Updates At The Championship - Where Are You And What's Going On?
 
All -
I thought it might be fun to hear the 'news' as teams arrive in ATL and/or set out for ATL.

How's everything going?
What's the latest?
Are we there yet?

This might be a great thread to share some photos, too.

:)

As always, keep it clean, please.

Jane

Arrived at 1pm, I had a nice lunch, and I'm currently typing this from my blackberry right outside the conference rooms while I wait for the next seminar to begin.

I know 1902 and 233 have arrived imn atlanta, I've seen some FTC teams here as well

Arrived about 10 minutes ago in the Embassy after haggling with the front desk a little. Someone spelt my name wrong! Trying to use my phone to figure out when and where conferences are.

I've personally had a great day so far. Some very nice 1114 parents helped me figure out my bearings when I got on the MARTA, I've seen so many robotics kids everywhere... It's great!

558 safely arrived and our load in crew is by now probably making their way to the conference center.

After 16 hours on the road, 2265 arrived at the Country Inn about an hour and a half ago. Our drive team is heading off to uncrate...just settling in and *trying* to do some homework :p

Can't wait for tomorrow!

MAYHEMers began invading the city around 12pm and are chilling at Wingate by Windham. Our hotel as a huge school group here so this just might get interesting.

See ARCHIMEDES tomorrow.

Team 51 should be in Atlanta by now.
As for myself, I will be taking off in a plane to Atlanta at 6AM tomorrow :D
I will be arriving around lunchtime, so I don't get to miss much.
I can't wait!

Okay, so, got on a plain at 6AM and spent seven hours flying to get here at 5:11... Time zones, don't ask. Serious jet lag.

Anyways, just arrived at the Wyndham Gardens Downtown (our hotel), after getting hit on by the security I'm sitting in a friends room baby sitting the coach/head mentors kid and finishing up our pre-game scouting data.

Four team members and the coach are at the Dome right now, installing our redesigned kicker.

Robotics seems to be EVERYWHERE. It's very cool.

I took a pass through the dormant FRC pits this afternoon before uncrating. I was on my way to the dome for volunteer orientation. I also took some "before" pictures of some of the crates. Maybe I'll post a team list of them. I expect to return to the pits later to get the "after" shots, so I'll need the list myself. Hmmm thinking with the fingers, are we Bill?

Oh, and nothing too special to report at the discover mills Lego store/outlet either. Any Lego stores near St. Louis? :confused: :) :]

photos uploaded, awaiting approval - crates involved 122, 118,3142,3145, 624,692,816,830,175,126, 75,111,40,48,399,461,117,120, 128, 151, 308, 281,668, 706?, 172, 801,558, 585, 842, 533, 486,525, 932, 1330?, 1379 - sorry for omissions and errors, your mileage may vary, close cover before striking, contains no cholesterol.

EEEEK! Not driving are you? And to think we were thinking that "texting" while driving is dangerous.::ouch::
