Re: Pittsburgh Regional

1743 will be making our fourth consecutive appearance at Pittsburgh, and we're more excited than ever. I am Looking Forward to seeing lots of old friends, not the least of which being the fabulous Wayne Penn. Many thanks to 48 and 291 for providing the webcast so my family will be able to watch the event all the way from California.

Re: Pittsburgh Regional

EHOVE Mavericks 2252 will be there for our second year. We're going into Pittsburgh with no technical issues, which is kind of a nice change for us. It's a fast-paced event, and this year we're ready!

Dave, I think you've got all of our contact info - if not let me know.

Not to hijack the thread, but do the WPA keys differ for each regional, or do teams "own" the same key for the whole season? We've got our key loaded from the Buckeye Regional; I'm just wondering if we need to plan on loading a different one on Thursday morning. Thanks!

New keys are generated at each regional. You'll have to load a new one in Pittsburgh and have your software inspected, but since you've got the updates installed it shouldn't take much time.

Good luck Joey and 1743, as well as 48 and all of 1038's friends. Make sure and give Wayne a hello from us.

Re: Pittsburgh Regional

222 can't wait for Pittsburgh! We've been hooked on Pittsburgh since our first visit there in 2007. The teams there are all great, the venue is very nice and we get to have Wayne Penn as an MC. We'll be leaving our school tomorrow morning so we can get an afternoon of tourist activities in before diving head first into Lunacy. Safe travels to all teams!

Do those tourist activities include a stop at Primanti's? Visitors always love those sandwiches, for whatever reason.

To be honest I don't know exactly what tourist things we are doing ,but I've always wanted to try one of their sandwiches.

1249 and 337 will load the trailer after school today and leave after school tomorrow for the 5 hour trip. Can't wait to see old friends and meet new ones. Stop by our pits and talk robots. If anyone needs any help or parts, let us know. See everyone Thursday morning

Re: Pittsburgh Regional

Cool.. I thought this thread died in cyber space.

I'll be glad to see all you guys there. Oh.. And please do some sight seeing. We got so much to see, do and eat... Ok.. that was weird. But you got the idea...lol

Thanks Pete for that helpful tip about the WPA.

Good Luck to everyone and safe travels.

Re: Pittsburgh Regional

Looks like there will be yet another Lunacy champion coming to Philly this year in 222! What a field that's going to be...

And as for 1218, I'm so proud of you! From using hockey sticks to windshield scrapers, you guys have some of the best and most outside the box ideas every season. You definitely deserved to step back into the winner's circle!

Re: Pittsburgh Regional

On behalf of team 1743, I'd like to thank 222 and 1218 for being absolutely amazing partners. We had a fantastic run, and we're looking forward to seeing you all in Atlanta.

Congratulations to 3062 for winning Rookie All-Star. You'll do a great job representing Pittsburgh at the championship.

More importantly, the mentors from 1218 were more than willing to spend a great deal of time helping teams with Labview and were instrumental in getting one of the rookie teams to mechanically pass inspection. I had to call on Peter their programming mentor a few times to assist teams with LabView issues I couldn't resolve.

Major kudos to you on not only an excellent, solid robot, but for being a great example of GP in a regional that definitely needed a helping hand getting robots moving on the field!
