My team, 2783, was going to go, but a prospective sponsor who looked promising backed away and we had to settle for Boilermaker only and world.

I will have to watch the webcasts of this...

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011
 

Is anybody aware of plans for the Smoky Mountain Regional to be webcast?

The NASA list of FRC Webcasts (http://robotics.nasa.gov/events/2011_frcwebcasts.php) doesn't yet go out to week 5...

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011
 

The webcast lists aren't finalized until Thursday/Friday of that week! :o

We haven't been inspected by Andy, but Ed is a very fair and knowledgeable head inspector. We missed you at Peachtree. (Not a knock on this year's Peachtree inspectors, they did a great job).

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011
 

It was sad for me to miss Peachtree. I've been the LRI there since the beginning ...... but LIFE got in the way this year. I knew you would be just fine because the crew at Peachtree are well oiled and don't need much from me.

See 'ya soon at SMR ..... looking forward to it!

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011
 

The Regional Director told me they were working on one, but I've not heard definite confirmation.

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011
 

1519 is looking forward to meeting new teams and making new friends this week. If anyone needs robot parts, help with your robot or with software (C++ or Java) please come to our pit and we'll do our best to help out.

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011
 

We are working with the Regional staff and NASA and plan to support the webcast. We wil post the details as soon as we have them.

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011
 

Wow that's a healthy 11 hour drive. We'll be leaving Wednesday evening. The team's 4 hour drive doesn't seem so bad now.
