Nah, just still bitter over the quarterfinals in 2007. (I don't know how I missed 1251 on the list, I really don't!)

I am sure it was just an oversight we had a great time playing against you guys in 2007 your tube hanging arm was a beast.
And at the time I posted that, Flash hadn't registered for Palmetto. (I remember this because I explicitly hunted down 1319 on the list when I was making my hype post and ruled it Officially Strange that y'all weren't on it. I think it was right after second registration opened, though--but I'm definitely looking forward to competing with Flash again!)

And if I missed any other teams, I apologize. Eight seasons of this and my mind sometimes slips.

I notice a few more fresh and returning faces on the list now:

-At long last, Palmetto can say that Kilroy is here! 339 has registered for their first trip to our fair state.
-The 2009 Palmetto champions 21 have registered. (Cue further grumbling on my part. )

I can also (very unfortunately) announce that 1398 is taking the year off from FRC. The fine folks of the Keenan Robo-Raiders are participating in the InventTEAM program this year (check their project page here) and decided that adding FRC to the mix is putting too much on their plates. I hope to see 'em back for 2012.

On the midlands watch, I also note that 1959 has registered for their sixth season. 1293 has yet to register, but I can confirm from their website that they are holding meetings this fall. Hope to see them on the roster soon as well.
