Lansing District 2009

[Wayne TenBrink]

Team 1918 (a Traverse City finalist, by the way) is pumped up and ready to go. OTIS has been working out and is ready to pump out the moon rocks faster than ever.

As for the 3-event teams and what happens to their points - they are allowed to go as far as their talents take them. Any points they get at their third event just won't count toward their total qualifying points for State.

I believe that all 3rd-event teams (whether strong or struggling) owe it to their alliance mates to always do their best - not ease back to save their machines for State, or intentionally lose a match in an attempt to help a favored opponent qualify for State. Next weekend's WMR will be our third event, and we pledge to play hard.

See you all in Lansing!!

Thanks once again. We've included this information in several of our team newsletters for parents to watch and I will also be including a link on our website.

sweet corey, tell you team i say thanks, my parents wanted to see the competition but wont be able to come due to my great grandmas feuneral.

But representing the two Robodawg teams, I can say we are very excited to go to Lancing, and cant wait to see you all there! [If you want to see me, I am the girl carrying around the stuffed dog]

despite about a thousand set-backs and everything else that could go wrong that did, including a complete re-design, with the help of some other teams, we have made it to lansing with a almost done robot. final things have been set to go and we should be running and competitively scoring. 1188 has pulled themselfs back up, and are ready to begin the long (slow) journey back into First. Thanks to all that have contributed and we hope to see you out there!

Looks like Dean Kamen and others are going to be in Michigan this weekend. Lansing Friday- Detroit Saturday. I believe this was in a email from FiM.

Seating is limited. Be sure to apply deoderant and brush your teeth. You are going to get to know your bleacher mates better than you ever wanted.

Last evening they had all the teams do at least one practice round on the field to make sure all their communications worked. Great idea! Should keep things moving smoothly today.

See you there.
