Great analysis of the Regional !

The 441 Robot really had some impressive engineering work at Bayou. I'm looking forward to seeing that robot fully functional.

The usual LSR players should improve on their 2nd event:
3103 Iron Plaid , 3335 Cy-Ranch , 3997 Screaming Chickens , 3999 Shadetree

I'm looking forward to the non-Texas teams visiting :
GearHogs 3612 from Arkansas, placed well at Arkansas Regional
Get Smart 3556 from Florida , made the elims at Orlando
KnightVision 3991 from Louisiana , great robot that should have made the eliminations at Bayou.
Invictus 3593 from Oklahoma
The 4 teams from Tennessee ( 2817 Bluff City Bots, 3516 RoboChiefs, 3961 MBA Execs, 4721 Tiger Bots )

No Spectrum 3847 is a major void at the Lone Star Regional. I'm hoping Lone Star moves away from Week 6, too many teams avoid week 6 due to easter weekend. I heard that multiple times from the Gulf coast teams at the Bayou Regional.

WILD CARDS:
how many are there at LSR this year ? (118, 624, 701, 1477, 3103, 5416 , 5572)

Indeed, after a not so perfect start to the season, 3991 looks to make improvements off of last week's troubles at Bayou. We have some new toys already fixed and ready. (Spoiler alert; we'll be snatching cans off the step and capping stacks) Other than that, we can't wait for another exciting event in Lone Star. Speaking for myself, Houston is definitely a second home for me, and having the competition the week of my 18th birthday will make it extra fun for me. Can't wait to see our Texas friends!!!

Does anyone know if this is the longest streak of consecutive team numbers attending a regional this year (5414, 5415, 5416)?

I remember when I got started as a student in 2005 that 66, 67, 68 were on an alliance at Ypsilanti, and for some reason I just thought that was the coolest thing. Sadly that's the only example of team numbers I'm aware of that that's a distinct possibility. It looks like they won't all be at the same district event this year.

Maybe you'll get your wish next year? With the NCAA Final Four coming to town Week 6 weekend, LSR might want/have to avoid Week 6.

DISCLAIMER: This is not an official rumor from my official source of rumors. I haven't talked to her about it, just thought about it when I was reminded the NCAA South regional is here this weekend.

Always smart to take the high (safe) road!

Some of the Houston teams have made a T-shirt exchange spreadsheet for the Lone Star Regional. Please feel free to add to it.
