It seems so really odd not to see our # up near the top of that list. We are going to miss being in AZ's 1st ~ Second Regional in the same year ever. Oh, to have an extra 6K or so laying around doing absolutely nothing (though my poor education mentor wife would certainly give me the look if she saw that I just typed that as over her Spring Vacation she worked with the team at 2 different Regionals in 12 days w/ a few pack/go/return/unpack/wash laundry/pack/go/unpack cycles thrown in for good measure).

Sokay, that tall bagged baby is working well (and being designed currently for a lil sweet cheesecaking in a nice gently toasted graham cracker crust), and there is a crate to build, packing to accomplish, and travel plans to be tended to anyway.

Good Luck to ALL competing this week in the Valley of the Sun. Just remember no matter what, to bag it back up at the end if from AZ and qualify as...There will also be the AIA AZ High School Championships in mid-May too!

Which brings up another subject. Since that is a single day event in actuality (and since we go by District Rules this year)...Does that actually mean we all get a lil' unbagged at home shop time each after The Championships? Has anyone yet asked that important question?

Though personally, I would rather see them toss that bagged robot rule for all immediately after the Championships are completed, and allow us all to help others down the list a bit by flat out spreading the cheesecake around their robots, and actually allow teams to practice w/ other teams (w/ the comp bots), and help them out some more....So that the 1st AIA AZ High School Championships event, is the best it can possibly be!

Good luck to all in qualifying for that 1st ever event in Prescott also.

Here's to praying that someone is really nice enough to stream the event...PLEASE?!
