2008 St. Louis Regional

[IndySam]

So far this seems to be the least loved of the first week regionals.

Only 13 teams registered with us (829) being the lowest numbered team.


What teams have plans to make this their second (in this case first) regional?

[Joe Reel]

If slots remain available, Team #292 - PantherTech plans on attending the St. Louis Regional this year.

[Richard Wallace]

We would welcome a second Indiana invasion. It seemed to work out well last year.

[AndyB]

It is one of the regionals our team is thinking about for our second. We are also thinking about GLR and Minnesota.

If it is in the stars for the CyberCards to go out-of-state in 2008, SLR is certainly on our short list.

The TechnoKats had a lively debate about where to go this season. St Louis was a popular option, but in the end we put a slightly higher priority on going to a new (for us) regional than on playing with old friends again.

Were debating between st. louis and the GLR but St. Louis is winning

[Lisa Perez]

We'll be registering for St. Louis again, this year.

[Richard Wallace]

I see that 1444, 148, and 839 have all registered for St. Louis, creating the possibility of a title defense by the 2007 winning alliance. Of course, 931 will do all that we graciously can do to keep that from happening. [edit]I garbled that thought: the idea started as a rematch of last year's final. However, recalling Alan's earlier post, a rematch won't be happening. Sorry about my confused rambling...[/edit]

Whatever the outcome, we look forward to seeing old friends again, and to making some new ones.

I got word today that we've remedied that situation: Team 85, Built On Brains, is coming down from Zeeland, MI to play with you guys.

Our neighbors to the east and my original team, the RoboDAWGS from Grandville (288), will also be coming down to represent West Michigan. I believe Holland Christian (107) is also considering making the trip.

I'm looking forward to a fun time, but not the long drive.

Platteville Team 171 should be attending from Wisconsin. It's looking as if 269 may only do one regional this year due to the fact that the team is so young this year. But if we do do a second, it will be St Louis.

Cool Michigan invasion.

Looks like an Alabama invasion, too. 442 and 538 are coming back for the first time since 2003. Two award winning teams from down near Huntsville.

Last time they were here, 442 took the Judges Award and 538 the Regional Chairman's Award -- and both teams have been making noise at other regionals since then.

So we can look forward to strong visiting competitors from both North and South.

The Minnesota Regional filled up fast, so it looks like you might be seeing 45 at the St.Louis Regional after all. Not a for sure thing yet, but that's what its looking like.
