyone notice any typical element of a MOE-attended regional missing today?

We passed out earplugs all day today but for what? I am losing my voice, so "Go MOE!" is getting progressively harder to shout. I need something to relieve my throat and appeal to my eardrum's upper noise threshold. What could solve this problem?
