I hope the plan is broadcast on Thursday as well. Even though it's just practice, it's still Knoxville action!!!

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011

About eight hours for the St. Louis area teams, 931 and 1208. Driving by way of Mt. Vernon, IL --> Paducah, KY --> Nashville, TN then eastward to the most beautiful mountains I know. Wish I were going ...

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011

48 is leaving at 10 PM Wednesday night, arriving 9-ish hours later via Akron, OH; Columbus, OH; Cincinnati, OH; and Lexington, KY...just in time to hit the ground running on Thursday.

Is brushing one's teeth permitted in the pits?

Yes but you have to buy the water from the venue.

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011

Anybody got any guesses about the weekend?

1261 preliminary scouting tells me that it's going to be CRAZY. The number of capable robots in attendance is somewhat insane.

For me, I could name like 16 teams that could all win, but I think it's going to come down to the minibots. Besides that, it's like tossing 4 coins to see which teams are going to take it away this weekend.

Here are the 10-point OPR and above teams for the Smoky Mountains Regional (the *official* name of the event, by the way!):

(taken from Bongle's Week 4 list):

Code:
Team Number OPR Rank    OPR Max
234         10          57.10
1519        57          40.13
71          93          33.21
1421        113         31.02
1592        123         29.12
1261        127         28.84
931         146         27.68
48          167         25.59
1208        224         21.67
1024        241         20.77
829         268         19.33
801         275         19.00
337         338         15.71
34          457         11.24
How many of those have been upgrading their abilities since they last played?

How many who have competed but who are not in the list above have done the same?

Additionally, 26 of 47 teams competing have not yet played, so who knows what great robots and minibots lurk within that group?

This should be a fun one!

Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011

1249 will be leaving in the morning for our four hour trip. We have worked on minibot deployment and claw since pittsburgh, practice bot works a lot better with the changes. Small but necessary changes to be more competitive. Looking forward to the new region and new friends

Thanks for the offer and I would love to be able to accept! Actually, I would ride in your bus luggage compartment, hitch-hike, or hop a freight train to get there ... if I could take the time away.

But, after spending the last three weekends at FRC events (Waterford, St. Louis, Niles) I fear my boss at work would fire me, or my more important boss at home would shoot me, if I were to go a-roboting for a fourth straight week.

(And yes, I still plan to be at the Michigan State Championship, and at the FIRST Championship in St. Louis. )

you have teams there that can put up 50 without a minibot. Get ready!

Yeah, for sure. I have a feeling that the qualifications won't be a walk in the part either.

Man, this is going to be one hell of a first year regional.
