But not us ;_;

Anyhow, this looks like the division I'm envying a little, because a lot of cool teams (93, 2826, 1986) from the 10,000 Lakes Regional that I was hoping would be in the same divison as us are in here. Good luck to you three!

Team 2415 the WiredCats is super-excited!

Team 48 will be in Archimedes for the first time since Disney, I think, and will give it our best. Good luck to all.

It seams that there are a lot of good teams that are going to be here in Medes. I think that this will be the most competitive division out there.

And how many teams are from each state/country? I just want to see the spread?

We'll be representing the state to the East (SC). Only a couple hours away! Looks like 4 teams from the host state, and 7 from the South (FL). Good luck to all. Just think, next week at this time we'll be getting ready to uncrate the creations.

It's interesting about the spread of a state's teams. We are seeing many states with 40%+ of their teams in Archi.

[EricLeifermann]

Hey Alex 6/9 = 66% not 33%, simple mistake no big deal. That is some cool information. Now we need to see how each team team ranked in their state. Its easy for the MI teams its at www.firstinmichigan.org. Who wants to do the work to see how everyone else ranks?

[cziggy343]

personally, i am very excited about going to atlanta again (as the driver this time ) i hope that we get to meet many new teams this year!

and next week just cant come fast enough

[dodar]

I know the feeling you got, i joined in o7 and since then i wanted to be on the drive team
now being on the biggest stage for robotics, I FINALLY get to travel down the mysterious path for robots because they seemed to travel like a mile in 2 minutes between the pits and the fields lol

yeah... it is a terribly long walk... first year as driver, but last year i was robocoach but it is a really fun experience, and i hope that you thouroughly enjoy it. because in my opinion, the clumination of the season ending at the georgia dome is a great experience no matter how many times that i have been!

[dodar]

I have been twice and both times I was in awe, first i was a scouter my freshman year, sitting next to teams that were from 1992 and ones that had won regionals and championships divisions and the championship and we almost won our division in ATL and last year i was a major pit crew mechanic and it was AMAZING being in the pits and walking around "scouting" in the pits and seeing all these ungodly robots up close in person, this year is even better cause i can walk right up to them and talk to their drivers and watch them up close in person( and score in them)
