Folks,

We are only one day away from this much anticipated regional!
Serving as Teams Coordinator, I've had some great requests, and worked on a lot of suggestions for our regional. I wanted to make sure to state that if there is anything else I can do for you (coming as an individual) or your team (competing at the regional, or just coming to enjoy) in the next few days, feel free to get in touch with me. I'll be more than happy to solve a problem, answer questions... pretty much do everything but fix the robot!

Also, as a side note, if you are a participant in the regional, fill out your activity survey as soon as possible! You'll receive a lanyard and name badge customized for you and your team. Your team leader has already received information about this. Don't be the only one without one! You can find the activity survey at http://first.purdue.org/boilermakerr...ctivitysurvey/.

Thanks, and let's have a great competition!

Has there been a webcast secured for this regional yet?

Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it there until Saturday and it would be great to keep track of my team's action from work on Friday.

Thanks

We are currently working on securing a webcast URL. As soon as we have it, we will post it on our website. The website has been posted in this thread several times.
Please check back often - we do not know when we will have it available, but hope to soon.
Thanks,

Yeah, I didn't mean spy photo per say.
But that pic on the indianafirst website DOES look like a spy photo.

Actually, it's pretty funny, I was watching the webcast this afternoon and saw The Beast practicing. But from the angle and the distance that the camera was at I couldn't see team names or numbers. But I could sure see the robot was driving well and scoring a heck of a lot of tetras. I thought to myself, "Hey, I bet that's The Beast" Turns out I was right!

[Kyle Love]

One of the best scoring robots I saw today was team 868. They tried to stack 6 tetras at one time! They only got 4 to stick though. Wildstang is a sight to see...a very unique lift with 2 tetra holders. Hammond looks pretty good. Tomorrow night we will all know who is really doing good. Good luck to all teams there!

[Ryan Dognaux]

Excellent day of competition so far today. Definately check out the webcast tomorrow if you get a chance because it's only going to get better. One memorable thing from today was in one of our matches, team 382 was grabbing a tetra from the human loader. Time was running out, and they were the only ones out of the home zone. They flung around from nearly mid field to head home, and the tetra literally flew straight off their robot and capped the center goal near the player station. Amazing.

Watch for Scott Ritchie's head in 234's matches.

Hay everyone,

We asked all attending teams to vote on the below awards at the end of Friday. Just wanted to recognize these teams and let everyone know..

Announcing the winners of these awards:

"Play of the Day" = Team 111
"Best Offense" = team 71
"Best Defense" = team 963
"Professional Grade" = Team 1501
"The WOW Factor" = Team 16

We announced and presented these awards at the Team Social this evening. Three of the teams unfortunately were not there to accept them - however we'll find you tomorrow.

All of the teams have been outstanding so far - this is one tough group of robots and we can be sure to see some exciting Saturday matches.

The team social was fun - Dean Simmons and the Kamens rocked the house and had sports activities of all kinds. Hope everyone had a good time - where else can you get corn-shaped stress relievers?

Anyone that can keep CD updated throughout the day, please do!!

Look forward to tomorrow....
thanks!
