2007 Chesapeake Regional
 

In short: Who's coming? If you are, lookin forward to it as always? :D

Still (as I keep checking) 39 spots available for veteran teams for the 'JetLag' regional and one of the biggest regionals using a single field.

Just blurt out your thoughts, random blurbs, or whatever you want about Chesapeakes! One thing is: you probably will not find me there because I just checked the calendar and Spring Break is after Chesapeakes.

While 116 won't be participation in the competition @ the USNA this year, hopefully I can be there at least on Saturday. Good luck to all the teams at this always intense event.

Not Registered Yet, but Team 341 will be there!

This will be our 5th year! We've been to every Chesapeake Regional and would not miss it for the world!

Great Teams and Great Times! See everyone there!

Re: 2007 Chesapeake Regional
 

The Planning Committee is hard at work on the new website-give us a couple of weeks to get a lot of the new content posted.
In the meantime, I'm happy to answer any questions from teams thinking about coming to the Chesapeake. jbeatty@usfirst.org

Hey, I will be there!

Re: 2007 Chesapeake Regional
 

I always look forward to Chesapeake. I can't wait to come back...I hope to volunteer one year. =] That'd rock!

I miss y'all, can't wait to see everyone.

Re: 2007 Chesapeake Regional
 

last year me and my team had a BLAST!!!

hopefully, if my schedule is not tight i'll be there to volunteer.

Re: 2007 Chesapeake Regional
 

May volunteer....but I don't know what the Spring's gonna look like as it is a week before my actual spring break.

Re: 2007 Chesapeake Regional
 

Hotels-We may have a central clearinghouse number for you to start with. Give us a couple of days.

Re: 2007 Chesapeake Regional
 

It looks like Buzz is joining its RoboBee clones down here. Teams 11 (volunteered here last year and competed three years ago) and 56 are heading up to NYC while 316 (who's been going to Chesapeake's for a while) looks like its heading to UTC (wish they'd buy up ARINC or Northrup Grumman and consolidate Hartford and Chesapeake into a Super-regional at Comcast Center==which I may add will take a regional winner to redesign to be safe(notice the stairwells))

But we have many newcomers showing up:

1370 from DE (A MOE return likely?)
1975 from Massachusetts
75, 87, 204, 869, and 1676 are coming anew (we saw 87 two years ago).
(Along with all the usual invaders==203, 293, 339, 341, 614, 709, etc)

And with 9 or 21 spots left, there's still plenty of room for more==more teams from all over the place. Hopefully Chesapeake still will retain its reputation!

It felt good hitting that Add Event button today!! Can't wait to take our new crew to the Chesapeake Regional.
