2010 Pittsburgh Regional

[ayeckley]

2252 is "cautiously optimistic", mostly because we've not experienced the new two day format yet. Pittsburgh was already the most intense regional we attend, due to the short intervals between matches. Now we're expecting it to be an "11" on a dial that only goes to "10".

Has everyone read the rules? Everyone understand Cooperatition Points? Everyone done stairstepper exercises to prep for trips to the machine shop? ..........Bueller?.......Bueller?

The Firebirds (433) are very excited to be coming to Pittsburgh for the first time!

Also, we have partnered with team 117 to host the Fire-Dragon FIESTA! All teams are invited.

Team 1114 is pumped to be returning to the Pittsburgh Regional. The Pittsburgh regional was actually the site of our team's first ever regional back in 2003. We played there in 2004 as well, but have not had a chance to return until now. It should be an interesting and fun weekend, especially with this new compressed schedule. We can't wait to see everyone on Thursday afternoon.

Team 3193, Falco Tech, is really pumped up about their first ever regional competition! From experience, it's always great to see the faces of students at their first FIRST event. Also, it will be exciting for me as I enter the coaching realm for the first time--can't wait!

1038 is excited to be returning to Pittsburgh. The last time we were there 48 flipped over our robot and landed on there back. Since they aren't there this time around, I wonder if Mike will have the same luck.

Actually they flipped over the tube in front of your robot, and there is YouTube video to prove it. I'm surprised you didn't attach the link.

48 also made the finals (with 1038) and won the Buckeye Regional following that (against them). Our fates were intertwined that year.

The 48 logo will be somewhere on the 3193 robot so perhaps some good karma will still exist for their robot to do somersaults when you are in their general vicinity.

Pittsburgh also hearkens my memories back to 2004 and the last time another team visited that venue.

Ask and you shall receive, Travis... As requested, here is the link of 48 doing acrobatics in 2007 at Pittsburgh...

I gotta agree our fates were intertwined, it was a good year regardless...

Ahh Memories!

I still remember Pitt back in '03 (freshmen year) and I am still glad to be part of it this year and almost every year since.

See everyone on the field while I control field traffic and make sure everyone gets their game balls.

I remember that 2007 alliance with 48 and 1038 as well. Knocked us out in the quarterfinals. We had an epic pushing match with 48, while watching 1038 hang, and hang, and hang again.

[M. Mellott]

Well, here's hoping that 3193 can make it through WITHOUT flipping, thank you all very much!!

Thanks do go out to our new NEOFRA partners, teams 379 and 48, for all of their help this season.

It will still be great to see so many friendly faces, though. Good luck to all!!

Sadly that score is not correct. The actual score was 20 points (missing 2 point hang), plus a few balls they scored for there opponents.

1114 kicks bot.
