Don't qualify, Don't go. Don't worry, we'll be there next year.

As for myself, I was set to go; even got American Airlines to donate a ticket for me.... But my English professor's policy on missing class prohibits me from going.

Definitely looking forward to the webcast and I have about 10 different people texting me twice or more an hour; so at least I'm kept up to date

Oh yeah, I definitely know what you mean. My current team didn't qualify, but my old team is there. I got a text at 2:00, 5:00, and 7:00 AM yesterday--and that was just about the bus ride TO Atlanta! And I've been getting texts and phone calls all day today about what's going on down there. I definitely like being kept in the know!

Although, it is admittedly hard to be here knowing everyone is down there. But hey! You gotta make light of the situation, ya know?

^_^ I'm so happy I found this thread! 1675 didn't qualify for the Championship this year, so I'm in Milwaukee and IN SCHOOL during Atlanta . Today I skipped my lunch to watch practice matches, and tomorrow we were able to plan a out of school demo for tomorrow meaning we may get to watch some competition. Saturday there's going to be a "Robo Party" where we set up the computer and projector to watch the matches. The only problem is I have to wait till 10 before I'm able to get updates on what happened today!

Hugs to everyone out there! and good luck to all teams!! ^_^ *yup I'm wearing a tube skirt to school tomorrow... that's going to be interesting!*

Indeed.... I was also awoken at 5 this morning asking who to ask for more bearings for the AM Gen3 shifters.... this was after going to bed at 3....

For me this is the start of paving season... and seeing how I'm the head QA of a fifty million dollar highway project I can't just take off... but I know a few QC's that wish I would. Basically I'm the guy that makes sure the roadway meets state standards Not bad for a high school drop-out

Anyhow after going to my first regional just a couple weeks ago I so want to be down in Big A its almost killing me. Well at least I can sit in my office and have the webcast on the computer... and lord help anyone that messes up the asphalt tomorrow.
