Looking forward to seeing everyone -- look for me in the pit in the floppy orange hat, reminding you to update your software and fasten down wires.

It's just Minnesota without access to PSEO, and with public finance laws that Tax Increment Finance coordinators complain to their children about.

We love you, Wisconsin/East Minnesota teams.

After missing last year because my California Team was competing, I am so happy to be back as your Game Announcer. As everyone knows, defense IS an integral part of the game and will make scoring tough. One thing I would like to suggest is that teams avoid playing hard defense during practice matches on Thursday. Thursday is meant as a day for teams to practice, perfect strategies, scoring, fine tune their robots and some teams just learning how to drive their robot. We don't do game announcing on Thursdays because it seems to add a competitive feel to the practices.

So as you set your robots on the field, talk with the opposing alliance and think about no defense Thursdays to help teams with the basics. Just a thought.

Looking forward to seeing all the teams.
