Info on Houston

Just a note to teams that will be coming to Nationals. Team 118, the Robonauts, is putting together packets for the teams coming down that will have information such as places to eat, visit, and some Home Depot stores in the area around their hotels. It's just one of our ways to congratulate you on getting this far and to welcome you to our home city. - Heather

Will the packets be ready for the Lone Star Regional?

If so, I would be really interested in getting one. I know we plan to visit JSC on Wednesday but we haven't put much thought in to anything else. Someone from 624 mentioned some things in one of his post but we haven't planned anything other than JSC and getting there and competing. I really just hope we find some place good to eat. I know after building the robot for six weeks it seems like you can go without food, but it would be nice to eat. Only another 6 days before we leave for LSR! I look forward to seeing you there and hopefully finding some food.

That would work good. I know my gifted teacher really freaks out about these things so having an idea before hand might relieve some stress for her.

My email is willie_nelson_03@yahoo.com if you would like to send me the information you've gathered so far. Thank you for anything information about Houston you'll send.

I'll see you in Houston

PS Your robot looks scary from what I've seen. Good luck, I hope we are on the same alliance because I don't want to go against that thing.

Has anyone from the Houston area eaten at The Stables? Our hotel recommended them for our team (213 Dirty Birds) and we have reservations there on Thursday for a team dinner. We were just hoping we didn't book ourselves into a bad restaurant!

Just a note for anyone competing at the Lone Star Regional. Your team coach has been email information on the purchase of parking passes, concession box lunches and a map of Houston with eating places, grocery stores, home depot locations, radio shack locations and entertainment places. In addition, although we aren't having a team party we do have a special surprise on Friday afternoon for all teams. See ya next week! Lucia - Regional Director

What we were hoping to do is get the packets to the hotels for them to hand to the teams when they arive so if they want they can plan a few things. We might hand it out in the pits however so we can meet everyone and hand out our other things as well. Right now we're worrying about regionals so the details will be fixed after this Sat. -Heather

I noticed @ UCF one of the teams that did this left thier packets over at the pit admin station...it didnt get much publicity but It was a pretty good way to distribute it to at least one person per team, as almost every team goes there at SOME point...

A great place to check out (shameless plug b/c I help here) http://www.houstonmuseumdistrict.org/ the Museum of Natural Science is very great. Also if you want to head over there by the zoo also there is a nice park you can just hang out in. The weather will be nice, 70s. you people get the nice weather... Also I don't really know of good resturants that are in the area you will be staying at (1 I don't live there 2 I don't know what area you will be near), however there will be maps for food in the packet for each hotel and the Relient area. I hope that was some good info for you. If you need anymore just write back andI'll be seeing you guys in 3 days. - Heather
