This event is going to be amazing. With 75 teams and two fields, the Hershey Center is going to be jam packed and rocking. This year's event should be a great competition, especially if you look at the quality of some the teams who will be competing. For example:

Team 33 - The VCU champions, with their four speed automatic transmission and amazing ball gathering ability.

Team 1241 - These rookie's out of Mississauga know how to play this game, they gained instant recognition at GLR for their brilliant ball catching device.

Team 48 - The most powerful robot I've seen in person this season (although Clarkson could give them a run for their money), they can push anyone around. Plus their arm gets them up on the bar and off the ground very quickly.

Team 188 - Two Speed, 6 motor drive system. Need I say more?

Team 1114 - Oh yeah, I almost forgot about us. The Pittsburgh finalists and Long Island champions are eagerly anticipating their third regional.

Plus there are another 70 teams out there who I'm sure will something to say about the outcome of this event by Saturday afternoon.

I can't wait.

Come stop by and say hi to me in the 1114 pits.

I'll see you all then.
