[wedge41388]

So lets kick this one off...
Who's going? I can't wait and I am just a volunteer!
Any other 2007 field repair volunteers super excited for more inflatable tubes?!?!?! Because I know I am!!!!

2013 From Stayner Ontario Canada will be going again! Any other Canadian teams???

[smurfgirl]

I'll be there as a volunteer, for the third year. I love the Boston Regional!

Not to necro this thread (though someone's got to do it some time!)

But I was reading this document:

http://bostonfirst.org/pdf/2011-Bost...ome-Packet.pdf


It contradicts it's self.

Please do not arrange for internet access at the site, or attempt to connect to the internet

And then later down the page

• Wireless: We plan to provide wireless access at the arena to teams who need internet access during the event

So are we getting internet or not?

[Mikell Taylor]

We are working with the venue to make sure everyone can access the wireless, so yes, our plan is for you to have access to the internet. However, what we want to avoid is people bringing in their own routers, access points, repeaters, etc that could interfere either with the Arena wireless infrastructure or with the field.

Team 61 will be there as always! Who's ready for some minibot races?

[Brandon Holley]

125 hasn't missed one yet, and we don't plan on doing so this year!

Looking forward to a solid competition.

222 will be there for the first time. From what I've heard it will be a good regional, can't what to see every one there.

[MikeE]

Thanks for the clarification on the wireless availability Mikell.

Fresh from a very exciting and eventful Chesapeake Regional, I'm looking forward to returning to the Boston Regional with TJ^2.

[smurfgirl]

TJ^2, you guys were awesome in Chesapeake - I'm looking forward to seeing you in Boston!

[Grim Tuesday]

I can't wait to see all the teams I usually don't see! At FLR, we are all familiar faces, but its fun to see some new competition some times! I don't know much of the Boston scene, do any "powerhouse" teams attend (powerhouse being defined as a team like 469, 1114, 67, 217, etc... who win every year)

[kstl99]

1922, team Oz-Ram will be there. We had a rough time in Manchester mostly because our robot wasn't complete. I am looking forward to seeing what difference we have made in the weeks between.

Grim, I don't know if any of the teams have the national reputation of the teams you mention but the competition last year was as tough and exciting as any I saw anywhere, and Boston and GSR have the best announcing team in FIRST (in my opinion). I hope you enjoy.

They're aren't usually any powerhouse teams who attend Boston, and looking over this years team list I don't see any. The field is pretty wide open...

[Waffles]

I'll be volunteering there & hopefully helping to present the Dean's list award to the 2011 recipients!

Can't wait
