Bayou is a really fun regional. I mean, it's New Orleans after all! If any teams are still looking for that 2nd regional and week 4 is an option then grab one of those last open slots and come on down to the Bayou. You will have a blast!

With The Pink Team registering, the list just keeps getting better. We're as excited as ever! It'll be interesting to see who fills up those last 5 spots.

And a warm welcome to team 4668, The Spartans! I'm a bit surprised you guys are the only rookies coming this year (as of now), but if any of you guys are reading this, you'll have a blast!

Bayou's going to be a blast this year, I can't imagine what Pink is going to have for the parade.

Spectrum can't wait to make our first trip out that way.

[Anupam Goli]

Looks like I may likely be able to come out to Louisiana and volunteer for this event! It will be a nice way to end my spring break! I'm super excited already!

[MysterE]

Panthrobotics is excited to spend our fourth year competing at the Bayou with all of these wonderful teams.

First Robotics Team 1758 From Florence South Carolina is excited and working hard to get to the Bayou Regional! Can anyone tell me where it will be held and what to expect when we get there. Fellow southern states!!!! #captfrc1758

Emily,

The Bayou Regional is held at a wonderful venue called the Lake Pontchartrain Center in Kenner, Louisiana near the New Orleans airport side of town. Here is the venue web address: http://www.pontchartraincenter.com

You can see some photos from previous years and get some additional info at the Bayou Regional website: www.BayouRegional.info

As to what to expect, Bayou is a VERY fun and festive regional with a typical New Orleans party atmosphere. We have a Mardi Gras style robot parade to kick things off so bring your Marti Gras party attire. I'm sure Rachel and some of the other regulars will jump in here but come ready to have a lot of FUN!

Please let me know if there is anything else you want to know! PM me with any specific questions. We are looking forward to having you guys this year!

FRC Team 2973, The Mad Rockers, just cleared the waitlist. This is our fifth year, 2nd Bayou, and the first year we've gone to 2 regionals; we're back to back coming from Peachtree so we'll running on adrenaline alot of the time. We've been blessed by grants and sponsorships, most with the last 3 weeks, so hopefully we can turn that into a competitive team and robot (for a change ).

[Ed Sparks]

I'm planning to be there as an Inspector and remembering Kimmy ......

Hope everyone is excited!! 2 days, 11 hours, 15 minutes...
If everyone could post a pic of their robot, that would be great.
Can't wait to see them all in action!

Here is our robot (Hammerhead) and her cart:
