I have an email in to Clemson's IT folks at the support address listed from last year's stream. Hopefully they'll email me back. (Probably should've left off my USC affiliation to grease the wheels...)

Team 343 will be hosting a blood drive at the Palmetto Regional on Saturday from 9am to 2pm. This is a benefit blood drive for one of our students, Jordan Hawkins. The blood mobile will be parked outside the coliseum for those interested in helping out. If you are 16 and would like to give, you can with parental permission. The consent form is attached. Hope to see lots of people from the CD community there.

A quick heads up if you are unloading pits/tools tomorrow morning. The Avenue of Champions will be one-way from East to West (same as before). The directions on the Palmetto site have people turning down Perimeter road. That's fine for parking, but for unloading trailers it would be best to turn a block earlier onto Centenial Blvd. and then right onto the Avenue of Champions. See you soon.

Also, does anyone have a decent sized compressor? Plan B will have to be to take 5 robots and use their compressors together to pump it up .

We Will be on USTREAM I am hosting the webcast from my HATCAM (IPHONE) Look for the guy wearing a large green leprechaun hat

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?!?!?

Well, team 1261 is.

We're settled into our rooms and full from the delicious barrel, and now we can't wait for tomorrow.

We'll be there in the wee hours of the morning in hopes of getting a good jump on the changes. I would REALLY like to run at least one practice match tomorrow, but all of that depends on how long our changes take.

We set up the practice field today; it's indoors this year!

WOOHOO! Hauling 1618's robot up the ramp and covering it with a trash bag for the run through the rain was a bit rough last year.

As for the webcast crowd, the webcast page has been updated to say it'll be running Friday and Saturday.

yup, im ready but like you, im not sure how much we will be running tomorrow b/c of our changes...

[hipsterjr]

we had most our gremlins at Peachtree, so we are expecting a lot more practice tomorrow that we simply didn't get in week 1. So yeah, we are ready

[JohnFogarty]

HOLY @%^$ We're ready!!!! compared to Florida it's gonna be a blast for those who were on the practice feild when we had the eureka moment sorry for hitting you with about 20 balls xD.

[hipsterjr]

Thank you to everyone that came out to 342's animation/ inventor / summer pygames workshop. Hopefully every one got something out of it. We would like feedback for any improvements for next year.

Wow - not sure what to say, but that was fantastic and fun!

Considering our team hasn't won a regional in 4 years (sadly) working with 343 and 1398 in a beautiful, swell strategy just made things absolutely fantastic.

Like, I don't know what to say. I'm happy and bewildered. We all rocked!
