Boston Regional 2013

[Samwaldo]

From release videos, and other regionals, its looking like alot of 30 point climbers will be present! Hopefully most will be tested and modified from past regionals, and alot will be seen making it to the top. Also i hope alot of climbers, doesn't mean alot of falls.

Team 1099 will be seen on the ground (with a 10 point hang of course) picking discs up and shooting.

Sidenote: On FIRSTs website it says 716 will not be attending???

The list in the OP came from TBA. TBA does not necessarily update when the FIRST site does.

Hoping to make it to the regional this year...

Thanks :>

As we discovered at our Week 1 regional, once you make it to the top you also have to stay there!
After three practice days and lots of robustness testing at Palmetto we're busy making some necessary tweaks and expect to be at Boston with both a robot working to it's full potential and an improved lightshow.

I'm headed up tomorrow, hope to see you there!

Hey guys. My team isn't competing there but I'll be coming from New York
to see how the action is up there in Boston.
Good luck to all teams competing!
