We have a 12:30 curfew and are all lookin to meet some new people so if anyone else is stayin in that hotel come stop by our pit and say hello mabye we can hang out after the competition. Look for me (Mike Chenault) one of the two drivers. Im lookin foward to meeting everyone around.

Welcome to Houston all you out of towners and it's good to see the rookies! Weren't the Brazilians rookies last year? Gave us all a run for our money!

[Andrew Schuetze]

Team 499, Toltechs, will be back for our sixth season.

We have a picture database of just less than half of the robots on our website.

You will find the LSR robot pictures in the '06 Innovations page with a link at the bottom of that page.

Suprisingly missing is team 57
Hard drive crash, ya that's the ticket

624 Cryptonite will be there, green spiked hair and all! We're really looking forward to it as we consider the Lone Star to be our "home-town" competition.

By the way, anyone who is interested in getting their hair spiked up for the competition just needs to stop by our pit. You can get your hair spiked, and get a pin saying "My hair was spiked by 624"

See y'all there!

57 isn't there because of the whole "Oh no the robot isn't finished we're doomed no we don't have time for pictures" thing. Heh. We've plans for quickly fixing the slew of minor problems we were having in michigan, however, so we should be putting on a much better showing.

Also, fear 624. as far as I know, they were the only team to actually get the vision tetra on the center goal in autonomous. They only missed immortality because the darned thing didn't settle enough to count. I fully expect them to be autonomously targetting opposing robots and taking them out with poof balls aimed at power switches. Or something similarly impressive.

Team 1817 will be there and will hope to have a STAMP or FSN Scouting Database on wifi (g/b) open to everyone or come by and ask for a printout.

Also come by our pits and check out our Promotional video which features a time lapse of the last 5 days of us building our robot.

Finally we are taking bunch of X-Boxes and maybe a few DLP Projectors. We will be staying at the Holiday INN Astrodome and hope to get something going with some other teams.

Now its time for me to pack up drive 8-9 hours to H-Town

Yikes! I guess we better mount our no-fault power switch cover, not to mention our static discharge proximity bomb! Well, wait, I guess we better finish the robot first...

I just came back from the AstroArena, and things are looking sweet! There's a great group of volunteers out there who have set things up to run really smoothly in the morning. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight, I just know it.

Myself and a few friends are watching via webcast from the UK. One of my friends (who isn't involved in a FIRST team) has asked me to say that 704 is the best looking robot she has seen, saying "the design is lovely and looks professional..."

There seem many good robots at Lone Star, and from what I saw first hand at NYC too, there seems to be a high standard this year. Well done everyone.

Holla! out to Kris Verdeyen for lookin like a hot shot on his first chance at robot-introducing-guy.

And congrats to Lynden Bridgewater for his Volunteer of the year award, he really does alot and deserves it.

great games everyone. the finals match was especially exciting, awesome plays. Anyone going to host the matches?

[ChuNalt787]

I had so much fun. It was amazing. I know the rest of my team 1888(the pink robot) had fun as well. We had trouble practice day and then had some problems on Friday but Saturday everything was fixed and we had two incredible matches. We were kinda bumed that we didnt get picked but its understandable. Thanks everyone for the great regional. I would like to extend my thanks to all the teams that let us borrow stuff when we needed it. 364 was very generous and allowed us to use their tether when ours went missing. Thanks alot guys we woulda been nowhere without you.
