Smoky Mountain Regional 2011

[ratdude747]

My team, 2783, was going to go, but a prospective sponsor who looked promising backed away and we had to settle for Boilermaker only and world.

I will have to watch the webcasts of this...

Is anybody aware of plans for the Smoky Mountain Regional to be webcast?

The NASA list of FRC Webcasts (http://robotics.nasa.gov/events/2011_frcwebcasts.php) doesn't yet go out to week 5...

We haven't been inspected by Andy, but Ed is a very fair and knowledgeable head inspector. We missed you at Peachtree. (Not a knock on this year's Peachtree inspectors, they did a great job).

It was sad for me to miss Peachtree. I've been the LRI there since the beginning ...... but LIFE got in the way this year. I knew you would be just fine because the crew at Peachtree are well oiled and don't need much from me.

See 'ya soon at SMR ..... looking forward to it!

The Regional Director told me they were working on one, but I've not heard definite confirmation.

1519 is looking forward to meeting new teams and making new friends this week. If anyone needs robot parts, help with your robot or with software (C++ or Java) please come to our pit and we'll do our best to help out.

Wow that's a healthy 11 hour drive. We'll be leaving Wednesday evening. The team's 4 hour drive doesn't seem so bad now.
