2008 Las Vegas Regional
 
Altough this year there are 44 teams, there are only a few dominant robots.
I am ready for it. Hopefully we can see some interesting matches.

60, we are counting on you, please finish your shooter :cool:
987, Can't wait to play with or against you guys. (hopefully with)

987 is looking forward to seeing and competing with/against our Arizona friends! We have made good use of a couple hours of fix it time...

Joe, does this mean you guys will be even better than what we saw in San Diego? Now there's a scary thought.

Here's hoping we get to play more with you than against you ;)

good luck to all of you. Its unfortunate that our regional is the same week as yours.
Hawaii people love Vegas and look for every excuse to be there.
Heck, I own a townhome there too!:D
I think this is the first time that we haven't seen the High Rollers in a competition. I'm sure your the hometown favorite there.:P

Glenn,
We will miss you guys and pass along our best wishes for a great first regional in my favorite state! Sure hope the timing of our regionals changes next year so we might be able to visit your regional...

We really wanted to go to Hawaii this year....it's too bad that the regionals conflict. Good luck at your regional 359!

Guy,
Always a pleasure to see your team...our improvement works well on our backup bot and we hope will translate into more hurdles per match to help compensate some for the increase in defense we have seen from great teams like yours!

It may be possible for a couple of NERDS (as in me and squirrel) to make it up on Saturday, but we will have to wait and see. It looks like it will be a fun competition, even though there aren't as many famous teams attending as there were last year. Good luck 842! I hope 60 can get their shooter working, too. Then add in 39 and you have a nice fleet of shooter/rear-knockoff robots!

By the way, I hope for the sake of everyone else competing that 39 and 987 don't pair up for the finals... yikes!

Team 2061 would love to be alliance partners with 987 high rollers. I saw the final matches from the san diego regional and I have to say I was amazed, if only there were two more seconds left. I saw the knocker device improvement and thought that was a great idea. I remember from the practice at Cimmeron, before ship date and you guys were having trouble taking the ball off the overpass in hybrid. so I bet the improved device is better. Well Good luck to all teams.

Looks like a shooterfest: 8, 39, 60, 473, 1425... and those are just bots I've seen/read about in the last ten seconds.

Joe,

We love coming down. Great hospitality and lot's of fun. Vegas is always a blast.

We're working on fixing our hurdling device, so hopefully we'll be too busy hurdling to play some D. Regardless of whether or not it works, we hope to be playing D or scoring for you rather than against you :P

Can't wait! Only a few more days.
