You're making me nervous, stop it!. Just kidding, keep it up it makes scouting that much easier.

It all goes well..i should be welcoming people to our pits on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

For ur scouting sheets, I just returned from a practice session and Team 1261 can easily do 2 laps in hybrid and if we can get our controller working then we should be able to get both balls off.

Are you using wheel counters in hybrid? That's the only way I can think of you being able to do that.

That would be very cool. Man, there are so many amazing teams with great robots in our division that I want to pair up with... this is why I hate alliance selections; you only get to pick two.

I want at least one match with 365, 357, 1124, 1024, 1902, 1261, and 71. Many more but those stick out in my head. Never been with Moe always been against them. Come on FIRST let me work with Moe. haha.

I love how all teams talk about teams in their areas (most of the time), like I'm hoping to be on an alliance with 27 and 1024 because I know their skills. It will be interesting at the competition when people see teams who they never knew about before that are kicking their butts (I am included in that group)

See that's the problem... my list looks a lot like that, except with even more teams. I didn't put 1124 on my list, though- for some strange reason, we play EVERY match with them.

O the humor on this thread kills me. But yeah even if we don't get to play matches with all of those teams. I want to meet everyone who has been posting on this thread at the Webhug so you better all be there. Please. You all seem very cool and the webhug is pretty fun from what I hear. Have not been yet because I never get the time.

That's why you shouldn't have those lists, then you won't be disappointed when you aren't with Moe (but hopefully you are). I like the completely random, "Oh we're with team X. That's cool."

What is the webhug? I have heard about it but don't know what it is, and seeing I'm the only one from my team who posts here I don't think they would know.

EDIT: Nevermind I found out, and I'm totally going!

[sdcantrell56]

Yeah I would love to play with so many teams in this division it's just not fair. Theres not enough matches. haha. I would love to meet all of you guys from here. We should come up with a way to know who we are.

[ttldomination]

Hey, seeing that there are so many bots that are amazing at this regional...I'm sure we'll get a chance to play with most people...but that also means that we will get a chance to play *against* good teams too....it'll be tough and fun and same time...crying and laughing...hot and cold...i'm gonna stop now.

You will know me by being the tall white guy with the operator badge. But if you find a way to let everyone know who everyone is let us all know.

Nametags noobs...Nametags. Oh and they need to have your Chief Delphi name and team number on them too. I'll try to grab a hand full of those sticker name tags and try to stop by our pit to get one. I'll post it up if I go out and buy them.

lol, forgot that MORT shirts have names on them already. Mine will have Akash Rastogi on it and obviously we're the bright yellow and black.

Nametags, or like someone holds up a big sign at the webhug that says "ARCH-MEDES Thread Here"

But nametags are a must

I hope you do and post them... be interesting seeing a tiny bot and a FRC bot side by side... or a tiny bot sitting on the FRC bot.

Stogi, I don't need a name tag lol. I wear mine everyday on my head. In all seriousness if you can't find the black dude with the fro and the orange cape you may just wanna get your sight checked Btw, I think my cape should have "TheFro" on the back but, I don't know yet.

Not sure how this is going to work but just curious how many people
are using the robo coach. Are you using standard remotes or heavily
modified ( lots of ir leds ). Since there are so many robots doing killer
autonomous it cold be an IR TRAFFIC JAM if everyone does it at once.

Anyone already have this happen? How did you resolve it?
