2011 Boilermaker Regional

[Wayne Doenges]

Since no one has posted the 2011 BMR, I will.

Who's going?

We are. Team 1501 (T.H.R.U.S.T.) hasn't missed a BMR yet.

[Duke461]

461 is, considering we are a couple blocks away from the campus (Purdue)
P.S. How did you get a BMR badge like that?

[ratdude747]

2783 EOT will be there as well.

[IndySam]

As in every other Boilermaker, there will be Goats in the barn!

[Alan Anderson]

TechnoKats are in. Thank goodness for the slightly longer team list this year.

[CassCity2081]

2081 Icarus will be back for the fifth year.

[Dustin Shadbolt]

Although I wasn't able to be involved in mentoring in the PurdueFIRST program this year, I'm excited to volunteer and meet all sorts of new people and teams.

Just wanted to write a quick note to say we're excited to see everyone in a month at BMR! It'll be a full house this year with 42 teams!

If your team would like to attend the team social dinner, please have your mentor main contact check their email and register for it.

We'll also be having various campus tours again this year. More information will be sent to your main contacts as information is available.

BMR attending team breakdown

Alabama: 1
Illinois: 3
Indiana: 30
Kentucky: 6
Ohio: 2


3+year Veterans: 26
Juniors: 4
Sophomores: 7
Rookies: 5

Promises to be an exciting and challenging event. The 42 teams are the most that have ever been in the Purdue Armory. There is a great mix of experience levels that will undoubtedly lead to a friendly and intimate environment, turning very competitive and LOUD on Saturday.

-Side note - there are only five teams in Indiana that are not attending BMR.

[Joe Reel]

Team 292 is in for another year at BMR. Looks as if it will be a very competitive field of robots.

[IndySam]

It's great to have 42 teams but that brings up a big problem at the armory, lack of seating.

Please teams I implore you obey the no saving seats rule. Or at least be very friendly in inviting people to sit with you.

Look for those crews coming out of the pits to watch there baby compete, they get so little chance to sit and watch matches. Be proactive and grab them to sit with you. Who knows, you may find your new best friend.

Courtesy and kindness should be the words for the weekend.

Thanks
Grumpy Old Man.
