[JakeC]

Hey, were going to the Waterloo Regional, the team went for the past two years also, but our team name and number was different.

1565 will be here, This will be our second time.. Seeing as we didnt do first last year.. (teacher problems grrr ) but were back full swing.. and no worries about weather it has rarely dropped below minus 10 celcieus all winter. So apirl should be fine! That is when it is right?

Yes it is held right on the campus in the PAC (Physical Activities Complex). Look for "PAC" on this map (upper left corner of the main campus): http://www.uwaterloo.ca/map/map.php

The past couple years my team has stayed at the Holiday Inn Kitchener and it has worked out well!

Click for directions to the campus from that hotel.

Team 2200 will be there, the whole 13 of us.

Rookie Year, we will see how everything stacks up. I cant wait..... now, back to working on the robot. We are slowly falling behind.

well Waterloo regional is this weekend. 1281 won't be there, but i'll probably go up on Saturday and do some scouting, for GTR next weekend.

[Bongle]

I'm so jazzed for this. Going to be doing concessions on thursday for the Waterloo swim team, then will probably hang out with the local team 1565. Since 1281 broke my heart and isn't coming, I'll just cheer for someone else.

I will be the game announcer. With Karthik as the MC and me as the announcer, I expect some crazy antics.

I am just glad we have the bandsaws and drill presses back in the pits to try to cover some of those "crazy antics" from the field.

We may be able to work out something where Karthik can ride out on the go-cart Truck bed to the field during opening ceremonies as Blair has in the past, but sorry Paul, you will have to ride on the trailer.

I thought we weren't allowed drill presses and bandsaws as per the update that states that we can't have non-FIRST machine shops

I'm excited for Waterloo this weekend! I'm sure Karthik will have a field day with the color scheme on our robot...
