2013 Hub City Regional

Time to get an official thread going for this new and potentially fantastic regional. Earlier discussions can be found here.

As of today FIRST is showing 29 registered and 15 slots open for anyone wanting to join us week 1 in Lubbock, Texas.
  • 6 rookies (so far)
  • 8 different States plus Mexico are represented
  • 10 of the 29 teams have won a regional or been finalists in the last 3 years.
  • 8 of the 29 teams have won a technical award for their robot in the last 3 years. (Engineering Excellence, Industrial Design, Innovation in Control, Creativity)
  • 5 teams have been awarded a Regional Chairman's, or Engineering Inspiration award in the last 3 years, or are a World Chairman's Award Winner.
  • 1 team is a defending World Champion

Being a new regional what can people tell me about:
...the venue.
...things to see in Lubbock if we have some time Thursday night.
...great places to eat.
...Will there be a webcast?

Re: 2013 Hub City Regional

Head mentor of Team 1817 (Lubbock FRC Team) reporting in.
I can answer a few questions:

The venue is the City Bank Coliseum, it is located on the Texas Tech campus.
It's a decent size, should be sufficient for a new regional.

Lubbock is a college city. Texas Tech has a huge beautiful campus (one, if not the biggest college campus excluding Air Force and their runways.) There are a few museums and cool things to see on campus. The Lubbock area doesn't have anything to really brag about other than Tech however.

For food, I for one recommend One Guy From Italy Pizza, best in LBK in my opinion. There are a few chains like Texas Roadhouse and that are always good. There is a phenomenal steak house named Cagel's located near the limits of town, (conveniently located close to our workshop), it's pricey but worth it.

Not sure on a webcast yet, but I don't see why not.

Team 1817 is very excited to compete on our home field, and bring FRC to West Texas.

At least the prairie dogs are cute!

And I think they have a tornado generator there.

We're looking forward to taking on this new Texas regional. Great to see some good competition in the making.

Re: 2013 Hub City Regional

New registrations have been steadily coming in and Hub City is now at 33 teams with 11 slots remaining. Hopefully we are on the way to a full compliment of teams for a fine new event. This regional is shaping up to be an interesting mix of teams from all directions (Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, & Mexico) and a wide range of young and old teams, from hall-of-fame Bomb Squad to several new home-town rookie teams. A blend of teams the majority of which will all be meeting for the first time, so that should be fun. We're excited to help christen this new regional a look forward to helping the event staff and all the new teams in any way we can.

Re: 2013 Hub City Regional

Any word on a webcast for this regional? We've got a lot of friends and family back home that can't make the trip with us, but are anxious to root us on from afar.

Another snowstorm is sweeping through the area here, but the charter bus says they'll drive regardless of the weather.

Looking forward to making some new friends down in Texas and catching up with some old ones.

Tried to set one up. No internet available for it. Our only hope is someone letting us set up a hot spot with their unlimited data plan phone. Not likely.

This is outrageous! This is probably one of the regionals most in FIRST wanted to see and now no one will be able to. *cries*

Awwww man. A lot of people were looking forward to it.

Can you at least see if someone can record matches for later viewing?

Re: 2013 Hub City Regional

No internet mean no live twitter feed of scores either. That's really surprising. I figured that was a minimum requirement for a full on regional.

Re: 2013 Hub City Regional

This is actually an extremely interesting situation. Most regionals at the very least have a DSL or T1 line.

So I'm assuming that match results will only update on FIRST's website after the event is over? Or at least daily?

Re: 2013 Hub City Regional

IIRC, FIRST standards only call for 2 internet drops...one for scorer's table and one for the event facilitators.
