My house is open to any out of town college students that are volunteers or team mentors that need a cheap place to stay.

Good eye. We got burnt on last years wheels. So we spent extra to do it right this year.

The stands are pretty good. The INDOOR pits are good too. But if your team is in the outdoor pit, it gets really warm and by warm...I mean hot, it is Florida...

hmm good point... well speaking of gorgeous weather whos up for some ultimate frisbee or hacky sack during lunch

Team 342 will be there. We were stuck in the tents last year, with black team shirts. We have black shirts again! I almost fainted on the field, but that was proably due to only 3 hours sleep and 2 energy drinks! Thanks for the fortcast.

If you guys have been wondering where you will be this year a map of the floor lay out has been up for a while now.

Looks like they are doing the low number, high number thing again!

I cant wait for this regional to start! Only 9 hours till gates open, ill try to sleep, but i probably wont. Then again, Sleep Depravation and FIRST go hand in hand.

7:00 am and it's a beautiful day out so far team 1251 is ready to rack and roll. Can't wait to see everyone at the Florida regional, it should be a good one.

Good luck,
Drew Dizzle !

wow, i just watched 233, and I am very impressed with their robot (not like I wasn't before). They are putting up 6-8 tubes around teh whole rack (top, middle, bottom rows).


Also, the team with the spine arm....that thing looks AWESOME, I cant wait to see it actually function.

I'm impressed that you're able to see anything. This is the tiniest webcast I've ever run across and I can't make out anything of note.
