Who's Ready For West Michigan?

[Mark Pierce]

Grand Rapids looks to be an interesting regional.

Only 11 of the 42 teams have not competed this year.

8 teams were seeded tenth or above at earlier regionals. (I included 857, they tied for tenth in Ave. Qp at MMR.)

7 Rookies.

10 local teams. (Who are waking up in their own beds each day)

Lots of other excitement also, including 107, 71, and many others.

I can hardly wait!

[Matt Reiland]

It's going to be fun but like you said tough with some of the familiar numbers coming.

I kind of hope everyone else falls apart so we can seed better than at GLR

[Nate Smith]

I'm leaving in 11 hrs(7am EST) for West MI...how ready I am will not be determined until I go to sleep Wednesday night...have a lot to set up when I get there, unless they're WAY ahead of schedule...

T-4 hour for me to leave , that is for vaction in floridia.
I never would have thought I would dread going on a vacation.
I hope someone is going to post updates duing the event .
If anyone is going to post updates could they please let me know.

This should be a fun event, there is no wildstag or technocat
this year. Good luck to all the teams ,particularly the west michigan teams .

If your in GR stop by our pits and say hello, Pastor Ron and pastor

Oops!

It's actually only 7 untested robots! I accidently missorted the Buckeye guys.

here's a list of some categories. I may get to the awards/seeds later, but there are other things to do.....
