2009 Chesapeake Regional

[Dorienne]

Good luck to all teams!

I will be volunteering as a scorer this year. Come say hi to me if I'm not staring at robots on the field!

Stop by the Lunacy simulator in Halsey.

The exhibit is being put on by WPI students and Lockheed Martin.

Bring a couple of friends and try for high score. Be one of the high scoring alliances and come back to compete in a play-off.

I am so excited! I always love going to new regionals and I hear that this is one I won't want to miss. If you're a CD person, come up and introduce yourself! I will be on Field reset thursday. Friday and Saturday I will be coaching 1511. And did I hear Blair would be attending? This is a regional I'm quite excited for. Good luck to all the teams! See you on the field.

I've just arrived in Annapolis, and the rest of 1884 is on a bus somewhere between here and DC as I type! We will be doing the DC tourist thing tomorrow (well, I'll be doing the DC tour guide thing) and be ready to rock the regional on Thursday!

I've been perusing around CD as well as the FIRST website and have been unable to find any information about a possible webcast for this event. Will there be a webcast for Chesapeake, and if so, will it be available on SOAP Gameday?
Thanks for the help!


Also, my team, 2079 ALARM, is very excited to attend this event! We are making the trip down from the Boston area, and are greatly anticipating this regional. It appears as though there are a significant amount of teams that are traveling long distances to attend, and it appears as though the field is pretty strong as well.

Good luck to all!

We've, like the Robobees, have been attending the Chesapeake since it started in '03. It is an intimate venue ... much smaller than say the DC Convention Center, but lends itself well for making new friends. There's ample seating on both sides of the field, and on one end there is balcony seating.

We are a local team, Edgewater is just south of Annapolis. I live just 10 minutes away from the Naval Academy. If you need advice on where to go for parts, supplies, food or fun, just stop by our pit (Team 1111 - the Powerhawks).

And it will get loud! Chesapeake Rocks!!

Thanks to all you volunteers who are traveling in to make this happen. And I look forward to seeing the Pit Divas again. Chesapeake has the best pit table around.

Hope all the teams have a safe trip into Annapolis.

Unfortunately, in past years, there has been no webcast.

Does anyone know if this Regional is going to be on Webcast? I am at Virginia Tech for school, and want to watch my team play!

[Jessica Boucher]

Twitter feed also seems to be down for FRCFMS. They are playing practice rounds, though.

Congratulations team 1511 on you Web site and Imagery awards, I have been a fan of your website and team for many years. Some teams think that since they can they should. But when it comes to websites, that isn't always the best way to design. I love your site the way it is. I also feel thier is a national chairmans award in your near future. Way to be great ambassadors of FIRST.

Thank you very much! This is a tremendous compliment! I will pass this along to the rest of our team. I would also like to formally thank team 75. The social was simply awesome and a great idea! You guys pulled off what many regionals can't. Thanks for the great times and great fun!
