I am also very excited about Houston.. as a matter of fact, I was so excited I woke up with a puddle around me.

wow...3 days 23 hours and (according to the U.S. atomic clock) 33 minutes till team 108 leaves Ft. Lauderdale!

Psyched? Ohhh yeah!

This'll be my fourth national trip. I hope the people running this can outdo Disney's production! This looks like it's gonna be fun!

Nats is gonna rock this year! Arena and a stadium as the pits and the fields. And I'll finally get to meet (and see again! ::CoughLOBSTERCough:: ) some people I've been talking to on here...then again..I seem to recall something in which the last person that posted here may not want to meet me. No hard feelings here man! :p

Yep, definetly can't wait to see everyone there!...yeah...

^--Haha, now the board is confused and I'm out!

:-D

Well I'm not psyched at all. Because I'm not going. :D I wish I could go but I'm in one of those unlucky teams who couldn't make up the money to go this year. I went last year with our neighbor 343 (Metal In Motion) But we weren't invited this year. That's alright though. I just wish I could some how make it down there. Here's to hoping for the impossible! Good luck to Metal In Motion, SPAM, M'Aiken Magic, UpStart, and why not, the rest of you too.

I'm really excited for Houston this year. Granted, Epcot has brought a lot of great memories over the years, but I'm sure Houston is not ready to dissapoint. This will be my last competition and hopefully the team's best. I only wish more people were staying in our hotel! Nationals countdown... T minus 4 days... :p

Don't say that! Aren't you going to start a new team at your college? :cool: (I'm assuming you were implying that you're graduating this year.)

Re: Who's psyhced about nationals??
 

I am- I am



Oh wait a minute- I thought it said psycho about the Nationals

psyched doesn't begin to describe
 

I know that I'm just a bit more than psyched- I've been thinking through the whole "experience" over and over again... and I packed friday night...

I'm sooooo excited about nationals...I actually started packing a week in advance...okay, I admit it, I can be a dork at times, but I'm hoping that someone will confirm that as normal :p ....

My team's leaving a day early, so I'm REALLY excited...:D

Eek...I need to sit down now...the excitment is really getting to me...:D

Last year when I went to Nationals I packed a week in advace. :) If I was going I'd probably already be packed and counting the hours till we leave. Heheh. There's always next year. ;)

I can't wait!!! We leave tuesday... We qualified this weekend... I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D 4th national? GRRRR, you're only a sophomore!!!! but yes, nationals WILL rock this year, i love houston, so houston + robotics = very very happy excited Elyse!!!!!!! WHEEE!! I'm mostly packed, but since we had west michigan regional this weekend and got home late last night, i have to rewash the team shirts... i'm sad robodawgs and 902 can't attend this year, they were amazing alliance partners and just wonderful teams at WMR!! we'll miss you guys! (sorry to the drivers and crew of both teams, my dancing on the field was out of nervousness lol).

but yeah! i'm excited to know i'll finally meet more of you nice people!!!

i understood that!! oh, wait... duh... lol! ::coughlobsterin3dayscough!::

aww, i still have NO voice from the last regional, but lots of sleep, tea, cough drops and such will hopefully get me well before thursday's yelling.... if anyone sees me wednesday and i'm unusually quiet for me, don't take offense!

see you in the pits... and on field... and in hotel (to like, the 3 teams at the radisson).. and in the park!
:yikes:

hey hey hey, thats a sophmore that started on a robotics team in 7th grade ;). Yeah...I was on the panzer aluminum team.... alas my dark secret revealed...


::CoughCANTWAITtoseelobstercough::

Ok, EXPLAIN! :confused:

Hey, is anyone else in the Crowne Plaza?

Of course!!! Yes, it is sad to be leaving the Demolition Squad; however, I am fortunate enough to be attending Cornell University who works with team 639, so I'll still have the opportunity to compete. There's no way I'm done for good...I'm a FIRST addict all the way. Yay Code Red Robotics! :)
