I've never noticed the "don't panic" sticker on you guys...

But with no more Players' BBQ, what will be done at CVR this weekend?

Thanks for putting this together! It is a great overview of the upcoming festivities.

However, I have one correction:

In fact, 148 and 624 (1st seed) paired up at Texas Robot Roundup post season event during the LogoMotion game. They were edged out by 118 (2nd seed) and 1477 in the finals.

Tears. Lots of tears.

Which are not nearly as delicious as Players' BBQ.

(And probably not nearly as salty, either)

125 has had the same student coach their team for years and no one talks about that.

Not true, we switched up at NEU the last two years because said "student" was busy elsewhere.

I'll have you know that I won't let your facts get in the way of my narrative.

Ambitious rookies with plenty of driver practice- 5817

ALRIGHT! We're Ambitious!

"Plenty" of driving practice
not too much... Not too little

I think the team number on your account might be wrong.

5817 is quite impressive. However, Csmarshall appears to be on 5917. What I meant by my previous post is that I assume, since he was replying to a comment about 5817 and that he has a bench grinder as his avatar, that he incorrectly set his team number when creating his account.

Thanks for the 1817 compliment, but they did lost a few mentors this year. We'll see how they'll do this year.

I do think 3005 should be on teams radar. I'm really looking forward to the elims with 148, 624 and 2468

OK, a write up of the AZ North Regional, but neither of the CA regionals? 4 Einstein teams at LA and 3 WC teams from the last 2 years at CVR? Who's the odd team out at CVR when the alliances form? The intrigue there alone with worth a long post...

BTW, does 254 have a new drive coach?
