I hope it isn't this way tomorrow, because its depressing that so many teams are having problems. Has it been this way at the other regionals? (at practice rounds)

The first day is always an experience. Practice rounds at BAE made it look like many maschines were having their difficulty, and it looked as though the competition could be dull if things didn't shape up. But, as always, teams came out to win the next morning. Many robots that did little during practice proved major contenders throughout qualifiers. Everything that happened on thursday showed little foresight. Believe me, by tomorrow, you'll have quite the competition. All the bugs seem to have a way of working out in time to make things interesting!
