[EricRobodox]

Oh... if your robot is broken and you dont have a part that you need, youll probably see me or get advise from me, ill be running the FIRST Aid Station, put up by my team, 599 RoboDox, every year at all our comps. So, ill be there ready to help people in need.

[Rick TYler]

There is a really good chance that I will be there (without my team) on Saturday. Any CDers want a moss-covered old guy to hang with?

Sure! You'd be welcome. At least be sure to stop by and say hi.

Does anybody know what the machining resources will be this year?

We're sending down the trailer for the regional.

So any mill/lathe work that doesn't need to be terribly precise, welding, and all your standard shop tools.

As Cory said, the NASA trailer is scheduled to be there. This was a big topic of discussion on the Regional committee. We were really glad when we were told the trailer was coming as we do not have a good alternate for the Forum.

You have no idea how happy I am to hear this!

And my entire team is pumped and ready to go! It should be an interesting competition this year.

For the thousands of people who care, I will be at the So Cal regional on Saturday. I'll wear my Team Top Gun t-shirt so I should be instantly recognizable as no one else from my team will be there. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the highly coveted "Top Gun" buttons, since we gave them all away at PNW, but I could bring a big ZipLok bag of slugs if you want some, and hungry airline employees don't steal them.

Teams are not allowed to sell or give out anything that competes with the venues revenues.

[EricRobodox]

My team has got hack saws and hand drills, basically what we build the robot with!

ahaha. I dont know. CheesyPoofs are not going this year, so i dont know if that NASA van thing they have will be there. Im sure there will be a couple machines a couple teams will have, like a small bandsaw or drillpress, that is if there is no machining area.

[Rafi Ahmed]

I know are whole team is pumped for it.

Also if any team needs help with pretty much anything beside mill/lathe work then you can come to our pit besides the FIRST Aid Station 599 is setting up.
