Thanks Jane, I'm not sure how many Rookie Teams take the Judges award but our team is very proud of our two awards. But I think there are many teams worth mentioning who did not obtain awards.

Starting with the Rookies

FRC 2583 - Westwood Elite had a fantastic robot and good outreach effort showing off their robot to schools during the build season.

FRC 2585 - Bellaire High School came with very little mentor/money support and had a great working robot.

Veterans
FRC 647 - Great professionalism in helping other teams with parts and code. This team has to deal with many war-time family issues and has shown many strengths of their team.

FRC 704 - Fantastic looking robot , glad to see you guys back at LSR

FRC 1772 - Brazilian teams have a tough trip to the USA but they always show at LSR how a team can fight on through all odds.

FRC 1480 - Good looking robot and great professionalism throughout the competition.

FRC 441 - Great job in hosting the Practice meet and working with other teams for parts and code.

FRC 1484 - Hogg Middle school never fails to amaze me when I remember that they are much younger than everyone else on the field.

I did not personally check the webcast because of the competition, but was anyone able to view the regional. I tried emailing as many people as could about who is in charge of broadcasting. Once I found a link to the feed I would have posted it immediately on txfirst.org. I'm sorry to say I have not seen a link.

I'm really disappointed at this because our team could have easily setup a feed for the regional but the NASA webcast site made the appearance that a feed was already setup.

did anyone actually take a picture of the stadium inside? or maybe the pits?

I got a call from a friend as soon as we got an award congratulating our team, so he was obviously able to see the webcast. I think Kevin from 57 was in charge of organizing it for Lone Star

This year I was in fact in charge of recording the video feed for archiving for the regional committee, uploading to SOAP, and making DVDs for teams. Mike Heidt has been in charge of the actual webcast since LSR was first 'cast. I've occasionally provided equipment, technical support, and interfacing between he and the RD, but the majority of the credit for the webcast has always been Mike's.

Oh, I didn't know you were making DVDs too.....is there any way our team could get a copy? We would really appreciate it!

I have some pictures of the pits and the field. If you email me, I will be glad to send them to you.

Hey,

I just wanted to thank and congradulate a few teams

Congrats to 2276 on ranking so high this year

congrats to 1108 on an amazing robot (still can't figure out how it works)

Thanks to the dapper dans for picking us this year

Thanks to the LSR commitee for a great regional this year and making my last LSR a great one.

Sorry to anyone who tried to make our scouting section smile and got a red hot glare instead. most of the scouting team were so focused on scouting that they gave many people a look that screamed "busy". We managed to turn it around on saturday (the day we were not scouting) and make the evil glare dissapear.

Thanks to LASA for being the best cheering section we could ask for

Thanks to 118 for lending their extension cord on thursday

I hope I have not forgotten anyone

Before I hit submit, did anyone see any of the physics students in the pits. they would have been carrying around packets and asking people questions.

Thanks,

Neal Jamieson

Media Captain for team 624

Pavan,

All I get is the video from Qual match 54. Is there something else that I am missing?

"Driver Cam" I presume? That's actually really cool, very few people get to watch the competition from that perspective.

Team 2582 was there.
we basically tried to use our arm but we never got the chance to use it.
we took second with the alliance that chose us.
by the way....it was a shocker.
and we took the rookie inspiration award.
thanx for a great competition!!

PantherBots 2582!
