2015 Greater Pittsburgh Regiona

[Alex2614]

MARS is excited to be returning to Pittsburgh after our brief hiatus last year. I can't wait to see the new facility and some familiar faces. It should be a great event!

I can't wait, I'm glad that Pittsburgh is an early regional this year.

Is everything okay in your build space?

What does everyone think of the teams attending this year. Teams to look out for?

2656 is super excited to bring 'Grace' out for our 8th Pittsburgh Regional!

Here's a list of teams attending (as of now) by team number:
48, 117, 128, 144, 156, 291, 306, 337, 379, 451, 772, 888, 1014, 1126, 1507, 1629, 1708, 1743, 1885, 2051, 2252, 2399, 2534, 2544, 2603, 2614, 2641, 2656, 2665, 3015, 3062, 3138, 3260, 3324, 3504, 3511, 3591, 3954, 3955, 3957, 4027, 4031, 4049, 4050, 4150, 4269, 4467, 4484, 4547, 4601, 4615, 4991, 5413, 5740

And now, reading through that, we're also excited to have our number confused with 2665!

It seems like there's almost a dozen more teams than last season at Cal U. MARS and Innovators Robotics will be back this year after not playing PGH last season. Soooooo many strong teams are playing here in March. I can't wait to see what each program has come up with.

Team 1708 is excited as always to come back to the Pittsburgh Regional as well as attending the Buckeye Regional this year! Good luck to all teams attending!

While I can't officially speak for 1507 anymore, I'm sure they're excited to return to Pitt for the first time since taking home a silver in 2011.

Sounds like it will be a fun one! Any good food places near the venue that you guys have seen?

There are a few good places to eat and not too expensive. Spuds, Sigz Bistro, High Point, and Campy's to name a few. Glad to see everyone coming!

Yes, 1507 is looking forward to competing in Pittsburgh again after making it to the finals in 2011.

For those who competed in Pittsburgh last year, how does the new venue compare to the old Petersen Events Center?

First time going to this one, despite having lived here since I left high school. I'll see ya'll on the field as a volunteer!

Team 48 will be handling the Pittsburgh Regional webcast this year.

For now, I know you will be able to access the webcast via http://live.delphielite.com. Direct links are forthcoming.

The plan is to have 2 feeds - a standard production view (via YouTube) and a GoPro full field view (via ustream.tv).

I've been told matches will be recorded.

Thank you Travis for Team 48's ability to stream the Pittsburgh Regional as I have a numerous amount of co-workers willing to watch this year's competition as they were intrigued with what FIRST is and robotics in general.
