From what I hear, some special songs are being cooked up just for the Wisconsin Regional.

Has anyone ever heard the Offspring sing about lubricating gearboxes? heh.

Well if any teams in the area get Milwaukee Channel 12 News, you may have seen 269's Ricky Quinones and Elise Janowak in studio talking about the Wisconsin Regional and FIRST Robotics in general. It was pretty cool, except they just came back from Boilermaker, which means that they are probably sleeping all day today. Good job to you two, and Eric Hoffman as well, even though they didn't show him.... poor eric.

Tyler, it is likely that the Wisconsin Regional will be webcasted. At the moment, the NASA Website has WI listed as tentative. Then again, BMR was not on that page and they were webcasted for the entire weekend, as far as I know. I'm sure Ricky Q., Kevin Kolodziej or someone else from the WI Regional Planning Committee will give us a heads up on Thursday or Friday about a link to the 'cast. As the site says, stay tuned!

Team 81 is going to the Milwaukee regional, and I am so happy it's almost time to see "Double Vision" again! (That's the name of our 'bot.)

I'm going to college in Wisconsin next year and I would like to mentor a FIRST team. Are there any teams that need mentors with chairmans help?

Also is there any way I could contact teams and talk to coaches about mentoring??

Thanks

So that makes 2 Regional Championships and a Regional Chairman's for Wildstang...is it possible that they could be this year's Team 67?

[pathew100]

Yes, look out for Wildstang this year. They have an excellent shooter with awesome camera tracking, can vacuum the balls off the floor really well and have a great strategy.
