Best news this week.

[216Robochick288]

Good Evening Waterloo Teams... I have some news that I regret having to report on behalf of my former team.

Team 216, 244, and 288 the RoboDawGs of Grandville Michigan have had one of their trucks and trailers stolen out of the hotel parking lot this afternoon.

The Truck is a 2005 Chevy Silverado crew cab [diesel] that is Red in colour. It has a RoboDawG decal on the back window. The Trailer is black that says "AB Rental" along the bottom. License plates on the truck and trailer are both Michigan License plates.

Inside the Trailer, we have 50 or so kid's worth of luggage, some robot bits and the official drive stations. We were in [Oshawa] Toronto when it got stolen at about 4:30 local time.

The local police have been notified about the Truck and Trailer being stolen, but if anyone in the area could keep an eye out and contact me about any information, that would be wonderful. My Father appreciates it, as well as the teams.

My Email to contact me at would be arwilson@mtu.edu , a personal message on Chief Delphi would work as well, but may not be checked as soon.

On behalf of Grandville's teams, we thank you for being a wonderful community that can have each other's backs in time of need, and look forward to finding the truck and trailer.

Looking like ONWA's rankings could get interesting. 1114/2056 play 1 together, and 2 against. If each wins one of the against matches, another team could go undefeated and seed higher.

[Jash_J]

The team that looks most likely to be undefeated and place first given that 1114/2056 split their games, is 610. However they do have a match against 1114 on the Saturday I believe.

Man there are some freaking awesome robots at this event. Deeper field than I first thought.

Saturday will be extremely fun to watch.

1114 and 2056 play each other twice.

610 plays 1114 once.

Whoever can get through that will seed first.

I disagree. Have you seen 2702, 1241, and 1310 (There's probably more, but those are just the three I've seen in the last 2 matches)?

They all look really solid. Any one of those teams could do some serious damage with the right partners. If they manage to face 2056/1114/610 with some decent partners they could take it.

Going to fully agree here. 2702, 1310, and 1241 are just the tip of the rest of these awesome teams. I'm truly excited to see how this event plays out. Everyone has really stepped up their game. So many others show great potential if combined.

[Jash_J]

Unfortunately for us, we play 2056/1114 both in one match and 610 in another. It wont be easy to say the least. But we will try our hearts out.

GTR West will be exciting as well with the return of 4343 and 1503. Teams will be even further refined. Us Canadian teams fight till we got nothing left!

[Akash Rastogi]

1310 just added a nice new dimension to this event. Dat full court shot + potential 7 disc auton. If they can iron out the auton they will give 610/2056/1114 a run for their money.
