I will be cheering for Team 56, all the way from New Jersey.

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

1523 will be there! Expect more little green men to be scattered around ;)

Anyone interested in a Xbox tourney? We have quite a bit of experience running Cat-5 cables all over hotels (a favorite line of those involved has become "We need more lamps!"; the lamps had two outlets on the front, and were daisy-chained to create a last minute power strip. We had roughly 7 lamps in one room by the end of the night. Also, running cable five stories straight up was interesting... :p). A local LAN Center recently opened (Internet MAYhem) and if something similar is available near the arena it would be perfect! It's never too early to start scouting out this sort of thing ;).

Unfortuanately Ramtech 59 will not be joing you guys this year at Florida Regional, we have decided to go to Las Vegas regionals, we are trying to get some donations to make both Florida and Las Vegas regional possible, but if we don't go we will be cheering for you guys at heart. Keep the spirit alive, florida is known for the spirit!! SHOW IT!!

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

Ah, finally! We'll be able to show some of you from the Mid-Atlantic how we do it in FL! :]

I know there's a lan center on campus, but it might be PC-only. There's also one off-campus, so I'll have a look online later to see where exactly it is off of Alafaya Trail.

Your team will be missed this year! I know last year it was very hard to miss your team, as you guys didn't stop dancing for 3 days! :ahh:

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

I've never really seen Ultimate Frisbee at the Florida regional, but keep in mind last year was my first year and I was a bit preoccupied with hacky sack.

It looks like there is going to be another regional / FCAT conflict, can anyone confirm?

That's sad to hear. You guys were so enthusiastic last year, fun to be around. The best of luck to you at Las Vegas.

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

WE'RE IN!!!!!

The principal at Palm Beach Central High School came up with the $6000 entry fee, and team 1889 will be competing at Central Florida. I've been working with the team for a little over 2 months now and I'm pretty excited about it - a good group of kids and a dedicated / motivated teacher in the engineering academy.

Time to design that "(pink) powdercoat painted, precision machined, fully automatic mega-arm" :)

Re: Florida Regional 2007

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

Team 168 will be there! Our team is pumped and ready for any challenge!!! ha ha we should start a DDR Competition!!! Or at least a Halo comp in the hotels! who's in?:rolleyes:

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

I'm in for another year of volunteering--once again, I'll be the dork who goes to Florida for Spring Break without ever hitting the beach. :P

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

There is a resturant in student union (I'm not even going to attempt to spell it) who has a DDR machine, I went there a few months back, and unless they have fixed it the left pad's right arrow is broken. So for DDR, I suppose it is bring your own pads.
Depending on when you arrive/leave, I could possibly arrange for the beach to come to you :). I think it's great that you travel as far as you do to participate in this regional. It's much appreciated.

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

The name of the resteraunt is Wackadoos. They actually have a small arcade and billiards its a cool little place. Tho I would much prefer some good games of Guitar Hero 2. heh

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

Hey! does anyone know the max amount for this regional? The the usfirst site doesn't include it :(

Appreciate the help in advance, thanks!

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

I think it was 42 officially when registration opened and it filled up; website says 47 now. When I spoke with the regional chairman a few weeks ago he said they had 10 spots held for rookie teams and there were only 4 teams on the wait list at that time. I think last year there were 51 in attendance, so given all that I would guess 52 is the "real" number.

Re: Florida Regional 2007
 

Looks like my guess was right.

In new FIRST site, click on "What's going on in my area" at the top of the page, then select Florida, and FRC in pull down menu's
