Re: 2006 Palmetto Regional

After winning Purdue we are pumped to be in our own backyard!!

I'm still a little cold from Purdue so I hope Columbia will be warm!

This is by far going to be my favorite regional and I can't wait to see all the SC teams in the house!!

Re: 2006 Palmetto Regional

Hmmmmmm................

If I book a roundtrip flight from West Palm to Hartford (through Charlotte) for business next Tuesday and Wednesday, it's $234.

If I book the exact same route, except leave off the flight from Charlotte back to West Palm, it's $545!

If I then add a leg from Charlotte to Columbia, it drops to $304.

Book round trip, don't check bags, get off in Charlotte, pay for Billfred's gas and dinner to come get me in Charlotte, come back on the bus with the team ........priceless.

Re: 2006 Palmetto Regional

Team 34 (The Rockets) will be at Palmetto.

Our team did well last week at Peachtree. We made it to the QF.

This week we go long distance to hang out with the left coast teams at Sacramento.

Then we travel to Palmetto with two weeks of game experience and hopefully a bug free machine.

See 'ya soon.

Palmetto will be tough, but we plan to make it to the top this year.

Funny, we're hoping to do the same thing. (Good thing there's room for three or four at the top!)

The word around Swearingen is that WIS-TV will be doing their morning show from the Colonial Center as well. This year, they've also tapped some of the robots to show off a bit on the air. (Robots on live TV. Duck and cover! )

As a teammate of mine would say, par-tay.

Great to see you in Atlanta....enjoyed watching you bot....like always 34 stands out. Talk about road trips...you guys should win an award for the most consecutive regionals with the greatest distance traveled....an I was complaining about having to drive to Hilton Head, SC for meetings this week. Good luck in CA....I'll be checking the standings and awards...see you in Palmetto. Frank

Looks like teams 34 (Sacramento) and 68 (Waterloo) are the only teams from Palmetto competing this weekend so the stats won't change much. Those 2 teams and 1319 are the only teams to attend 2 regionals prior to Palmetto.

I don't know about any of you, but I'm so excited for Palmetto!

Our team is getting on a bus at 5 am Wednesday to get down there!

Can't wait to meet you all, see your robots in action, and compete!

Good Luck to all!

Since we are All the way from Michigan, we should leave at Midnight Tues. But someone didn't think about our teams opinions and now we're leaving at 6:00 A.M. Wed. to "SOMEHOW" arive there at 6:00 P.M. but it will more likely be like 10:00 P.M. so if anyone sees a tired team, it'll probably be us!

I'm thinking we'll be better off than you... but not by that much, since we're estimating like an 8 o'clock arrival which isn't too bad except you're on a bus that long...

When in doubt, I'll stop by your pit and attempt to wake you up.
