Better yet, see if you can get Bob Metcalfe to autograph your MacBook running Linux. Bob Metcalfe LUUUUUVVVVS Linux, as well as the taste of newspaper.

:mad: It looks more and more likely that I am going to have to work this weekend and miss what promises to be a very interesting and exciting Boston Regional. Certainly the folks down in Beantown are trying to out do last year's performance and seem right on track. The Governor will be there, FREE Museum of Science (I highly recommend all teams attend the Boston Museum of Science is a great place), I'm curious to see how the video system works. Unfortunately I may be watching the web cast from my desk. Oh well such is life as they say.

Good luck to all the teams at Boston and have fun!!

I'm leaving to set up the field in 20 minutes! Woo Boston!

Re: 2007 Boston Regional!
 

Team 88 is packed (almost), pumped, and ready to go! This regional is bound to be awesome. We're leaving at 6:45 tomorrow and looking forward to the nice, short bus ride (compared to the time it took to get to NJ!).

If you guys see a tie-dyed, crazy girl decked out in pins on Friday or Saturday, say 'hi'! I'd love to meet some CD FIRSTers. If you were in NJ, you'd recognize me (from several crazy dance parties on the field and mascot pit :) ).

Good luck to all teams! Let the party begin! Woo!:D

Two words:

Pixel Panels.

Re: 2007 Boston Regional!
 

I love pixel panels don't get me wrong. But you do have to ask why? seems a little too over the top.

Greg is Sargent productions running boston? Cause if it is... I need to ask Steve if we can barrow them.:rolleyes:

Re: 2007 Boston Regional!
 

I'm going to be there all day Friday and Saturday-- In fact, we'll be having an RCU meeting on Friday at 2!!
I'm so excited- Boston was fun last year, I can't wait to see it get even better :D

Re: 2007 Boston Regional!
 

We tried to sign up for Beantown since we had a blast there last year but was not in the cards....however will be on our list for sure next year.


Would like to wish all the teams the best of luck and hope to catch some of it...

Re: 2007 Boston Regional!
 

Didn't Boston get enough press coverage this year with Electronics based board devices?




And, yes.. there is a reason I bring this topic back up.. It was rather amusing how a city can go crazy over the lack of electronics knowledge Boston really has.

Hopefully in the future, with FIRST as mainstream as it is headed, everyone will know the difference between a "bad" electronic device, and a simple LED cluster. It's all about raising awareness in science and tehnology, now isn't it?
:p

Re: 2007 Boston Regional!
 

Somebody, please, anybody!!!! UPDATES!!!!

Who is good? Who is Great? Who is AMAZING?

What's the game play like so far? Is New England Defense raining true, or are there some real offensive powerhouses taking control?

We need INFORMATION people!

Re: 2007 Boston Regional!
 

of the matches i saw, since i was busy in our pit:
defense wasnt really played, maybe tomorrow.
173, 125, 1626 were really consistent in placing rings.
didn't get to see 121 perform :-(
