Lone Star Regional

[Andrew Schuetze]

I have had nothing to complain about in four years. I really don't know what one can do about the noise in the pits and the PA system. It was extremely loud in the center aisle where we were yet others in the corners couldn't hear...All that concrete creates an acoustical mess. The raffle did seem to drag a bit and I'm not sure it was worth it. I think everyone did enjoy the mascot challenge. You might have mascots register for that event and not do it as what appeared to be an impromtu thing. As I was watching that, I thought that it would be fun to have some sort of skills competition in addition to the mascot shooting challenge. Maybe a driver obstacle course with default robots. Maybe team 57 could bring in some retired 'bots with similar drivetrains....Not sure how to stage it or how fun it would be for the crowd but some sort of programmer challenge is another skill area.... mechanic races to see who can change a tranny and reinstall it into a bot....Sounds like there is enough here to form a seperate regional skills competition

Well my team (704) thought it went real well. The only complaint was the traffic in the pits, we need a little wider walk through by the announcers and projectors. Got very crowded walking, especially with the bot to get to the machine shop after thursdays fiasco of our mast been bent 90 degrees. Other than that it went great, I look forward to seeing you all there next year!

LSR was awesome this year. From our eyes over at the 364 pits everything ran extremely smooth and we even ended up ahead of schedule on all of the days. We had a great time and this, our 5th year at LSR was one of the best. Cant wait for next year, 364.

They need to invite down the teams that got 2nd and 3rd place, And maybe have the winning robots lined up on the field during the awards.
