If you're wanting to eat closer, anywhere in Market Square is good. I like Tomato Head and Cafe 4 (There's a second Tomato Head location further west if you're staying closer to there). For dessert, there's a Rita's Italian Ice in Market Square or Coolato Gelato on Gay Street by the Tennessee Theater. Coolato Gelato also has paninis and salads, but I haven't tried them.

I have to suggest the K-Town Tavern (formerly the Peerless) because it's owned by a close family friend. They have burgers, pizza, seafood, steak, tex mex - basically a diverse group of good food - something for everyone. It's about 20 minutes from downtown. They have flaming cheese, which is cheese in a skillet that they light on fire.

Of course, there are always chain restaurants. Cumberland Avenue west of the Convention Center near UT has lots of places, like Cookout, Sunspot, and Mellow Mushroom. You'll find tons of places, including S&S Cafeteria, Hard Knox Pizza, among others, further along Kingston Pike/Cumberland (the road changes names).

Re: 2016 Smoky Mountains Regional

My team and I are very excited for the competition! I'm kind of sad, though, because I'm a senior. I'm hoping to volunteer there next year when I'm in college, or wherever the closest regional is. I have a couple weeks to decide...

That is just awesome. Scary good. Looks like this event it is shaping up to be a great field of teams. This is our first time to attend SMR and we are very excited to meet and play with all the regional teams. We too have been trying to get in a little practice.

Re: 2016 Smoky Mountains Regional

Here is a little bit higher quality video from 3824 - our last practice run before packing up for SMR.

We are looking forward to storming the castle this weekend with both old and new friends.

Re: 2016 Smoky Mountains Regional

I'm excited to share that 3966 will once again be hosting a Business Meet-Up on Thursday afternoon in Room 120. Team contacts should have recieved our flyer for the event today in a non-descript email from the regional director. There is absolutely no fee to attend, and the event will be in a combined presentation and roundtable discussion format. It's for teams to share what they do with others.

The flyer is also attached to this post, and we'll be handing them out either tonight or tomorrow morning. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. We hope to see someone from every team there!

Re: 2016 Smoky Mountains Regional

Anyone willing to help upload robot pictures for the teams at Smoky Mountains ?

https://www.thebluealliance.com/event/2016tnkn

All of these pictures will appear on the TBA android app and make scouting easier.
