Did you make friends at a regional.. but dont know if you will ever see them again?

[Ashley Christine]

I know I met a few people who were so awesome! This was one of the best experiences for me... it was better than any cheerleading competition I have ever been in. I almost cried when our alliance lost its first of three matches.

One of my favorite parts was the social at rochester... it was so much fun... and now I dont know what I am going to do when the seniors on our team leave! I love them to death.

I met some people from all over.. delaware, canada.. and they were all so awesome!

I want to thank everyone for being so cool and friendly.. i really had a blast!

Of course, I made tons of new friends at VCU, and I might not see them again. But I have AIM for a reason.

In the end, you get more and more friends, that when you meet the old ones, you feel happy, not sad, about loosing them, it's the only way to move on.

Of course you'll see them again.
That's what Chiefdelphi is for.

You and your teammates could volunteer at regionals as well and there are off season competitions.

..And it sucks major when you forget to get their sn or #. But you know whats good? Make a lot of friends and one of those friends will have their sn or #. Making friends is always a good thing. I think my entire friends group is from robotics except the small one in school who get bugged majorly from robotics stories. Yeah sometimes you never see them again.. but thats life.. just keep in contact and hope to meet again.

[Mike]

Yeah I've made tons of friends, I've kept in touch with some of them... and some of them I'll be sure to meet again later on.

That's one of the awesome things about regionals......you meet so many AWESOME FIRST people, you have a lot of the same interests. Everyone can relate and everyone knows about FIRST. I've met some really awesome people at FIRST events, and it really does suck if you never see them again. If you have your cell phone on you, you can always jot down someone's e-mail or phone number so you can stay in touch. BTW, it seems like the Finger Lakes Regional is an awesome Regional, hopefully Team 1006 can bring Fast Eddie out there next year!

I am basically hoping that some of my friends are on here and have the same problem.. and then i will find them and get numbers/sns! lol

some shadow claw people came to the GTA regional which was cool but it would have been even better if the whole team was there...me and my friend started the shadow claw chant if that counts for something

[Jeff Beckett]

i had made a couple of friends at GTA and Waterloo. but been the driver and all makes it hard to meet new friends seeing how ur always driving. ashley i met you at GTA i beleive. i can't wait for Atlanta. l8er

One thing that FIRST has given me ... Friends who care.

Trust me, you never want to lose them, they are always up for helping you with anything. I can point out several stories and several names but that will make this a BIG post. So I won't do that.

I am a senior on my team. Back in my freshman year I didn't know anyone. At this point I know more than 300 people in FIRST. This year's nationals is going to be a BLAST.

Man, ChiefDelphi Forums always pump me up so much for the competitions! The one thing that's good about the competitions is the team social because it gives you the opportunity to talk to others and meet new people without having the stress of competing.

i always like nationals too because thats the biggest even of the kind and gives you the most time to chat with people from CD.
