My sons and I went to your Week Zero Event - after watching about an hour or so 4778 was the most complete team that I saw there. I love the teaser - and if you improved from 6 weeks ago, holy crap look out North Star!

Nice Job Stormbots!

Northstar is going to be a bloodbath. This is why 4607 loves competing here. It is not dominated by 1-2 teams, but so many come ready to have it out.

2826, 3130, 2175, 967, 3883, 2220, and this list can go on. There is no 'given' team - no true 'favorite' that will walk through Northstar - alliance selection will be interesting.

Minnesota may have been late to the FRC dance, but seeing the robots this year at NorthStar only exemplifies the arms race that is happening in Minny. No slight to the other Minnesota Regionals - but as Iron sharpens Iron, so be it with NorthStar!

I look forward to what will become in week six in Minneapolis! No wonder this regional tags out so early...

OH MY GOSH. THIS IS SO GOOD. I'm glad I was able to help with this!!!

Our driver been having a rough time lately (similar to the predicament that ended with him in a wheelchair at State) and this will most definetely cheer him up. He enjoys not only really good analysis, but compliments.

Let's hope for no actual [bad] blood in this bloodbath of a regional though.

As one of your Game Announcers for North Star - THANK YOU for the scouting report Ginger Power (and everyone that has added). How about some intel on those teams from China?



And who will bring me a Norman the Noodle?

Nick Hammes and I have decided I will bring Larry the Litter, Norman's evil cousin. >: )

I'll be on the sidelines building the nerf goalposts from the 2016 game.

Iowa's FRC 5576 Team Terminator is coming up for North Star, and they had a very impressive reveal video. We'll see how that translates to the real world, but they look strong coming into their first tournament of the season.

You weren't kidding! That is immensely impressive, not only for a rookie team, but any team. They'll undoubtedly play a factor going into Saturday afternoon.
