2012 Bayou Regional

I think I saw some 418 members at Alamo. Were you there scouting for Bayou and Lone star too ?

Also my question about where to eat was never answered ;__;

This year's game is fairly harsh in several aspects, we like to watch a Week-1 regional up close so we can know what to expect. All teams had problems of robots running up on balls, it was almost a guarantee that robots would put balls under the bridges (only GatorZilla could remove them if they were close enough to the edge), and it was good to see if teams would try to make use of the Key to draw penalties (like 1477 was a master at doing).

418 loved going to the Alamo Regional, we had our Lead Technical Mentor (me, Danny Diaz) as ScoreKeeper/Field Power person, and our Head Coach (Tony Bertucci) was one of the Lead Robot Inspectors. Several team members came down to watch, to size up the competition and the robot capabilities we will need to match.

The thing about New Orleans is that there are so many good places to eat - how will we ever decide? I found this list when looking for restaurants. It's fun to look through. It also looks like it is a good idea to call ahead and make sure the restaurant is open before we go. This is information provided in the Bayou Regional website. (Scroll down past the hospital info to the restaurant section. )

This is a new experience for our team and I'm very excited that we're coming to BAYOU REGIONAL!

It was great seeing a lot of teams tonight at the Pontchartrain Center. Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!! The TigerBytes are thinking about hosting a little video game/social night at our hotel tomorrow night. We'll update everyone tomorrow at the competition if we decide to give it a go.

Good luck to everyone!!

Can anyone on the ground at Bayou let me know what is going on? No match results on usfirst.org, TBA, Spyder...no web stream working. Last I heard they had gotten through 5 matches. The first Arkansas rookie team to compete this year is there and I was certainly looking forward to at least monitoring their progress without pestering the team.

Well, one tweet got through 40 minutes ago, and another one just now.
I guess we can keep hoping!
