If previous years were any indicator, nope. :/

Team 968 is happy to be returning to the Los Angeles regional, after two years of competing at other events. Should be a good one!

Team 599 looks forward to a great weekend with interesting matches. We will be running the Robot FIRST Aid Station (RFAS as we abbreviate it), so we hope all teams that need help take the time to ask for it.

Personally, I wonder if there will be a student ambassador program similar to the one run in San Diego? any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Team 980 is looking forward to competing with some awesome teams in Long Beach!

P.S. This was my 980th post on CD. An omen??

Team 1388 ready to compete at our second competition in long beach. This is always a fun one. We've also made a long overdue change to our robot. Make sure to Grab one of our new red and green injection molded battery tabs! Because we know how it feels to have your next match in two minutes and not know which batteries are charged or not haha...

Our team is getting on the bus to leave in approximately 1 hour!

Good luck and see you there,

In the last half of 233's practice match that I saw, they scored 1 from the middle, cleared another one and then hung. How did they not get picked in Florida?

Because they didnt do any of that at florida and were probably the most penalized team I saw on the webcast. Clearly they are firm believers in design being an iterative process and is one of the reasons they are such a successful program every year.

They had a couple of matches where we got a lot of penalties followed by the last two matches where our radio power cable was severed, so needless to say we left a bad impression. With the addition of a tower and kicker this regional they're definitely a different robot.

Different robot indeed. They're #5.

Congratulations to Nancy McIntyre! I'm surprised that she hadn't already won the WFFA.

Every time her team has submitted her nomination, she has withdrawn it. Somehow this time it slipped by her. It is long overdue in my opinion.

I've never been to the LA regional. What are the best teams/people to look out for?

Thanks,
