18 days in till the Bayou Regional in New Orleans!

We are looking forward to seeing the usual locals, lots of rookies and some visiting TX teams. The teams list is on the Bayou site (http://www.bayouregional.info/teams.asp)

So who is excited? Anyone want to post some photos of their robots? Any predictions on how it will turn out?

I'm really excited for Bayou this year, I haven't been since it's first year. I'm inspecting this year and can't wait to see the competition.

I'm super excited for Bayou Regionals this year. When I saw the game at Kickoff, I was ready to jump on it. Last year was amazing, and I believe this year will be too! I appreciate the site info, I was curious about the scheduling ^.^ I want to spread the message of First

624 is excited to return! We attended in 2009 (Lunacy) and had such a positive experience that Bayou is the first "away" regional to which we'll be returning... Ever.

You can see a picture of our bot HERE and video HERE.

I'm excited to be a college mentor and help 3411 out in a few weeks at Bayou. There are many rookie teams this year, so we all need to help them pass inspection early.

Updated live from lunch break at the Bayou regional. Sorry everyone about the webcast- I'm not sure whats happening or who's in charge...

Picture of rankings is not completly recent. I think its as of 4 or 5 rounds before lunch.

Meredith, were doing great! Team breakaway lost our first match but won the second 2 matches. We've balanced twice on the bridge, and scored a couple balls.

David, thanks for the update. I really don't want to distract you from your event. Sounds like the team is as outstanding as I predicted.

Still can't get the stream to work, but at least Spyder is updating now. And I am getting a lot of flowers planted in my anxiety. I will have a lovely "Breakaway" cutting garden to show for it!
