2009 Arizona Regional

Hey, who's excited for the Arizona Regional?

[TotalChaos]

I am!

Bring it on!

I'm so stoked.
Missing so much work is going to be painful, but I always have so much fun at regionals

It's the only FIRST event I'll get to attend this year, so I'm hoping it will be good! The NERDS are aiming for a win this year, but I'm guessing it'll be difficult if 39 and 60 manage to pair up again... It's hard to stop an alliance with such great teams on it!

Everyone should post pics of their robots to see what we have coming...

We are very excited about AZ. It is the only regional we can afford this year, or for many years to come. We are going to Atlanta as well, but it may be a skeleton team. $@#$@#$@#$@# that economy thingy!

Also, has anyone heard if Don Knight will be announcing again? I don't know if it would be the same without him.

I have to say this year all the teams really showed gracious professionalism.

On behalf of team 698 I'd like to thank all the teams that helped us pull through this year. 39, 842, 2449, 1212, and our alliance 812. Without them we wouldn't have made it as far as we did. I love you guys and I hope to see you all next year and perhaps throughout the off-season.

All your help showed our rookie members what FIRST is really about, and I think that speaks for itself.

I have the utmost respect for all of you. You're all worthy of the chairmen's award to me.

Also a really special thanks to 39 and 842. We kidnapped your programmers for a good portion of the event. ^_^
