Canadians at the Nationals?

[Harrison]

783 Will be there.

We're flying with Continental Airlines 7pmish on the 9th, direct to Houston from Toronto.

The hotel we're at is in the Hyatt Regency (I beleive).

Thats 3 Canuck teams at the Hyatt! Watch out!

CANADA REPRESENT!!!

(psst: Everyone bring your Canada flags)

[Shanan]

whoa! 3 Canadian teams in the same hotel?!? rock on! I'll do a little search for a canadian flag, though we've already been told by a bunch of teams to take the canadian flag off of our robot. So the chances of our teacher letting us bring an actual flag are slim to nill. We'll probably just end up painting it on our face instead or something.

[Harrison]

Our robot is plastered with Canadian Flags, and we have a few big, real, flags as well.

We did all that in Michigan, it went over really well. At one point on Saturday at the GLR we had an an entire section chanting 'Go Canada!' We were the only Canadians at the GLR.

Who all was telling you to take off your Canada stuff???

[Shanan]

some people from a few different teams mentioned that we should remove it when we were at the Canadian Regional. A couple of my teachers have expressed their concern over it too. I don't think it's THAT big of a deal, so I'm hoping that we'll be able to keep it on. Besides, that flag took us like 2 hours to cut and put on, so I have noooo desire to take it off!!

I'm in the same boat as you as far as school goes. I've been sick for almost a week now. I was sick the day before regionals, so I missed school. Then I missed 2 more days of school because I was at the regionals. And now today my little flu has decided to appear once again, so I've missed yet another day of school. YIKES! I've got like 8 days of craziness to get through before the regionals, with tests, assignments, ISU's - it seems everything is due this week/next week. Everyone on SWAT seems to be suffering like this, but Houston is the light at the end of our tunnel. We all seem to be in robot withdrawal or something. All we can think of is things we should get/buy before we leave for the championship. Which reminds me....I still have to go out and buy gifts for the mentors and teachers who helped. Oh my...it's gonna be one looooong week!

But it's worth it!

Playoffs start on Wednesday night... Leafs should be in Philly.. as long as ESPN2 broadcasts the series, I will be happy... *crosses fingers*

Now... 3 Canadian teams in the same building should make for interesting nights during Leaf games... I remember the chaos that we caused (just 610) last year in Florida. After every Leaf goal, everyone on the team would go running out of the room yelling... Anyone who's not on Crescent Robotics remember that?

I plan on finding a flag to bring... If not a Canadian flag, my Leafs flag is coming to Houston... and going up in our pits...

I'll be mighty upset if they don't have the series on.

And my nice big 4'x6' Toronto Maple Leaf flag is definitely coming - along with my collection of big Canadian flags.

Lets start the chant now.... GO! LEAFS! GO!

I hopen we can add 1 more Canadian team. Team 188 is going to West Michigan this week and if we win then .....
Canadian teams on Currie field will get a little extra from the announcer(me) being Canadian and all, EH. Lets show them that we can make the Championship as exciting as the Canadian Regional.

Our team is attending the Chamionship In Houston.
Our Team Number Is 1114
Our team name is Simbotics

wow! 4 canadian teams staying in the same hotel now?!? Hyatt will probably be the loudest hotel in Houston!

Good luck to 188 on their upcoming regional. It would be great to see you at the championship!
