Pavan.

We're looking forward to it. We considered last year a rematch of the year before, though perhaps this year we'll work together.
Can't wait to see you guys there.

It is great that you guys will be coming to Lone Star! Although we are a big competition everyone there is really friendly and we all love to help each other so feel free to PM me if you need any help and even if you need anything during the competition feel free to stop by Team 118's pit and we will be glad to your help your team with anything you need.

Houston was our very first event as rookies----we love going to Houston. Just don't ask us about the trailer blow-outs, the dead hawk, or about passing cookies from one vehicle to the other-on the interstate. It is a long 10 hour drive for us. We are looking forward to coming back down. After all the ice we have had---we are looking forward to warmer temps.

Our team likes to go to Kemah on Saturday night after the awards ceremony---then we head home Sunday morning. visit kemahboardwalk.com for all the attractions.

Can't wait to see all of you---it will be a very competitive and fun event.

Good luck!

I sent out the following request via email to several teams attending the regional already. I don't have contact information for several teams so I am posting the request here in the hopes that some of those teams are C.D. readers. If possible send me an email or pm. Thanks,



Greetings from San Antonio.

I have arranged for at least 30 upper elementary students from three schools in our district to take a Friday field trip to the Lone Star Regional. We intend to take groups of 5 - 6 through the pit to see the robots up close and ask questions. If possible, can you send me a short bio about your team and a person who we should ask for when we make the rounds in pit row. We will start the escorted pit row tours after lunch.


Thanks,

Team 118 will be more than willing to help out with talking to the kids. I can not give you a name right off the back for who might be in the pit, but I can assure you that someone will be at the pit at all times.

Andrew,
You should also check out the EARLY program while at the Regional. It is geared specifically for Elementary students to get them involved in engineering. We will have some information available and EARLY teams can be created in your area very easily.

Thanks Chris,
Will you have a demonstration board set up for EARLY? All of the elementaries that I am bringing to the competition have an EARLY team and one also has three squads entered in GEAR. (GEAR is associated with BEST and is an FLL type event) Edgewood ISD also is now in their second year of having middle school students compete in Botball. Team 499 has their first class of freshman with Botball experience which helped a great deal as two freshmen worked on the programming team and fit right in the mix. We are graduating twin sisters from the programming team this year which were going to be hard to replace.

Team 118 will most likely have a demonstration field set up.
