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.

I've been watching regionals from the webcasts, primarily Alamo. Just curious if anybody knows what happened to 118 in their earlier matches. One match, I saw them scoring exclusively on the low pegs. I'm sure they were just having a lift issue, just wondering if anybody knew why.

I must say all of these high-caliber teams are always fun to watch. 16, 118, 148, 1477...

I really hope we will see a second ubertube up by 148, crossing my fingers for it.

The feed seems to be getting increasingly choppy, no?

Teams 16, 148, and 3481 are your 2011 Alamo Regional Champions.

I think that was very obvious from the very beginning.

Team 148 was amazing! They scored their ubertubes, went back, picked up their partner's ubertube and scored it in two matches that I saw! Hat's off to their programmers. Their four bar arm hangs with ease and their minibot deploys and climbs in what looked like around two seconds. I see them going far in St. Louis.

Team 148's Robot is the best robot I've seen in the regionals I watched (Alamo, FLR, Granite). If 118 had a more reliable deployment system, they would probably be just as good.
