Exploding Bacon will be bringing their piggy banks to collect for the Red Cross for earthquake/tsunami relief. We raised over 325.00 at the Florida Regional, but that was only one day. I bet the teams at the Palmetto Regional can help us break that number!!!

Is someone providing a webcast for Palmetto? If not I'll be pretty sad :(

Re: 2011 Palmetto Reigional *New Location*
 

Hey guys,

When I came down to Charleston earlier in the week, they were doing construction on I-26 between exits 209-213 (The exit for the coliseum is 212-A). It did not seem to mess with the flow of traffic that much, but it did just a little. So, if you are doing time pertinent activities in this area, be sure to give yourself just a little extra time :)

The volunteer staff and chairs are pleased to announce that the majority of the Palmetto staff for the past 4 or 5 years will be in North Charleston to provide you a great Palmetto Regional this weekend. Ted Creech is returning as MC and I am honored to be the game announcer for my 7th straight year. Terrell Burch is returning as Head Ref.

We have 43 teams from 8 states, including all 25 SC teams. These teams include many finalists and one winner from the 2011 season.

I have not been to the venue but I have heard there is more pit area and the arena is in a great viewing location.

I am anxious to meet all the teams and see if we can achieve these items for the Palmetto Regional

Nice goals! Haha we will have another duplicate of our minibot for sharing purposes.

Oh and Barry. We have a wig for you:D since you get to stay with the team at some point. We thought we'd give you a little team spirit gift. XD

Re: 2011 Palmetto Reigional *New Location*
 

TechTigers rolled into Charleston about 3:45pm this afternoon can not wait to see the inside of the new venue. Beautiful day out in sunny South Carolina. Can't wait till the action starts tomorrow.

Were packed up and heading down tommorow morning at 4am. Stop by our pit and say hello. We will have our mobile machine shop open for use. With Chop Saw, Ban Saw, Drill Press and 2 way commercial sander. If you are interested in trying to use our second minibot let one of us know.

You'll know when we get there. The wizzarz are back in town.
