Team 69 flew in Tuesday evening (42 degrees in Boston) and have been enjoying the MUCH warmer weather today. We're looking forward to meeting teams tomorrow and enjoying a great competition. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow!

Glad you're enjoying the weather! It's already a bit too warm for my tastes, but then again I'll be sweating through it for the next 6 months.

If you need help with any electrical feel free to ask team 69 =) I can help you if you need it.

I looked in my shop, I had some thinwall 1" square steel tubing...so I made a couple trailer hitch spacers, I'll bring them and leave them in 1726s pit if anyone needs them. We'll have some C bot channel too.

Is anyone bringing spare flag holders?

Hey NERDS great job in LA by the way.. I was there Saturday to cheer you guys on! You guys have a awesome robot cant wait to compete with it this weekend.

Alot of cool looking robots at the Regional this year, not many teams out in the practice matches so hopefully we can look forward to more gameplay and scoring tomorrow. Looks like we've got Don announcing and Ian as head ref as usual, and I do believe I saw Mark Leon lurking around today...

Good luck to all the teams tomorrow, and if you need help for anything just come find us (look near the blue and orange hair! ).

I can confirm this.

Dan, Ian and Mark...
Ahh.. Good old Arizona regional!


And I'm looking forward to tomorrow as well. We got our bot assembled and its up and running, so we'll be on the field! ... Along with all the other great looking bot there!

Fun practice day, we were performing better than I think any of us expected to! It looks like a lot of teams that were behind today managed to finish up this evening and will be ready for qualifiers tomorrow.

And yeah, Mark Leon is definitely here... we had the privilege of eating dinner with him at I-HOP and learning math!



EDIT: oh yeah, the qualifying match list can be found here.

You guys always run into people randomly, I'm not surprised Steven lol. See you all on Saturday with Vicky brownies and hopefully a sweet flag once I'm done ^^

Man, Mark sure puts on a lot of miles.
We saw him during week 2 in Oregon, then week 3 in San Jose, he's there in Arizona, and then we see him during week 5 in Hawaii.
As was mentioned, its not like he just goes back to the hotel and sleep all evening. He's always out entertaining teams or vise versa.
