2011 Pittsburgh Regional

[akoscielski3]

Just, finishing up packing our stuff over here in canada. Team 772 has their new pits and the new robot Toruk ready to go tomorrow and every one seems very excited. just cant wait until i get to sleep on the way there. havent had a good night sleep since before kickoff. Be sure to stop by and say hello to 1 of the 4 Canadian teams.

[Jimmy Nichols]

1038 is excited, although conflicts with other activities has limited our traveling squad to 6 students and 7 mentors. We are ready to play! We may be small in numbers this year, but if anyone needs any help at all. Do not hesitate to stop by.

Good luck!

[Nick Lawrence]

1503 and our robot SPARDIS are in town and ready to rock. Make sure to say hello to not just one, but all 4 Canadian teams. And yes, we say about like aboot.

I am not sure if someone is streaming the regional, but I know one of our team members are video taping and editing the event for FIRST.

And 48 (who has done both Pittsburgh and Buckeye webcasts in the past) will have our webcast guy and equipment there as backup and additional support, if needed. With 291 running it, I doubt that will be necessary.

Looking forward to tomorrow! See everyone there.

I have it on good authority that the Simbots have a Double Ubertube Auto.

^ Fixed this for you.

Does anyone know if any practice matches will be webcasted? Looks like it's currently not live on UStream.

I love how you guys are trying to make fun of Canadian s yet 3 of the 4 Canadian teams in Pittsburgh were in the top 5 (1114 first, 772 third, 1503 fifth) just making sure u americans didn't forget.

All,

Brandon Maris* from AndyMark will be at the Pittsburgh Regional to help out as needed. So, if you need any AndyMark product issues addressed, he can help.

* - Yes, his name is very similar to the webmaster of this site, but he is actually a different person. Although, strangely enough, they have similar personalities.
