oooo ya, just to think a week from right now, we will be in practice rounds. I can't wait

I can't say that I'm very psyched about nationals, every compitition I go to I'm treated like the team (insert demoralizing descripton here). I don't get to do what I want to, and I'm thrown around like I don't deserve to even be there. I humbly do every thing I'm told in the hope that my patience will pay off. It really sucks to be considered a nerd among nerds. Picked on in school, pick on in what I thought would be my refuge. Life is depressing when your an outcast.

Well, 6 days, 19 hours, 20 minutes to go... I'm ready. Are you?

For this being my first national competition... YESS im pretty psyched.. it seems like as closer we get to the day, the slower the days become.. but the day will come!! yay! :D

6 days and 8 hours I will be in Houtson. I am soooooooooo excited!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!! And now that the divisions r out im even more psyched. Just remember to not forget about school:) C'yall there


~SHANA~
P.S. Victim of Fate cheer up Nats r always great. and if u truly feel like this why don't u tell ur advisor. In FIRST everyone is put on equal playing fields of opportunity so unless its an advisor/mentor I don't think anyone has a right to yell @ u.

Well not too sure what time the Michigan Tech team will be rolling in. We are leaving from Houghton Michigan at about 10pm Tuesday night with hope of making it to Nationals before pits open Thursday. I guess according to MapQuest it is like a 30 hour drive to get there. Should be exciting, a great time builder and of course a great chance to talk about strategies about all of the teams and divisions. Can any one bet the 30 hours bus drive for trying to get to Nationals? See you all as soon as the bus gets there...

Duude, guys, it's almost FRIDAY!! That means that we have the weekend, then only two days of school before we leave!!! Ahhh!! I'm telling you, I can't sit still, I'm so excited!! Come by our pit (team 461, that is) and check us out some time. We have a badazz scouting database that you are all welcome to use :) Oh, and I will be around scouting those in our division, so I look forward to seeing you!!;)

5 days 12 hours ~40 minutes til we leave!!!!!:yikes:

Championship Fever!
 

Team 610 is looking for some competition out there in the Curie division! Lets get ready to party!

The BIG Dance is on next week!

Only 4 days, 20 hours until we leave for Houston... Whatcha gonna do when we come for you?

who's psyched?!?!
i think the question should be, who isn't psyched? and i think that is just impossible

ROBOTS ROBOTS ROBOTS!!!

Woo i am doing 3 weeks of robots in a row... We were in chicago last week and right after school I am driving upto my dads house in michigan so i can drive to grand rapids in the morning and see some crazy robot action at the west michigan regional! then next week i leave for houston!!!! ROBOTS ROBOTS ROBOTS!!!

LETS ALL GO NUTS AND STUFF!

Ohh. About 3 days 16 hours or so til I leave my house to go to Houston. We have an ~9:45 flight out of Bradley and then switch in Pittsburg.

nats is going to kick butt 4 2 reasons
1) its my second year on the team but my first year going to nats
2) the board of ed 4 our team originally said that it was too dangerous to go on any off long island trips and cancelled all off island trips about 2 weeks ago
but on tuesday night the whole team got a call saying the boe changed thier minds and was letting our team goto nats

so in short nats is going to be nothing but pure robotics fun
:]

Approximately 116 hours until team 814 will be in Houston

:D:D:D
