2008 Boilermaker Regional

I searched and failed to find an existing thread discussing the 2008 Boilermaker Regional.

Because it was so much fun in 2007, my team will be returning to Boilermaker for a second year. The field appears to be strong once again. As of this afternoon there are still a few teams pending, so things can only get better.

931 is looking forward to another great event with our friends in Indiana.

Re: 2008 Boilermaker Regional

Unless we're blessed with a surprise windfall, the BMR will be the only regional the CyberCards of Team 1529 will attend. So, we're determined to make it count.

Boiler Up!

Re: 2008 Boilermaker Regional

Awesome, we were hoping team 931 would get in! Maybe we can pool our resources for a single bus. We've got our work cut out for us representing MO with all of those good teams on the list.

Great idea! A two-team road-trip party, all the way from the Arch to West Lafayette! I'll tell Frank to give you a call about that!

I have heard rumors about a certain horned animal making an appearance at BMR.

829 is registered for St. Louis, but is not on the Boilermaker list right now. There are 6 teams pending.

Re: 2008 Boilermaker Regional

Just an FYI - the BMR website is down. Purdue changed things with their servers and we are still working on getting it back up. Hopefully this will happen soon.

Thanks and sorry for any inconveinence.

Re: 2008 Boilermaker Regional

393 is looking forward to the BMR as being one of two regionals we hope to attend this year.
We missed out on it last year, but I think we plan to make it an 'every other year' kind of trip. Even though it's extremely close to us, as compared to other regionals, we still like to see different places.
=P

But, yea. We're looking forward to the BMR, and seeing all of you there!!

Re: 2008 Boilermaker Regional

Friday night in Lafayette. We're having a blast at the Boilermaker regional! (Just got back from the laundromat with fresh team shirts for tomorrow. Our hotel has no laundry facility, but it does have an advantageous location, just a few steps from Krispy Kreme.)

The Armory at Purdue University is a special kind of venue. Space is tight -- but strangely that is a good thing. The walk from the stands to the pits, or to concessions, is very short. And the views of the field are all excellent. Not too many empty seats today, and by tomorrow afternoon there won't be any at all. Props to the planning committee for another great event, and to all of the outstanding volunteers who make it happen.

There are several strong teams in this field. Wildstang has only one loss, and 45/829/876 put up 100 points early in the afternoon, which was nearly topped by 292/1024/1501 in the day's last match. My team combined with 2040 and 2081 (solid hurdlers both) to lose that match 92-76, with each alliance taking 10 point in penalties. I believe that was the highest combined score here so far. Things will intensify on Saturday -- stay tuned.

Re: 2008 Boilermaker Regional

Boilermaker Regional has been very exciting so far. Many matches have been close and penalties are still a big factor. 111, 292, 1024, 45, and 931 have the hurdling game down pretty well, there are others that I'm forgetting though. Everyone should keep their eyes glued to who ends up in the top spots, it's going to be a major factor on making the shutout alliance for this regional.

As far as 1646, we've been plagued with some bad luck. Mostly some very random bad battery issues and throwing a drive chain. Otherwise, our drive has been flying since we upgraded it Thursday and we've knocked down most of the balls we've attempted.
