Great Regional Human Interest Stories

I'm going to apply an AED to this thread just once, then I'm giving up.

Scene: Team 1369's pit. They are the Scallywags.

Me: OK gang, let's hear it!
Team: Arrrrr!!!!

I love those people.

I think you got yer team number messed up. 1369 is Minotaur down in Tampa, FL. Perhaps you meant 1359?

Yep. My apologies to the Pirate gang (seeded #1 at PNW, by the way).

Last year’s story but I hope you will indulge me.
Some of you in NEMO have heard this story.
Chesapeake Regional 2005: Finals.
Kathie Kentfield from Conn., co-founder of NEMO has her son on one side of the field.
Jenny Beatty from MD., co-founder of NEMO has her son on the opposite alliance.
But that is not the story. The story is this was broadcast by NASA TV.
My son’s 101 year-old great-grandmother is watching from a nursing home in Conn. and for the first time can see what all the robot talk the past few years is about. And her great-grandson is ON TV!
Kathie’s son’s 80+ year-old grandmother is watching from Florida and can see what all the robot talk is about. And her grandson is ON TV!
