North Carolina Regional

[Travis Hoffman]

48 will be staying at the Fairfield Inn Crabtree. The bulk of the team is leaving Wednesday evening early and arriving right at the start of the event on Thursday. Hurray for cost savings.

I, on the other hand, will be coming down with 379 a day earlier, because I don't fancy spending all day on my feet immediately after spending all night on a cramped bus.

We have the flying WV on our bot....Were we all in Pittsburgh while the Backyard Brawl was in Morgantown last year?

I can't wait; this looks like it's going to be a very deep regional in terms of robot quality.

2614 will be in the Crabtree as well.

very cool maybe talk some strategy

My family of volunteers (myself, your head ref and a scorekeeper) are excited to be there! I have no idea where we're staying though, and we may be bringing another volunteer from our FIRST family

This is going to be a great regional! We are driving down there on Wednesday and exploring the area a bit. Good Luck to everyone! See ya on the field

I'm leaving first thing in the morning. We have a tour set up at UNC Chapel Hill on Wednesday at 3:30. Bacon will be ready to play after that. Can't wait to see our friends from Ohio again!!

Funny - 379 is visiting Duke.

48 is looking forward to seeing you guys again - you were great in Connecticut last year.

Does this mean that we will have to start making "Andy Baker Jokes" instead of "Chuck Norris Jokes"?
