[DDRAngelKurumi]

This is only our second year at the competition, and only one person from last year is on the team again this year. Team 1258! Woot! Only 2 weeks!!!!

[Madison]

Team 488 will be there with X.

[Rick TYler]

I could tell you, but then I'd have to ... well, you know.

You can find the Official List here.

[Nate Edwards]

Team 957 will be defending its share of the Regional Title at Portland and hoping to regain the Chairman's Award, which we won in 2003 at the Seattle version of the Pacific Northwest Regional

Team 955 will be there to win the Regional Autodesk Visualization Award, if we haven't won it in Sacramento first. ^_^ I won't be going to Portland, so I'll be missing out on plenty of actions.

[Crash852]

Team 492 will also be there to defend the regional champion title.

Good luck to all the teams going!

Hey, I'm in Portland! I hope someone will pick our robot to be in alliance with em. We never got a chance to shine... We've probably experienced almost every problem that exists.

We have practically rebuilt the whole robot there on the arena and on the last match (last Qualifying match of the day), when we finally got everything working! The radio fell out LOL... (Someone forgot to tie it down)

It was a crazy day; I hope the robot works tomorrow, so we can prove that we aren't a piece of Junk. Our robot (if stays at current condition) should able to stack tetras on the center goal with 100% accuracy.

I can't say that I have seen a gorrilla anywhere. o.O odd. Sadly, we are lacking in the whole costume theme thingy. All we have are camo shirts. -_-

Calvin, 1624, 1441 and others who had minor issues with their robots, You guys did an awesome job. As an inspector, I was extreamly happy to see that every team at PNW regional was inspected by friday morning. 95 % of the teams were inspected without any problems on thursday. All teams at Portland had an amazing showing on thursday and friday. As far as I have seen on/off the field all terms have done extreamly well.
1624 girls scout team pretty much had to rewire and redesign their gripper to fit within the rules and with the help of other Gracious teams had a working robot by friday morning. The last two days have been great and i can't wait for the the final one.

While I was reffing I saw extreamly few penalites. Clearly the teams have been extra carefull at this weeks competition.

Good luck to all the teams tomorrow and at other regionals around the states.
btw: don't forget to smile for my camera on/off the field.

Thanks,
Akshay
