2009 Palmetto Regional

VISITOR INTERNET ACCESS:

I just talked to the IT helpdesk at Clemson.

Here is the procedure.

Search for wireless networks. You will see a "Clemson Guest" network.

Connect to it and browse. You will get a screen that ask for you to create a username and then you enter an email address or a cell phone number.

Click 'submit'

The "Clemson Guest" system will send you a confirmation email or text message with password.

Then enter your username and password and you are on the net.

There is no charge.

Good Luck.

Yes, we can call it the North Ridge Alliance!!
1771, 1261, and 1746!

Isn't that what you were trying to do at Peachtree also? I think it would be unbeatable alliance, although you will have to make sure one of you guys stays well out of the top 8.

Yeah we weren't really trying to do this since it would be very unlikely. I am going to go ahead and say that there is no way that all three of us can be on the same alliance. It would be cool but so unlikely. It would be as crazy as Burning Flash of Metal.

team 1379.. GearDevils will be there!!!
its our first time at Palmetto

Last year we were asked to stay late Thursday night for the local news. We ran around in the background. They wanted the upstate SC teams. I'm not saying the news will be there again, but it would be neat to have some unofficial 3-V-3 practice rounds. Then we could see some of those "over the top" alliances, and border battles.
Another option would be to Q-up on practice day together. I think the first 4 practice rounds at Peachtree were no-shows. I'm not sure if 343 can make an early one, but we can try (more mods, better bot). Something to think about.

That's a great idea - count us in! Otto's wounds have healed and he is smiling and ready to go! Let's do it!

I can dream right? :S

A few hours before I heard the news, I left my cell at home so I had to borrow a friend's who didn't have my house number in his address book. I wasn't used to his keypad and typed in XXX-1771-XXX. When the call didn't go through, I looked down and felt a little sad, remembering that y'all wouldn't be joining us in Palmetto. I hopped on Gmail when I got home, checked someone's status, and rejoiced when I saw that you guys were coming! Heh heh.

I think I asked more than enough questions at 1746's practice field about your robot...; seeing it in action was awesome.

Cheers to another fun-filled weekend at Palmetto.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is probably the most number of users 1261 has had on chief delphi...ever.

I'm so proud.

Oh well. I'm actually quite scared because of the NC/SC teams that have yet to hold their first reigonal. I'm sure we can expect a bunch of good designs out of that.

North Ridge Alliance. WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?????????

[PlatyPi Gunner]

We'd love to be in Palmetto, but we can't afford it and we're just getting our funds for nationals. It'd be great to see some new faces and some old ones, and don't be calling domination on the regional this early, remember the last time...

I'd say so! Between the responses I got by e-mail and what was posted here, the whole Internet will have to go down for this to not work.

Brings a whole new meaning to GP. Thanks guys, I really, really appreciate it.

I really hope we get this border war match scheduled. It would be awesome to play it just for fun as I do like you guys from South Carolina as well.

I'm so excited to hopefully get to play with 343 again. You guys were an awesome alliance partner and hopefully if we can team up again we might set a new high score.

[Kakashi1261]

YES! North Ridge Alliance is sticking! 100 points for daniel.
