Re: Things you noticed in your first Regional

Three numbers: 233.

All the pink...

It probably didn't help that I had magenta-lensed safety glasses on too.

Re: Things you noticed in your first Regional

I think I was like 7 or 8, so I don't remember a whole lot...

Re: Things you noticed in your first Regional

I remember it was the Florida Regionals 03. It was utterly overwhelming, but very enjoyable. I felt as if I had found that safe haven I had been looking for.

Re: Things you noticed in your first Regional

I realized about five minutes after I walked into the pit at the GLR, that I didn't have my safety glasses on. Nobody told me.

SHAME ON YOU, SAFETY CAPTAINS!

It never helped that our safety glasses were yellow (intense headache ensues). God, I'm never wearing yellow glasses AGAIN!

Re: Things you noticed in your first Regional

The first regional that I ever attended was Great Lakes Regional in '03. I just remember walking in to the pits for the first time and seeing all of the teams and robots and just getting chills. I guess that's when I was hooked.

I also vaguely remember my first mid/post-regional loss of voice.

Re: Things you noticed in your first Regional

My first regional was in 03. I definitely remember the variance in robot designs as I thought that most of the robots were going to be basically the same thing. I also remember all of the craziness that happens in the pits. It is definitely an organized chaos of sorts. But the thing that struck me was the GP and how no one was booing or how no matter what was going on people were cheering even if it wasn't their team!
