It's Indiana. If they don't like the weather, just wait 24 hours and it will change to something completely different.

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

If its like Michigan, you just drive 5 more miles to change the weather.

That's what I meant:p

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

Anybody know what happened to 461? They were listed as attending BMR; in the past week they've been taken off. Giving up homefield advantage?
Good luck to them at St. Louis - help represent Indiana teams well and show 'em in MO how to Boiler Up!

If in fact they're not attending the BMR, we'll have to do a "Let's all go nuts" chant in their honor.

Other sad news - 2006 BMR champ 1272 is taking the year off - we'll miss them & look forward to competing with them in 2008.

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

There are two teams pending for Boilermaker; is 461 one of them?

We are looking forward to seeing 461 and several other Indiana teams in St. Louis. I expect they will raise the level of competition.

And some MO teams are coming to Boilermaker, too. I have a feeling this is going to be a really good year.:)

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

There may be errors on the FRC site. [EDIT: Or maybe 461 is just waiting until the deadline to send their money to FIRST? Maybe Team history events includes those for which a team is pending.]

Checking 461 team history shows they are registered for St. Louis, Boilermaker, and the Championship. The Boilermaker list doesn't include 461 now, and neither does the Championship list. But they do appear on the St. Louis list.

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

Now 1646 is no longer on the team list.:confused:

Apparently we had some problems getting our submission in on time, something or other wrong with some server or other. I'm so confused...

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

There are 3 teams pending for Boilermaker. 461 and 1646 are two of them. Per the rules, a team is pending until payment is received.

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

I am so delighted to say that 1319 will be returning to the Boilermaker Regional! :)

It was one of my favorite regionals (even though it was freezing!)

The people were nice and friendly! The Dodgeball Tournament was the best team social event ever!

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

Hay all,
If you are attending BMR, student or adult, please go to our website and register for your name badge. If you are planning to attend the social activities after the dinner Friday, it will be required.

Since we have gotten several inquiries so far, we are in fact planning to host campus and facility tours as we have in the past. Details are not yet finalized, but hope to be soon.

Thanks,

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

Team 2081 is registered and ready to go!!!!

Hope to see you all there

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

So with the robots shipped and the attending team list pretty much complete, what is this regional going to be known as...... a ringer based or lifter based competition? Let hear some strategies!


With our strategy being an end game lifter, should the majority of the teams be doing the same, the importance of each lift will become critcal. It will make each lift so important for score ratings.

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
 

We'll be using St. Louis as a practice to BMR, so by then we should be fine tuned and primed to go.

Our strategy is solely placing tubes. We'll be the team to get up your ramp. :)
