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!

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.

Team 2028 will be there in full force

[msmalik428]

First off, the volunteers, referees, and FIRST officials did a great job this year, especially dealing with all the field issues. They were there to help us every step of the way, including getting our robot inspected during the opening ceremonies ><. Although things did not go as we hoped this year (our bot faltered due to various minor issues), the entire Regional served as a huge learning experience for us.

I would like to congratulate teams 1676, 1418, and 1086 for the huge win! All of you guys deserve it! It seemed to be the perfect alliance, each robot complemented one another.

Also, teams 1895, 617, and 346 also did an amazing job! Going from the 7th seed all the way to Regional finalists is no easy task!

Team 122!! You guys are amazing. You were there whenever we needed anything and serve as the epitome of gracious professionalism and coopertition. Y'all deserved it!

Mr. Clarke from 1086: Congrats again on the WFFA!! After seeing your various interactions with our team and others, you no doubt deserved the award.

Special shout out to:

Team 3168. You guys kept our spirits up throughout competition, helped us whenever we needed it. Congratulations again on the Rookie All Star!! I can't wait to see all of you guys at worlds!! Love you Mama Tree!!!

Teams 75, 2108, 1137, 617: Thanks for all of your help with our Robot during the Regional. Whether it was our programming, mechanical issues, or tools that we needed, all of you guys were there to help us out! Thanks.

I'm sure I left out a bunch of teams that helped us, so thanks everyone!!! You really made this Regionals great!! We could not have got our bot up and running for Worlds without you!

See you soon!
