2006 Lone Star Regional

[Dan Richardson]

So who's all gettin pumped and ready for the Lonestar Regional? 1902 is gonna be there and we are ready for a great competition! I noticed that there are like 18 rookie teams going to be there, thats A TON!! Where is everyone staying in the area?

[Kevin Sevcik]

I'm staying at home!

Ah the joys of a hometown regional. Seriously, though, we've got some interesting things planned as usual. Any one who's previously attended will have some idea of what I'm talking about. Also, I'm pleased to see all the mainstays returning, especially 364. Expect some loud, crazy, very bright orange people in the stands.

Basically, we'll see you guys here. I'll especially be looking out for ya, what with the rookie all-star and attending two regionals in your rookie year.

After a year off from FIRST, 704 is looking to make a strong comeback.

Home town for us too! Even though it's our third year, new sponsors and only 1 returning student makes us virtual rookies Saw you Oinkers tearing it up already, looking forward to seeing you guys!

[Gerry Salinas]

418 will be there in full force. I'd like to give a welcome to all the rookie teams in particular. Come on by and say hi, and I know I speak for everyone on our team when I say I'm looking forward to seeing and playing with you all.

[Andrew Rudolph]

I will be out there with 1902, only competition i will probably attending. I hope i picked the right one!

I'm so excited about next week! I think we are staying at the Holiday Inn-Astrodome at Reliant Park where we stayed last year. I hope to see a few teams there.

Good Luck everyone!

1745 will be there! Glad to know that team 364 is able to attend despite the hurricane!!!!

Team Blarglefish will be back, ready to rumble. We'll be staying at home, since the competition is only about 30 minutes away. We've got a lot of new faces on our team this year, so it should be fun for them. The event should be tons of fun. Oh, and the robot stuff should be a blast too.

[JagWire]

Rookie team 1742 will be there!! We're pumped and can't wait to get down there! I hope to meet as many of you guys as I can, so if you happen upon 1742's pit, stop on in and say hi!

Thank you everyone for making 06 Lone Star another great regional. It is my last time attending Lone Star as a student as I am about to graduate but the last 4 years have been a blast.

Congrats to 231, 418, and 1421 for winning.

See you all at Championship and look for some changes to our robot.

Let me add to Allen's post to say I also had a great time and thanks to all the teams, supporters, sponsors, volunteers, and Reliant Arena staff that made this such a fun event. This was my fifth year with the team and each year is more fun. I had several guests come to the competition for the first time, and they were blown away by the energy, enthusiasm, and knowledge shown by the students.

And a special thanks to Team 1884, our neighbor in the pit, for being such a great neighbor. A rookie team from London, UK, they did just great in the competition (8th seed Alliance Captain), won a Judge's Award, and were just fun to be around. Sure hope we see you guys again next year.

Thanks to our alliance partners 704 and 1496. We got knocked out in the quarter-finals, but we all gave it our best shot. And of course, congrats to teams 231, 1421, and our buds from Austin, 418 for the Championship. Great final matches.

On to Atlanta, with a better robot. Hope to see many of you'all there.

Well, I know I had a great time, and from what I could tell, so did the rest of my team. Though we had constant issues with our chains we finally got them fixed, only to be plagued by faulty code in the elimination rounds. Because of that we were replaced in the semis, and had to cheer from the sidelines. Though we didn't get to do what we knew we were capable of, team 1255 still had a great time. Twas my last time to attend as a student, because I'm graduating and will be attending the University of Texas at Austin next year. Might have to call up 418 and see if I can help them out as a college student...

[Dan Richardson]

Thanks to everyone in Houston for your great home style hospitality, it was great. Our team had an amazing time, and the fun never stopped for us. There were some amazing robots there, 118 231 148 418 364 etc.. it was great to see such stiff competition. Congrats to 231, 418, 1421 for the championship you took down a strong alliance it was quite impressive.

Special thanks to our alliance in the eliminations 148, 1255 ( it was an unfortunate series of events but you guys had an amazing robot ) and 1745, also gratz 1745 on your rookie all star hopefully we'll be able to see you at nationals.

Hopefully we'll see some of y'all ( picked that word up in Texas ) in Atlanta if we can make ( still working on funding ) but can't wait till we can compete in Houston again.
