2010 Waterloo Regional - No Rookies?

[,4lex S.]

To add to Karthiek's point above, the ring road south of the PAC could be a bad place to get back logged thursday morning. Current construction on the quantum nano centre could potentially become a traffic nightmare with teams lining up alongside construction vehicles.

If you can get your robots in on wednesday night, you can probably avoid the construction entirely.

How did Thursday go?

From the reports I've heard 2056 looks to have another great robot, them and 1114 are going to be a dangerous duo. Who else is looking good?

I've been working with the team running the Waterloo regional to try and get a webcast up for tomorrow, if things go well it should be brodcasted here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/2010-f...erloo-regional

i think israel regional was the most challenging to the rookies. there were 9 rookie team. 4 rookie teams make it to the final 24. 3 rookie teams were in one alliance at the final. my team - 3339 were in that alliance and we won the rookie all star. the bosnian team won the rookie inspiration award. the team 3383 who were in the final 8 won the rookie seed. (my team was chosen as number 3 to the final)
