You are not the only great team that he left out of his commentating.
I am sure it was just an oversight we had a great time playing against you guys in 2007 your tube hanging arm was a beast.

Nah, just still bitter over the quarterfinals in 2007. (I don't know how I missed 1251 on the list, I really don't!)

And at the time I posted that, Flash hadn't registered for Palmetto. (I remember this because I explicitly hunted down 1319 on the list when I was making my hype post and ruled it Officially Strange that y'all weren't on it. I think it was right after second registration opened, though--but I'm definitely looking forward to competing with Flash again!)

And if I missed any other teams, I apologize. Eight seasons of this and my mind sometimes slips.

I notice a few more fresh and returning faces on the list now:

-At long last, Palmetto can say that Kilroy is here! 339 has registered for their first trip to our fair state.
-The 2009 Palmetto champions 21 have registered. (Cue further grumbling on my part. )

I can also (very unfortunately) announce that 1398 is taking the year off from FRC. The fine folks of the Keenan Robo-Raiders are participating in the InventTEAM program this year (check their project page here) and decided that adding FRC to the mix is putting too much on their plates. I hope to see 'em back for 2012.

On the midlands watch, I also note that 1959 has registered for their sixth season. 1293 has yet to register, but I can confirm from their website that they are holding meetings this fall. Hope to see them on the roster soon as well.

Billfred,

I know the timing of the posts and was just giving you a hard time. Appreciate the update on the other SC teams 1398 is great group of people and always seem to work hard to do their best at competitions and have been successful in many ways. It is also great to hear that 1293 is likely to be back as we always seem to be next to them in the pits at the Palmetto regional and they too are a great group of folks and pit neighbors.

We were crushed when we heard Keenan was taking the year off. They were definately a solid partner last year. Wayne is going to Clemson, so we still get to make him cookies.

I wish we could go. We're going to pick up the KOP in Atlanta.
Looks like 1398 is signed up for Palmetto
I know it's early, but hopefully 281 will still host the scrimmage.
23 days!

We too our crossing the border to pick up our KOP. It should be fun to see all of our Georgia friends at kickoff as we will not be attending the Peachtree regional this year.

Team 11 will be back at the Palmetto regional after 5 years.

Lots of strong teams at this regional once again:

11 (2 time Palmetto champs)
95
342
343
744
1102
1251
1319
1902
2614
2815

Of course, I will be cheering for two teams to get back together at this regional. 11+1251

It ought to be some good competition. No more GIANT tank treads like last year. I know for sure the best thing going for us is the minibot having 3 FTC teams and one of them being world champions it kindof helps. But yeah We have some things were modifying to bring to switch out on the robot itself using a PID system on our arm makes it a little slow but it gets the job done were working on a really quick floor pickup system right now that if it works we should be in buisness somewhat.

1 MORE WEEK. I can hear the cry of 1902 in my ears from Florida last year already....

[EricS-Team180]

...and to round out your breakfast meat ensemble, S.P.A.M will returning to Palmetto for the first time 4 years. It looks like a great bunch of teams to mix it up with!
