We always like to give a big Texas welcome to all the teams who come in from out of state!

This also includes the Adambots from Michigan, and rookie teams Campus San Luis from Michigan, and the Jaguars from Arkansas.

Oh yea, there is also this HOF team from Mountain Home Arkansas. Welcome back Bomb Squad!

I am so looking forward to coming to San Antonio to help out. The wife and I are flying in from California to help with judging. Haven't been to San Antonio since Air Force basic training, I think a robot competition is going to be much more fun

San Antonio is shaping up to be a great first year event !

This intensity will really start to build when 16, 118 and 148 release their robot videos!

In the meantime, the DiscoBots will keep you in suspense with our testing videos !

Scoring our first tube !

I always look forward to teaser videos as a preview of what to see at events.

Word is that the tandem that is AndyMark will be at the Alamo event at Robot Inspectors. The local planning committee is very grateful to these and other veteran FRC folks who are coming down to help make this event a smoothly run and successful event.

Glad to have both you and your wife from the Golden State visit our town and help develop the local pool of FRC judges. Should I put out a call to Lackland AFB to see if they can get an instructor out to the event for old times sake

Robots get bagged today for San Antonio.

Since this is everyone's first event of the season lets make scouting a bit easier. I would love to see pictures or even better videos of every robot that is going to be at the inaugural Alamo Regional.

To start it off, if you haven't seen it yet, here is the DiscoSlide from 2587.

We should have an updated video from our final driver practice uploaded some time soon.

Is anyone planning to webcast this event?

[AllenGregoryIV]

I don't know the details but I believe Team 2468 is planning to webcast Alamo.

[HighLife]

OK, I won't be in Texas next weekend, but would love to watch it.

As of right now there is no one listed as webcasting this event:

Safe travels to San Antonio! The weather is beautiful and will, hopefully, stay this way.

According to Andrew's post here, there is going to be a webcast.

Looking forward to the matches later today. Team 2415 the WiredCats from Atlanta are there, so of course I hope they do well. Thanks for the webcast info. Dave

Favorite things at the Alamo Regional so far:

The very happy conga line that formed around the outside perimeter of the field this morning - before my first cup of coffee.

The Q button that the Wranglers are sporting to celebrate their 'new' coach.

The duct tape robot giveaways that 922 is handing out. They are so silly.

The eagle mascot and its handlers. Amazing and fun/funny/cute/awesome.

Meeting new people who have traveled to the regional to help celebrate its inaugural competition.

A small alligator sticking through a wooden slat and holding a toy soccer ball in its mouth.

An occasional chair.

Good luck tomorrow, teams.
