2007 Chesapeake Regional

[Sgraff_SRHS06]

About comparing regionals: you sit around and look for webcasts come regional time and see which ones they pick. 100% always for Boilermaker and Detroit. I'm not so sure about Chesapeake.

611, 612, 614 definitely
122?
203?
224?

Many of the teams at Chesapeake in 2003 are no longer around....just to point out.

After doing some quick research this is the list I came up with for teams registered for Chesapeake from 2003 through 2007.
7, 165, 339, 341, 602, 614, 686, 768, 888, 1111, 1184, 1195

It might need some corrections. I didn't see 611 on this year's list and didn't see 612 on the 2003 list. Does that seem correct?

[Sgraff_SRHS06]

611 is pending.

[Spikey]

Team 293 will return again this year. We look forward to being at this regional, and hopefully I will get to go over my spring break

SPIKE X will be there!

Glad to see so much interest in "our" regional!

Team 836 - The RoboBees - will be headed to Trenton, NJ this year, and then will be at our home meet two weeks later! This event is the highlight of our whole year! We look forward to seeing you all there at the best FRC regional! We look forward to seeing our old friends again, and meeting new friends as well!

It ain't your home! It's Das Goat's home! And they will defend it! Everyone will be happy that you guys are making it! You always bring some of the best bots even if you don't have the best of luck. I'm not sure I'll be there though this year.

Team 204 is coming to Chesapeake Regional.

[echo404]

What resources are available at competitions. Our welds on our robot aren't very good and if we need to re-weld would we be able to do so at this competition?

and team 1370 is coming

There is a great machine shop that we use at the Naval Academy with help. I have no way to ask now about welding capability. Maybe one of the teams from last year can check in here.
