If possible, my team would like to borrow a battery beak at north star to test our batteries' condition.

2175 The Fighting Calculators plan to provide both webcasts at their website

Can't wait for Thursday!

Do you know if anyone plans on recording matches for youtube/tba?
The recordings for previous years has been nonexistent...

Note to all North Star competing teams if you require data for alliance selections
due to lack of a scouting team. Please feel free to ask me and I will gladly share our accumulated data. If there are any teams who have some questions or need some feedback for scouting feel free to talk to me at North Star.

We have posted the video for North Star to the Blue Alliance every year so far, and I wouldn't think the plan would be any different this year (I'm not involved in the webcast really). I'm not sure why none of the 10k lakes video is up (I'm not even sure that we ran that webcast in previous years).

Attention any team attending 10,000 lakes:We recently had a member misplace our labview usb disk and are in desperate need of one to install it on a new computer we are getting before the competition. This is for the computer we are using as a driver station. Is there any that would be able to loan it to us? We need it ASAP! We also know our key so that wont be an issue. Thanks!

I have one in Rochester so not really convenient to get it to you... if you don't find one before then, I'll have LabView disk image on an external hard drive that you can use -- I'll be inspecting wearing a yellow hat. Stop by pit 2530 or the Inspection station and have someone find me if you are still wanting by Thursday morning.

We may share our scouting files at north star to teams.

Thanks (already?) go to 2175 for use of their batterybeak and 171 for helping us, and congratulations go to 4260 for a great rookie day.

111's going to be a force come elims.

[Jon Stratis]

A big THANK YOU to all the teams at North Star. You all did a great job getting through inspection and helping those teams that needed it get ready for inspection. Tomorrow should be a great day!

We were not in charge of web casting 10K lakes in 2011.

We will be archiving both events this year and putting them up on TBA as soon as possible after the event.

What an awesome event! We won't forget it anytime soon, as we had Kinect working for 8 pt. autonomous and massive bridge balances. Thanks go to 2177 (Robettes), 2512 (Duluth East Daredevils), 111, 2225, 2220, and anyone else we may have missed for excellent double balances, and to every alliance partner for being excellent and easy to work with. Congratulations to 111, 2512, 4266 for an amazing show in the finals. The #2 alliance had an excellent autonomous program. And the #5 alliance, as the overwhelming crowd favorites, gave us the best matches of the day. I loved it all (and we seeded 20 places better than last year).

However I have one major concern about the northstar venue as a whole: While traffic flow has improved from last year with the addition of a walking lane in the front rows, one entrance only creates a needless traffic jam and makes some pits much less accessible.

On behalf of WildStang, I want to give a shout out to every team at the North Star regional. You all were very kind and were amazing to be around, I hope to see many of you in the future. I would like to also thank 2512 and 4226 for being such amazing alliance partners, very proud of 4226 doing so well especially at their first regional.

Another shout out to the the Number 1 alliance of 2883,3293, and 1816. You were a fantastic alliance. I am sad that things did not work out between us and 3293, but you guys were fantastic and I look forward to competing with you guys in future events.

One last shout out to 1816, fantastic job at winning the Chairman's award. Your team really did deserve it and I wish you the best of luck at Championship.

Here's the semi final match one of the fourth alliance upsetting the firs alliance:

I wish every match was like this..

Hey 111, don't sweat it. Your Team was an inspiration and we look forward to competing with you in the future.

Thanks to all of the Teams and volunteers in the North Star Regional.

A really big THANK YOU to our Alliance Partners 2883 and 1816. Our Alliance was very exciting and with a successful double balance, there would have been a third match in the finals. You can't ask for much more than that.

I want to let my Team know how proud I am of them for their efforts this year. We really worked and played with heart and put together some amazing matches to win our first 13 matches at the Regional. Finishing 9-0 and at the Top of the Standings after the qualifying rounds was well beyond our expectations.

You have set the bar very high for our future Teams.
