Going to be making some upgrades to make our robot a little more competitive, and hopefully elimination worthy. Gunning for another safety award, but it looks like 250 could give us a run for our money.

Hmmm.... Safety Award, eh? 816's won the Safety Award in '05 and '07 in Philly, and we also won the Safety Award in NJ this year too. Needless to say we're going to give you a bit of a challenge for the award. (or should I say you're going to give us a bit of a challenge?)

Stogi, Philly is one of those Regionals that has always had quite a few High Caliber teams year after year. It's just it never really got noticed by a lot of people as one of the "Stacked" regionals like Midwest. Regardless, I haven't even looked at the team list yet. I've decided that the only thing that determines how well a team will do is performance, not lineage or hype. If you want to Debate that, remember 2 out of 3 World Champions were eliminated in their First Regional. That being said, I heard some Rumors of a "MORT Anomaly".....
