I had a chance to visit Rockport publishers who is putting out the book while up in Gloucester MA this October. They were closed the day I was there, but it gave me a perfect photo opportunity. w00t!

Ah Man, I can't wait to get the actual book. I wonder which teams were chosen.

I was able to get a better resolution version of the cover. I dropped a version in the gallery and have the higher resolution version here. I expect to get an example chapter soon. Enjoy - Vince

Why did the book price go up? was it becuase of the alarming number of Wish-List hits towards this book?

I am disappointed.

FYI: The list price never changed, the pre-release special that Amazon.com was running has expired.

Our team leader just received notification that we are in the book. Who else made it?

I received notice that Team 1114 would be in the book.

Wildstang is in, but we already knew that since we identified one of the tiny photos on the cover as our own

StephLee · #11 14-03-2007, 18:08

Team 1629's in it as well!

ALIBI · #12 14-03-2007, 19:00

The WOBOT, Team 141 Is In The Book. Way to go Team! Congratulations to all the other teams!

Danny Diaz · #13 14-03-2007, 19:42

Yeah, 418 made it too, but then again our team number is on the cover.

Team 191 X-Cats is in too.... Sweet. Now I just have to figure whether or not I should cancel my current Amazon order and get the discounted version or if it is a wash.
