Oooh. Good idea.

Mike? Wanna make a trade off at one of the T stops? :D I'll reimburse you for the tape.

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

:ahh: Boston.... I'm in Connecticut right now. But on Saturday I have to be in Boston for a date :ahh: I'm not going to be able to watch it live :( Stupid girls :rolleyes:

Unfortunately Jessica, I think I'll have to tape Saturday because I'll be unavaliabe as well. I'd be willing to mail you a tape though if you PM me an address.

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

Bah, silly CT :) Probably by the time the tape would get to me, the archive would be up. Thanks anyway!!

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

You and me both bud =)

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

You can bet I'll be around here. :)

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

Ooh, ooh me too!

IRI is my 'nationals' this year. ;)

Jess, we should get a chat going later -- we'll show everyone in Atlanta how much fun we can have without them! :p :yikes:

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

Yeah, definately start one sometime. I'd love to join. I've always known I was missing out on a certain aspect of FIRST- the FIRST internet chatrooms. Five years and I've never been in one :o

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

... or somebody like that ... :)

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

Now that it is Wed. I have finally accepted the fact I am not going to atlanta. I was a real heartbreaker not qualifying. Those 3 tickets to Atlanta team 25 offered were incredibly tempting. Count me in on the "FIRSTers left behind" chat. ;)

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

Oops. Sorry Dave. I left you out on that. I will formally apolgize in person if I see you in Atlanta. I'll be the short guy with the SPAM hat and no voice (long story).

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

I think I had the same epiphany when our robot seeded 49th at BAE. I'm still debating on whether I should hop in the car and drive there. See ya in the chat :)

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

Bleh...

I'm going to be here on and off, and I'll do my best to try to contribute something interesting to CD while everyone else is gone.

I've still got homework from our trip to the Palmetto Regional that I haven't made up yet, though... :(

I'll be working on that, but I'll post when I can.

Re: Here's to the stragglers!

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

BAHHHHHHH I WANT TO GO :mad: :mad:

Re: Here's to the stragglers!
 

We were having this dicussion several weeks ago to prove how geeky I am. (Ask Venkatesh). I was saying that when NASA sent Pathfinder and Sojourner to Mars, I remember sitting in front of my TV, glued to the screen watching CNN's broadcast. That was in the summer of 1997. Meaning I was 10 years old, sitting inside on a gorgeous summer day drooling over robots. :o Foreshadowing??

Point being: I disagree. (obviously :) ) Well, about the rover broadcasts being boring. I definitely do want to see some of nationals though.

So yes, I will be stuck here in rainy NJ.

On the plus side, I just got back from college-searching in Boston and found that my amazon.com order got here while I was away. So now I have Building Robot Drive Trains to distract me from
a)being here and not there
b)studying for SATs and
c)studying for APs

And you know, school in general.

At least it's nice knowing I'm not alone, right?
