We leave for Colorado in 1 week! I cant wait!!!

I know we are meeting with a couple of teams in Denver on Tuesday and Wednesday, but if anyone is not busy in Denver we are going paintballing at American Paintball Coliseum at their outdoor field on Tuesday from like 2:00- when ever they close, and Wednesday we are going skiing at Copper Mountain idk what time prolly most of the day. We would love for you to join us. If not we'll see you all in a week. Good Luck!

If you're coming to this week's Colorado Regional how about giving the rest of us a scouting report to 'prime our pumps' so to speak. Team 1583 will go first. Our robot has a custom 6-wheel drive chassis that is geared 5 fps. Our strategy is to score 16 points in hybird by taking down a ball and crossing two lines. We can take the ball down on the move. Our bot is designed as a herder with a front end specially designed to facilitate pining the opposition's trackball against the wall. The competition's best hurdler can't score many points without the ball. We will drive laps (~5 ) if no hurdler to defend against. At the end of the match we are also ready to take down any oppossition balls left on the overpass. Come by Thursday and let's talk. Just look for the mentor with the orange mohawk. We're looking forward to meeting everybody and having a great time playing with all of you.

Team 1158 will have a guest log in the pits, so please stop by have a chat and sign the log.

Team 1986 is leaving Wednesday morning at 9am. Make sure you guys come by our pit and check out our companion cube crate. I guess you could check out our robot too if you feel like it.

Day one is over. I hope everyone's robots are fully functioning for tomorrow's games! Good luck everyone.

I'm really glad they got the scoring corrected from the practice matches to the qualification matches. But now I feel it is a lot more fun, Thursday seemed really boring and it almsot shaped up to be a horrible regional

So what\'s the scoop going into tomorrow? Which Colorado teams are standing out? I miss being at the event and seeing the different teams we used to work with. Another thing that makes me miss Colorado while out here in little tiny New York.

How are 159, 662 and all the other Colorado teams looking?

Happy Birthday Aren! What a way to celebrate! Enjoy.

we are rolling tape from all three days captured from the source field system we wanted to stream live but the problems were to much to resolve this year so we are just streaming the taped footage at http://www.justin.tv/vescodenver
