Hmm... can we say "Who dat BBAT?" heheheh.... so yea, the usual ComBBAT crowd, and from what I've been hearing from a bunch of people on other teams... we're going to have a very high-spirited competition, I can't wait... I think all the teams are going to make it a very good time as always.

A personal hope is that the field will be working without any glitches in the morning tommorow, unlike all the problems regionals had last year. However, that's probably just because I'm setting up lol.

In just a few hours I'll be on my way to UCF! I can't wait too see you all there. Even though we're not taking a large number of students this year. *shrugs* Oh well, it'll still be awesome!

Go Cutting Edge! Lol. Good luck to everyone! See ya there!

Well, I just got back from setting up today... and from everything I saw... we're in good shape in my humble opinion.

[Andrew Rudolph]

The set up looks good, same as last year with the tent, but better than last year, level floor, projector not on the roof. Looks like its going to be a good comp and even better weather!

[miketwalker]

Oh yea, one last minute thing... I'm still around this year, so if anybody's having problems with programming/autonomous/wiring/etc.... come grab me. Unfortunatly I've been so busy that I haven't been able to organize a workshop for UCF (I'll still hold one at nationals again however) to have today... and I haven't made print-outs or anything lol, but feel free to come grab me from 21's pits... or you'll see me around, or something. Good luck to all!

2 things....
1) When you're watching, look closely down by the scorekeeper (he has a table with 2 flat screens on it built in in this big case) and if you see a guy there, it's probably me if it's the afternoon... good view of the field and the whole FIRST volunteer thing
2) Heheheh... from the way the network people were joking around when setting up... if ANYBODY other than the 2 or 3 people authorized that are working there use the Wi-Fi... they will be kicked out of the place if they don't stop connecting in, or just plain old hacked lol. They changed it from last year, so no more of SPAM's 5000 laptops connecting to the wifi.
