Unfortunately, I'll be missing the even for the second straight year (and my 2nd time ever). It's my favorite regional, but Philly's the same weekend. Have fun down there in RVA.

2108 will be returning to NASA/VCU (although I think it's now officially Virginia) for our forth year We will also be attending North Carolina, as its in our back yard, and hopefully Champs....

See you in Richmond.

Hi all...

After missing last year 1610 has returned. We originally were gonna go to the NC regional but moved back to Virginia. A quick look at the First regional lists will tell the tail of who's coming and who is'nt.

1676 is ready to bring some Jersey love, along with 75 and 293...

We are really looking forward to the competition, we hope to see you all there!

The best part will be meeting so many new teams.

Does anyone know if this will be webcast? Also about how far away are the pits from the field. In my experience they have only ever behind behind a curtain on the half of a stadium but I have heard of some that are quite far away

Same arena as the other ten years. None of the pits will be far away, the furthest will have to walk the length of a basketball court and a bit to reach queuing, but will then have a very short walk when they leave.

A webcast is not for sure yet, but likely.

The Technowizards, team 809 from Manchester CT, will be there! It's our first time there and we'd love to meet some new teams, so come visit our pit and cheering/scouting section in the stands

On a side note: I will be the lead scouting mentor at VA and have been working on a little internet-based scouting system that is live on the internet right now. If anyone is interested in how it works or would like to be able to use it, feel free to find me or PM me on here and I'll be glad to help

Excellent, thank you for offering it to other teams! As a side note, if I remember correctly the building has Wifi, but since it is set up by the university you need an account to use it. So a secondary means of accessing the internet may be required is something open isn't available.

I know myself and all of 975 are looking forward to the competition, 11 days and counting!

[1522_Kira]

Team 1522 will be attending once again this year!
Good Luck to all of the teams! And see you there. :3

I was expecting that. I don't currently have a solution for it, except to use a phone. I have pulled my iPhone out occasionally to check on it in the past and I know most of the kids out there have internet access on their phone these days, so I wasn't too worried about it.
