I wrote this thread hastily, and didn't realize I put "dominated" in there. I didn't mean to write it, and sorry to any GKC teams that might have been offended by this hastily wriiten post.

No offense taken, FIRST Team 1986 was very impressive. FIRST Team 1208 is looking forward to competing with them again in St. Louis.

Anybody know of a webcast planned for this regional?

NASA never listed one for 2011 (http://robotics.arc.nasa.gov/events/...cwebcasts.php). So I'm not holding out high hopes for this year either.

By the way, this is our team's first time at the St. Louis regional since our rookie year in 2007, although we have had some team members volunteer here in recent years. From all reports the arena is beautiful and the teams are friendly.

Back when we were rookies teams like 45 and 829 were extremely helpful in helping us understand FIRST and improve our robot. As we return to St. Louis we would love to return the favor. Need a nut or bolt, we're bringing spares. Need help with Labview or putting together an autonomous routine, stop on by and we'll see what we can do.

This is going to be a great regional. Can't wait to get the party started.

Team 1706 from Wentzville,MO went all the way to Championship quarter final last year, and they look pretty good this year.

The team looked pretty impressive, they had both a build and a separate design team with a couple students doing all their design on CAD.

When I first joined them as a mentor, they were usually ranking on the bottom, they really began doing good when I left...

Cheers,
Marcos.

Oh hey all, this is the PCH "Nuts'N'Colts" [4404] lead chiming in here. We BARELY got in there this year ; we were actually waitlisted (that was SCARY, man!). We've one veteran (eh, that's me, THHS Steel Hawks [2601] in NY and PNHS Robohobos [2893] last year here), and we've got some pretty crazy stuff in store though we don't know how well it'll do on the field yet, hehe. Had some assistance from retired team, "W.A.R." [1609] and the Robohobos as well; from what I've seen this wasn't too bad for our rookie year.

Looking forward to seeing you all through the rest of the week!
