Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
 

No team Social:(


Due to cost cutting measures issued from FIRST headquarters and given the current economic state affecting fundraising, we regret to inform you that we will be unable to offer a formal team social this year at the Peachtree Regional. However, we are currently in contact with the Gwinnett Department of Tourism to secure discount and free offers from resturants and entertainment venues in the Duluth area. Our goal is to make available to our participants low to no-cost options each day before and after the event. Please check back often as we will post all offers as we receive them. This will help with your team plans during your off-time.

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. We look forward to seeing each of you at the Peachtree!

The Peachtree Planning Committee


What are other teams doing Friday night?

Is the pit layout posted yet?

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
 

We will be hanging out with our cool new mentor Mike Bryan and hopefully deciding who we are going to pick the next day if we are lucky enough to be in the top 8 at that time.

ok, now you are just mocking me lol:mad: :p

Flash: great job in Ohio, we were here watching and cheering for you.

The only offer so far from the regional planning commitee is the Medieval Times, but that's still $25 a head. We may do the same thing, hang out as a team at a restaurant, and talk scouting. I just wish the students could interact and cut loose (a little).

Is the pit layout posted yet?....
Last year we were on an open corner facing the practice field. Lots of room:)

Thanks, we were pretty happy with the results considering we usually call our first regional our practice one. We believe we have learned some things and will be making some changes to our robot to make it even better for Peachtree. Can't wait to play again and see everyone there.

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
 

Even better:ahh:

What happened in the 63-64 round, did your alliance have a super cell? I seem to remember some scoring controversy. Oh well, as Mike might say: "smile and wave boys, smile and wave." All in all, a very good showing for your team and our state. Oh yeah, this is the Peachtree thread....:yikes:

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
 

What hotel are yall staying at?

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
 

Actually live scoring had us winning by twenty points, however when the moon rocks stopped flying and the score was tallied we somehow lost by one point. The only super cell scored was by our alliance. The scoring controversy continued (a whole other thread would be needed) and we indeed did do the Smile and Wave routine.

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
 

Hmmm, I wounder where Mike would ever come up with a saying like that:rolleyes:
*cough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV3sN6L1y_s cough*


before you guys get any ideas, we already have that saying decaled on our bot:P

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
 

all i know is that we are staying at a marriot-like place that is made of suits... thats about all i know...

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
 

I am aware of the pixar penguins and will not be putting that qoute on our robot. We already have all our decals on the bot thanks to our graphics team and Mike at Bosch Rexroth we are looking good. You all always look good to though so we will have to see, maybe we could look good together... see everyone soon and good luck.

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
 

Georgia teams all the way! (said with a proper Southern accent of course...)

Anyone doing a bit of advance scouting? We're trying to, but it appears most people haven't filled in their robot info yet...

Please?

Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
 

I live literally 5 minutes away from the Peachtree Regional. And I may be able to help. I dont know where everyone is staying, but there are hotels near the Discover Mills mall. That is always an option.

» There is an AMC 18 movie theater in the mall. $8 per person (I think)
» Suwannee Park is pretty close, but is not in walking distance from Peachtree Regional. We could bring soccer balls, frisbies, or whatever. There are also resturants all around the park. Five Guys (Burgers and Fries), Ippilitos(Italian food), Old Town Grill (sandwichs) are some that I know of. North Gwinnett (Team 1771) may know more than me. They are closer to the park.

Here is the website for AMC 18 at Discover Mills Mall:
(For Thursday March 12, Friday and Saturday are not availible yet[as of 3/4/09])
