2008 Greater Toronto Regional!

Thanks, I ended up going to the station and looked at the air-check for the 5:30 and the 6pm show and they did a decent job putting it together, I also saw it on the weather network and it will be on TWN again tonight at 11:10pm.

I am always worried because you never know how they are going to put something together or what the reporter will say or write...I just shoot the video, but this time it looked decent.

There will be a lot of teams from the Niagara area, including:

-1114
-1503
-1507
-1680
-2056

Anyway, hope to see you there!

How could I forget you guys!?! We just saw you at Finger Lakes! Sorry, ... Rookie mistake!

I hadn't noticed Fort Erie (there are just so many teams), and I wouldn't have realized where Stoney Creek was, so thanks much for enlightening me. My best to all our neighbors across the border!

Well seeing that im from burlington and used to help mentor st martins i must say:

Go St. Martins and Rambotics!! It would be so cool if they were in an alliance, anyone know how they're doing?

Thank you very much

lol no surprises there me senses another win for simbotics

[dani190]

well i dont know what people think of this years game, and the judges decisions. But for our team its been nothing but bad luck this year. All our matches have been pretty good but then we have other allied teams who end up with penalty's and we loose. Lets see if any team will choose us for finals based on what we can do and not our really bad rank.

Good luck to all,

Roborams - 2185

No mistakes there but i think 1114 will lose in atlanta to team 70's alliance unless they are on the same alliance with team 70

If your robot is truly performing well and it is just bad luck, then you have decent shot of getting picked. GTR has several veteran teams who are skilled at scouting; 1114 comes to mind immediately, you don't win 8 of your last 9 regionals just off of luck and a good robot. Those who have been around for a bit know to look past ranking.
