We at team 4464 are looking forward to the Chesapeake regional. We had a blast at DC, and can't wait to get right back into FRC action!

Being a mentor for both 4464 and 449, this is easily the regional I've been anticipating most.

Good luck to all teams that are participating. See you there!

Week 7 seemed so far away...
but here we go!

FIRST Stop is still recruiting student ambassadors. Training will take place on Thursday at 10am. This is a fun job!

We are also going to need help from the teams to "adopt" visitors for a few minutes to sit with their team in the cozy stands, while explaining the game. We are trying to do Dean's homework and have a lot of visitors coming.

This is our first time coming to the Chesapeake regional and it is very helpful to have such an informative website available to us. Great job and we're very excited to be a part of this great regional!

Looking forward to only needing only one screen on the BlueAlliance to watch this and the MAR and FIM competitions.

Jen, nice to see you in CT, or was it Boston?
I know you're no relation, but Team Beatty, I mean Hammond won Midwest this weekend.

Thanks for all that you do for FIRST

Why, thank you! I was in Boston, wearing a blue shirt.
71 is one of my favorite teams and years ago some of the mentors told me I could be an "honorary member."

Jeff beat me to it. 0 days to go.

Early load in tonight from 6-8 pm for 5 team members just to drop off.

Information about the event including webcast here: http://www.mdfirst.org/programs/firs...-regional.html Read the load in instructions.

It's supposed to hit 90 degrees today but will be cooling down as the week goes on. Bring your raincoat for Friday.

Among the volunteers we have a team of AmeriCorps-NCCC. These 18-24 year olds are devoting a year of service to various projects and FIRST was able to engage them for the Chesapeake & DC regionals. Be sure to say hi to the hardworking crew in the grey shirts.

Team 45 is so excited as we are travelling by bus to Baltimore right now.
