Looking forward to this year's Cowtown Throwdown! It is always a blast and we have so many competitive teams in the area this year. Team 1939 signed up early in the week.

For teams out there that are considering attending, sign up early. I'd love to see some more out of town teams again this year. It is always fun getting to meet new people and it is a helpful group of teams if you need anything.

Specifically, it would be cool to have 525 and Neutrino come down from Iowa. We missed having 525 at the GKC Regional and Neutrino is just cool.

Mr. Brown, who should we contact if we would like to volunteer at CTTD? Two of 2410's alumni, myself and Liz, would like to volunteer at this absolutely wonderful event. We're both going to Missouri S&T at Rolla, so it's a short drive back. In particular, I was wondering if I'd be able to shadow the MC, as I'd eventually like to MC an event or two myself in the future. We, however, would be available for any volunteering position y'all find yourself short in. If you or anyone from Driven could either post back here or PM me then we'll work out details from there. Thanks!

I'll also let our head mentor know that registration is open, and you can expect Team 2410, BV CAPS Metal Mustang Robotics to have a strong showing at the event, and we'll be sure to bring our spirit too!

I'm sad that I'll be missing it this year. This will be the first time since it started that I won't be attending. =(


For any teams outside of the Kansas/Missouri area that have never attended I strongly urge you try to attend this event. It has always been a blast with wonderful teams both locally and teams that traveled to get there.

1985 will be there! We're excited to finally be able to compete with the teams in the Kansas City area, including the ones we've already played with at Championships.

3397 should be there! We are super pumped for the event.

Edit: Just registered us!

Just uncrated the robot today from Champs. Looks like it has at least one more tournament in her.

Team Driven always hosts a fantastic event and we are looking forward to getting our new crop of rookie members up to speed there. Deffinetly a bonus to get to see some of our St. Louis friends come over whom we missed this year at GKC.

Team 3937 is planning on attending. It is always a blessing to play against some of the best. We had the honor of playing with some great MO teams at the Brawl last year. Looking forward to one last ascent with our 2013 robot!

Last year there was. Imagine there will be again. Wonder if anyone wants to get together a 2337 style system. Really enjoyed the high def fish-eye view.

Agreed! I'd love one last chance to be with my alma matter I'm hoping to convince my *new* team #2167 Radical T3ch to come down if they aren't busy with FTC stuff, as I feel that CTTD is crucial to give a team some much needed off-season practice.

Was disappointed to not have the opportunity to see our 7 disc auto's go head to head in the finals of GKC. Perhaps a rematch is in order.

With your new team... Are you joining the 2 year Missouri Academy as a high school student, or attending NWMSU? Kind of curious to learn more about the Academy.

Don't think we'll see 525 unless we all take a trip up to Iowa.

It was tough not competing against you guys! Maybe we'll see you at CTTD!
And I'm headed off to NWMSU as a 2nd semester freshman.. I'm majoring in Geographic Information Systems w/ an emphasis in Emergency Response & I'm also going to take a few pre-engineering classes as well I'm looking forward to bringing my knowledge to the team.
Are you a senior?
