Update as I know it as of about an hour ago. I got off the phone with my Mom (yes, it's a family afair) who was able to make the trip to St. Louis (I unfortunately had to stay for a few classes) she told me these things.

There were a lot of software changes this morning (I believe Firmware and radio reconfiguration to be exact) so many of the teams that had early practice rounds didn't make it out. Not many teams are able to place tubes right now (so much so that when anyone does people are cheering), two teams that I do know are able to are TechnoKats (45) and us (PantherTech, 292). Other than those two teams I don't know who else is, she didn't mention any other numbers to me just that there were a couple of teams that were able too. Autonomous is yet again a challenge this year, teams are still trying to get theirs to work without much success. The Thunderchickens are yet to be seen on the field besides their human player. Off the field, they have been seen crowded around their trailer, no word on what's going on there.

That's about all I can remember. I hope this helps, I wish we had webcast for St. Louis. Best of luck to all the teams out there, I really hope we see some good matches as the weekend progresses!
