Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

Team 1622's Vex team would like to go, but literally up until today we thought we wouldn't even qualify, or have the cash. We qualified the weekend of the 21st when we received the Excellence award at Hilltop High School's Vex Competition.

I actually have no idea when the deadline to sign up is though so O.o

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

1086's VEX team shall be there also, along with our FRC Pit Crew and robots! Hope to see you all there!:D

In the unlikely event any of you care... we are now staying at the Hyatt Regency. I think we have 16 rooms. I predict a lot of late-night computer game playing. :]

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

We are staying at the Hyatt; shortly after making our reservation, I heard a rumor that the robotics rooms there are all booked now. But I'd check it out anyway if that's where you really want to be.

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

Im not sure exactly how many of us form New Zealand are going but i do know there will be about 14 people from our team SymbiOHSis there, i believe we are staying at the west end hotel (the name had a west in it anyway:o ) cant wait to go :) Our team 2900a qualified by winning the excellence award.

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

I honestly would love to go to this event, I had my trip planned out, then i realized my finals were the same week

oh well, hopefully they will have a webcast like they did last year

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

I'll be there with my old teams from Cranbrook robotics. Sent in my volunteer application today. I'm looking forward to seeing some awesome VEX robots.

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

I'll be inspecting robots and anxiously watching my teams. We wear eye-scorching safety yellow shirts, and will have 48 people there. You will probably notice us -- come by and say hi.

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

I know a Westlake Girls' team is going to make the trip. Good luck to the NZ teams going, from what I saw in the webcast you guys will definitely be competitive.

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

All five members of the Novak family from the Bomb Squad are trying to get there to volunteer. I just found out the kids are out of school that Friday (good) but it is High School registration day for 2 of my kids (not good)...but Harley is on it...fingers crossed.

I am very excited about getting to volunteer at an event we are not sponsoring or supporting our own team!!!
Should be very relaxing :rolleyes:

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

I will be there as a robot inspector and one of the MCs.

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

Should be a great time for sure. The volunteer support from the community is really appreciated!

Re: 2009 VEX World Championship
 

It was a great competition and a fun weekend. It was nice to finally come to see a big VEX event. Big thanks to Karthik for inviting me to come join the fun.

It was nice to see a lot of the usual suspects from FRC since I wasn't able to make it to Atlanta this year. It was especially great to hear Paul Copioli talk about seeing the sights in Paris.

Oh yeah, the new game looks like it could be pretty interesting...
