Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

You are both wrong. It is 13 teams going to both (which I admit isn't the "majority") but is still a good number.

Check me if I'm wrong:
1)442
2)2415
3)1746
4)342
5)1261
6)343
7)2362
8)900
9)1102
10)1398
11)1758
12)281
13)1319
To all the scouts, I hope this saves you 10 min of searching lol.

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

Most of the same crew will be there from past years. We hope to make this the best Palmetto yet, and the best in the south. Some old rivals and alliances will be there. I think all the teams from SC will be there except Clover.

I will be announcing again, and I believe Terrel will be the Head Ref. As of now, the MC will be Chiniqua Gallop. She is a super energertic MC. I think she did Palmetto the first or second year and she has worked the Championship as well. She'll get you up and dancing.

The social will be at the student union again, with bowling, etc.

Post suggestions here and I will try to relay them to the volunteer coordinator and chairpersons. I think the event will be webcast.

The Palmetto Regional website is

The webcast link is at the top
or go directly there today to see if it works.

I see they switched from Quicktime to Flash this year.

There is one thing you need to know about the pit announcer (if we get the same one as years past). He LOVES creative request for parts, like bolt strechers, flux capacitors, but he wants to get some new ideas.

And as usual, I have to make my pitch for attending Clemson. If there is any way you can take a campus tour, please try to do so. I will be glad to take a group around on Thursday night.

See ya there!

I'm sure Billfred and the guys on 2815 have their dates booked for this.:)
GO TIGERS!

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional. Clemson Campus Tours
 

Hey, I'll (most likely) be wearing a Capital Robotics shirt at Palmetto. If either team has the right amount of time, though, I'll make sure that the appropriate amounts of garnet are distributed in time for such a tour.

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

I have a feeling Palmetto this year will tend to be even more competitive this year than years past. I can't wait!

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

If you're not one of the teams at Peachtree this weekend, it should be a good preview. There was talk about a webcast, but haven't seen a link yet.:confused:

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

The three teams from West Virginia 337, 1249 and 2614 will be at Pittsburgh this weekend and look forward to the trip south in two weeks.:)

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

ATTENTION ALL TEAMS!

Team 1676 is considering integrating another team into our scouting system. We first kicked off our scouting program in full force at the 2006 Palmetto Regional, and are looking to continue our legacy. However, due to the small size of the group that will be attending (and the large personnel requirements), we would be tightly stretched to man all our stations. As such, we are looking for teams with at least 10 people who could be devoted (on rotation, no more than 6 at a time) to assisting us with scouting. We would be able to provide all necessary equipment (i.e. laptops- we have enough). Any teams interested in participating would just need to guarantee that their scouts would be available. As repayment, we would make all our scouting data available to the participating team, including the detailed ranking analysis we do each night and at lunch on Saturday.

If any teams are interested, please send me a private message with your name and team number, and let me know how many members you would be able to commit to scouting (as outlined above). Thanks for your consideration and help, everyone!



On a side note, all teams attending should remember that we make our raw data available to any team. We will have handouts available in our pit on how to access it, so feel free to come and ask us for it there. Or, you could just come find our team in the stands (under our banner, with the big yellow sunburst logo) and we'd be happy to give it to you.




See everyone in two weeks!

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

Team Driven #1730 from Lee's Summit Mo, is looking forward to attending the Palmetto Regional. This is our first time attending Palmetto and looking forward to making new friends and having a great time competing.

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

If there's one thing the Palmetto Regional knows how to do, it's have a good time. Just remember: Unfortunately, Dancing is not allowed.

(Oh, and wear garnet and black if you've got it. They love that stuff up there in Clemson. ;))

jerk... :cool:

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

From the wikipedia.......Clemson leads the football series 65-37-4. Clemson has more wins against South Carolina than any other program.

But we're not talking football, we're talking academics.

Despite having 2 degrees from Clemson, I must say I have met and worked with many qualified and friendly people from USC over the years.

Just go to college SOMEPLACE. Better if you get a degree in SC and stay in SC to improve the workforce in the state.

Rivalries make both sides stronger.

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

I hope all teams have a great time next week. I'm excited to be competing with the teams that traveled too. We don't have everything in the pit, but if you need something, stop by and see if we have it. A lot of teams at Peachtree were able to find what they needed, even if it was Gene, our C-RIO expert. Our career center is about 20-30 min away, depending how desperate you are. 8 days to go:yikes:

Re: 2009 Palmetto Regional
 

i dont even think it's that far josh :P but yes, im excited about competing once again with all the team that are making the trip to clemson once again this year! i think it will be another exciting regional!
