2013 Boilermaker Regional

[Carolyn_Grace]

I'm curious, who submitted Chairman's Award at Boilermaker Regional?

3176, Purple Precision submitted there, and we're excited to talk with all of the other teams who take time to create this awesome documentation.

1736 Robot Casserole will be there for the first time. The team is excited to be at an event new to us and be able to work with a few other Caterpillar teams from central Illinois.

I've never been to Purdue and am looking forward to seeing the campus.

Here's a thread with our robot pictures and video. I can answer any questions you might have.

Let me be the first to welcome FRC Team 359 and 1736 to BMR.
I can hardly wait till Thursday.

One thing BMR does very well is promote the host university. Thursday and Friday both have multiple campus tours - make sure your team members take full advantage of these. Adults too!
Other things you'll need to know:

Let's all go nuts!
Robots! Robots!

Boiler Up!

Looks like we won't be baking in the barn this year. See some of you tonight, the rest tomorrow.

Anyone excited?

[Alan Anderson]

I'm too busy to be excited. Maybe I'll have some time to relax and get excited on Saturday.

This.
10 years into this program, and the thought of a Sunday nap never fails to make me smile and yawn in anticipation. I'm definitely excited to officially compete with a new team. New minds, new challenges, fresh perspective.

I'll be there on Friday and Saturday. Best way to spend spring break.

[Clayton Yocom]

I'm excited for sure. This is the first time we'll set up for a regional on Wednesday, which will be very helpful tomorrow. I hope the space isn't compromised too much due to the nets.

We are 60 miles north driving from Chicago. Should be there soon!
See you all starting with bag and tag.

Don't know if they will be broadcasting today but here is the site for the Boilermaker webcast.

Watching the feed right now on The Red Alliance.

868 is the real deal this year. If 868 and 359/1501 end up pairing up, this regional is over.

Oh I think you'll find a few other teams with something to say about that.

Quoted for truth.

Watching on the webcast today, I can't be sure how many teams still have yet to get on the field. I know that those Hawaiians must have loved getting so much field time... they'll be the best practiced team in FRC by far.
