Definitely very interesting!


And 10 matches would be great, especially when some Regionals only had 7/8.

I think NYC was the only one that had 8, everyone else had 9 or more. FIRST really tried to increase the qualification rounds for everyone this year.

Israel I think had 3

3 that counted. They had a full day before those 3, but the teams decided to throw those out due to the communication issues they had all over the place.

Yep, he's got the blue hair. Well, it seems like we have a chance, then! Thanks for telling me.

Team 1727 is excited to join you all at Newton! Our robot flies, controls balls with tractor beams and can actually instantaneously transport all the balls into one goal, and that is all before we turn on the power.

Oddly enough we couldn't do all that until Dean Kamen signed our bot!

I have a few serious predictions though!

24 teams will make the elimination rounds at Newton. 3 will actually win the division. One rookie team will be awarded the highest rookie seed and team 1727 will have a blast no matter what happens!!!

I like your outlook. That's basically how we try to be at all our events, and it's worked pretty well so far!

Stop by our pits and say Callie sent you, and you might be able to get a tape measure and a glance at our pretty pretty bumpers.

FYI Blair always does Galileo and I think Chiniqua did Archimededs until last year when unless I'm mistaken she didn't do a Championship field.

The MC for Newton will be Chiniqua
You will also see Dave Verbrugge MC'ing on all the fields

Mark will be on Archimedes

Mark told us a little fib then.
He said Curie.
That's 4 for 4 this season, we've had him as an MC!
Archimedes just got better!!

[AnibaS]

We're deciding whether we want to play an all-out offensive game.
We played mostly defense in NJ, and then switched to playing more offensively in NY, and did overwhelming better in NY.

We are currently working on improving our kicker (we will be quite busy Wed. night )

[musicspeaks]

very excited
good luck to all teams!

67 + 125 = win?

I certainly appreciate the props, and glad to hear when people enjoy my announcing. I will be volunteering for FTC Wednesday-Saturday morning, I'm hoping to catch the Newton eliminations. I'd be honored to announce at the Championship Event someday, FTC or FRC, but the ones that currently do it are the best announcers and emcees FIRST has to offer. Chiniqua, Mark, Blair, Don, Andy, So on and so forth do a great job every year, no matter which one of them you get, you're in for a fun event.
