'Twas the night before the regional
Written all by me with no help from the other threads. Not as long as the real story and it doesn't keep the rythm perfectly, but I think it's not bad for 20 mins effort.
'Twas the night before the regional when all through the land Programmers were stirring, giving the next C-code command The toolboxes were packed and by the door they sat Ready for repairs after combat. In the crate alone the bot sits Waiting till morning when they open then pits Anxiously the students await the morning Hoping defensive plays won't earn them penalty warnings. Then all of a sudden an alarm clock is heard And outsite the window the sound of a chirping bird. The morning is come, the regional has here! Let's go and give them our team spirit cheer! The air smelled of diesel, from the big yellow bus We all took our seats as there was strategy to discuss. As we roll up at the arena look who is there. Dozens of teams from all over everywhere! The Circuit Breakers, Beach Cities, and Thunderbots Wearing shirts with colors and stripes and poka-dots! To the pits we must go, go right away! For it is going to be a glorious competition day! The gears are all lubed up inside their box With a fast drivetrain it'll be quick as a fox. The 13 foot arm reaches far into the sky Other teams look and can only say "oh my!" The tetras are set and the field is ready Drivers move the joysticks nice and steady Refs keep close watch on the loading zones Penalties are given and the crowd moans It is not clear who wins, but that is okay For it has been a wonderful match, don't you say? Defense and offense are the strategies they play For it has been a glorious competition day. |

I must assure you that we do not wear polka dots...
Anyways, I'm so excited! This is my first regional of the year that I've been to (I missed Phoenix), so I have been anticipating this since championship last year. Add this to the fact that I might be volunteering (still have to see about VIMS and if Jim Beck will let me) and it adds up to a great regional! Perhaps I'll see you tomorrow... |

Re: 'Twas the night before the regional
