So Akash, will McGowan be at the regional this year? The only thing better than meeting new teams and new team members will be reuniting with the ones I know.

Good luck to everyone on those fateful three days!

Uhh.. I emailed him a while back and he said he'd be there. But I'm not entirely sure on it. Stop by the pit when you can and I'll take you to him if I find him. =)

Btw in that case we'll be rooting for 2180 too!

Yes. Special arrangements.

Alright, thank you! I love McGowan and everything, but I've found that you can't always trust what he says and what he does to be the same thing xD It's gotta be sad with him retired and all ;_;

Unrelatedly, when I told the mentors at 2180 that I was from 11, they were like, "ELEVEN?? The numbers go that low?"

Hahahaha, so true. I'm holding him to this though.

Curious to see how 2180 does. They had an awesome rookie season IIRC.

I'd love to see them do well, but since I haven't even seen their robot, I can't say I have much of a personal stake. I was involved in their animation, and although I think we did really well, if your animation beats ours then I'll be sad xD Hopefully their rookie animation team will do as well as their rookie robot team.

Will there be a lot of rookie teams at Trenton this year? As far as I could ever figure out, this regional seems to have a lot more experienced powerhouse teams than some others, and it's probably really tough to try to compete as a rookie.

Bah! So much for a wireless Twitter match score display in the pits.
Meh.

Elgin, are you even going to Jersey? Did you make up your mind yet?

[Mike8519]

I think there is only one rookie team at NJ. Team Overdrive - 2753. Given their FTC past and the design of their robot they barely classify as a rookie team

Which leads to an interesting question... will Overdrive travel Atlanta given they win the Rookie All-Star by default

No. It's still a toss-up between BAE Regional in NH & the NJ Regional.
I'll know when I wake up Saturday morning.. or start driving on a whim either North or South on Friday evening after work.
That's just how I roll.
Heck, maybe I'll even just drive to DC since I was already an official part of that regional by doing some pre-event judging this past weekend.

Hahah good point! I doubt they'll be penalized just because they're the only ones... after all, it sounds to me like the deserve it. I wonder how they'll do.

Haha, that's pretty sweet.

If we're in for the same Team Overdrive from my Vex Days, I know you'll earn those awards....

1 Day Left!
