If I remember right that was part of the rumor, but I've slept since then, so I forgot....

M'aiken Magic will heading to the backyard comp LAWL, hopefully this year we can really compete we aren't focising on the Inspiration award as we have in the past so it'll be intresting.

Would that be a shot in the Robot Arm?

Pity. 1618 was one highly determined team, and last year (from what I saw at Palmetto) they were actually getting their act together everywhere it counted. Just a few more years....

1676 can't travel the distance to SC this year, but Palmetto is the only regional (aside from NJ) we've gone to twice, and we've been awfully well-treated both times. We'll be back someday.

Are you implying that in the past you haven't been "really" competing?

no, we did alot of extra-curricular community events to add for the Inspiration award. this year we won't be doing much of that at all. I joined the Tech team last year and we took it to nationals while our FRC team didn't make it. Really what i'm saying is our main focus this year is going to be the robot.

After a bit of a scare with the district, D5 did secure funding for Palmetto.

Heres to another fantastic regional.

That's nice to hear.

Yeah, i'm just wonderng at this point the game entails.

Looks like Palmetto filled up thanks in part to 5 teams from Newark NJ.

I wonder if Don on 1676 had anything to do with that? Maybe he talked about what a great time we have here in Clemson.

Is anybody on a waiting list for Palmetto? I see other regionals have lists.

hmmm, 5 NJ teams. Well instead of the GA vs SC we could have North vs South. It likely won't happen because of the way things got shot down last year, but is still a cool idea

Last year,

The GA vs. SC carried a bit of hostility, or at least others thought it did. I think that if we portrayed our little South vs. North competition more as a friendly square-off, there wouldn't be so much controversy surround it.

GA v.s SC compete with each other for EVERYTHING, the North vs South thing sounds funny though. Think about it Final match...two teams from the North and two from the South... EPIC BATTLE

There are always practice rounds where you just show up in Queuing with your "friends"....
