We've eaten chicken with our fingers at Midevil Times and fried chicken wings during breakfast tailgating. We've had the good fortune to win this regional 3 times and win the Regional Chairman's Award once.
Sadly, team 45 will not be attending the 2006 Midwest Regional. We are committed to the Boilermaker Regional, as we call it our "home regional". Since these two regionals take place during the same weekend in the 2006 FIRST Regional competitions, we had to make a choice. Since we are so close to Purdue, this choice was not difficult, but still sad.
Knowing the people who run the Midwest Regional, I know that we will be missing out on a great competition. We hope to return soon.
Sincerely,
Andy Baker
