2010 FLORIDA REGIONAL

[Nawaid Ladak]

there should be exactly 90 Qualification Matches

54(Teams Attending) * 10(matches played) / 6(teams per match) = 90

EDIT: 53 teams, not 54... my bad, then there should be 89 QM's

53(Teams attending) * 10(matches played) / 6(teams per match) = 88.33333....

Who finally won Ultimate Frisbee????

There were a couple of games played with different winners each time. But more importantly, we were all winners right?

I am so excited for this regional! It's hard to believe it is just a couple of hours away! The social was a ton of fun, but it was just the start. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

does anyone have a picture of team 21

[JohnFogarty]

For all teams we were allied with during practice, we are sorry we left you guys hanging >.<

They pulled a rule out about how we mounted our bumpers and so it took all day to fix it.

Looking forward to tommorow, and if you haven't seen us look for the tank on the ballin light up cart.

Oh wow, we had a stressfull time getting inspected....

Does anyone know why the Crio is made for chassis grounding?
We spent about 5 hours looking for the short that was grounding to our frame, only to find that the Crio's case and mounting screws are very obviously exposed.....

We actually made it a goal to get that done this year.

More and more every year teams have started using Thursday as a "rebuild" day. Less teams are getting through inspection on Thursday than ever before in my seven years in FIRST. (There were only 8 teams past inspection by 2:15pm today, there are 20 teams that have yet to pass inspection). I wanted to make sure this team stood out and got this little thing done.

Im a big believer in momentum, i think success in little things (getting inspection done early) directly result in success on a bigger scale (more practice, better driver experience on the actual field, and the drivers ability to be comfortable during the matches that actually count).

Good luck to all the teams tomorrow, lets get all the robots out on the field and show that Florida is one of the best regional events FIRST has to offer.

Who all is hanging in Florida? I know we are but who else is?

[JohnFogarty]

Does anyone have a picture of the team with 4 wheel drive articulated steering? That was amazing.
