Team 422 is looking forward to coming to the Chesapeake Regional for the first time in almost forever! I'm looking forward to seeing teams and a venue I've never seen before, and maybe be able to find some teams also attending the VA Regional.

FRC 2789: Team TechXsplosion can't wait to proudly represent the Great State Of Texas at the Chesapeake Regional this year! This will be our FIRST (pardon the pun) trip out to Baltimore, and we're bringing plenty of enthusiasm and momentum from the Week 1 Alamo Regional in San Antonio where we made it into the Quarterfinals and Captained the 6th Seed Alliance!

We're also pumped because we just got confirmation today that our congressman has scheduled a visit with us in DC on Wednesday!

We've heard great things about this regional, and the FRC 2789 students and mentors are pumped! See y'all soon!

-Bobby

PS: When you say our name, "TechXsplosion," the "X" is silent!

Re: 2011 Chesapeake Regional in Baltimore
 

I am proud to share a resource we at 2789 have been working on and continue to work on through the Chesapeake Regional. This year we are focused on "Building & Sustaining Our Team," and our organizational goal for the Chesapeake Regional is to implement and share the first iteration of our new scouting system.

We built it on Google Sites because of the ease of updating the system from iPads and cell phones, and we are still in the process of transferring everything over from our spreadsheets, so please bear with us as we are continually updating. If we left something out about your team, please let us know and we'll fix it as soon as we can. Watch for updates through the regional!

You can access the site at: https://sites.google.com/site/2011chesapeake/


Or follow the link through our team website: http://team2789.com

Hope you enjoy the resource, and if you have any feedback, please let us know!

Team 686 is excited to return to the Chesapeake Regional. Hope to see many familiar friends as well as some new ones.

Re: 2011 Chesapeake Regional in Baltimore
 

Hi,

My name is Sam Alexander. I am an alumnus of team 341, Miss Daisy. Since then, I have become a rather active volunteer. As a student at Columbia University, I volunteered at the NYC regional this past weekend, as well as last year. As it is my spring break, I am volunteering for the Chesapeake as well and very excited to do so. I passed volunteer screening, received my role and booked my transportation plans. Only yesterday however, after the regional, I called my friend who whom I am planning to stay to confirm the arrangement. She notified me that Johns Hopkins University on-campus housing, in which she lives as a first-year, closes over spring break which begins on Friday.

I still have a place to stay on Wednesday and Thursday nights, however, if anyone either volunteer or team has space to spare for a volunteer for the following two nights, I would so so very grateful. I only hope that this last-minute hiccup does not prevent me from attending the regional.

Thank you for all of your time and help,
Sam Alexander

P.S. I smell great.

If anyone can give this young man a room, they will be doing a great service to the Chesapeake Regional. Sam is a caring human being, easy to work with, and a dedicated FIRST volunteer (NYC and Philly)

Please consider helping Sam to help the Chaesapeake Regional. :)
