2015 Virginia Regional

[DRH2o]

Really looking forward to the VA Regional this year. One of our really great sponsors -- Mid-Atlantic Broadband has developed a side competition for the 6 SOVA Teams they Sponsor (only 5 of us are at VA). We are #MBC_FRC_Teams (1095, 1262, 1598, 3258, and 5279). This is the MBC Challenge Cup (link here http://m.mbc-va.com/news/details/id/...host-mbc-chall ) There is a social media challenge as well -- tweet #MBCChallengeCup #teamtalon1598 to help us win . You can substitute the team #(otherteam) to help other teams as well, but I'm not going to put their # here -- we want to win. They can tell you their # if they want to. THANK YOU Mid-Atlantic Broadband !!!!

1156 Under Control
2363 Triple Helix

Y'all want any restaurant recommendations or sightseeing suggestions or something or are you just getting some sleep?

Sorry to pull the conversation away from restaurant recommendations, but does anyone know where I can find the webcast link for the regional?

NASA Langley normally provides the webcast equipment and the link will be posted here: http://robotics.nasa.gov/events/2015_frcwebcasts.php

Now back to food.

I'm a big fan of Alamo BBQ in Union Hill and The Black Sheep a few blocks from the Seigel Center on W. Marshall St.
