2007 St. Louis Regional

Registration for the 2007 St. Louis Regional is approaching 60% of capacity (25/42), with seven eight states represented as of this evening. Breakdown is as follows: 10 teams from the immediate St. Louis area, 6 from the Kansas City area, 4 from Indiana, 2 from Iowa, and one each from Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Mississippi. So far there are six rookie teams registered.

Based on strong past performance, I'll go out on a limb and predict at least one Indiana team in the 2007 winning alliance.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

You can count on another from Indiana signing up, as a second regional. The TechnoKats attended back in 2003 and it's time to go again.

Andy, I'll make it a priority to see that you get to the Arch. As an engineer you might actually prefer the movie on how it was constructed, shown several times a day in one of two theatres located in the museum under the base, to the somewhat claustrophobic elevator ride that gets you to the top. The views from up there are nice, though.

Re: 2007 St. Louis Regional

It sways - the best part is put your back up against it at the base and then look up. That is fun.

Re: 2007 St. Louis Regional

The Rat Pack is looking at a trip to St. Louis this year. We want to do a Week 1 event, and we've heard nothing but good things about this regional. So, hopefully we'll add Michigan to your list of states...

Egad! Thunderchickens!

Last year the Bomb Squad and the Beast, this year the T-Kats and Thunderchickens!

Re: 2007 St. Louis Regional

Unfortunately the Robot Rams will not be attending the competition this year. All of our mentors left to teach at other schools and we have not found anyone who will be a mentor and get the team going this year. Hopefully we will be back next year.

Amanda,

Hopefully we can work something out with Spartan Robotics (2014) so you can continue in FIRST. We could use your experience, and "What?!?" says Hi.

Re: 2007 St. Louis Regional

Just saw the note that FIRST will no longer be involved with the hotel recommendations. River City Robots (the Channel Cats FRC team 1094) is based in St. Charles County and would be happy to give you ideas of where to stay. The other St. Charles County teams are team 1288 and team 1706. Going out a limb, I would say they would be happy to assist as well.

What's this? A robotics POKE WAR? Sounds like a good reason to pool $500 for a hotel in St. Louis, other than watching the Cardinals and Mets plodding around like they're the evil Yanks.

Nobody is as evil as the Yanks. Let's suspend discussion of the Cards and Mets for the next four hours or so. (I'll be offline, glued to my TV, until Game 5 is over. StL is a baseball town...)

But if you're serious about coming to STL March 1-3, let me know and we'll get you signed up as a volunteer. Go for field reset, and you'll get to see the action up close.
