2009 Cass Tech District

[Novi Hopper]

We're...what, six days away from the big day? Team 503 is busy plugging away at our testbot and preparing for our first competition this year.

So who's all coming? Anyone excited? Yada yada yada? We're lookin' forward to some awesome matches here.

Well, it wouldn't be any fun at a district regional without us team 326. Were coming with a ton of cofindance and some good foturne and hoping to recapture some of that luck we had at the Great Lakes Regional last year.

THere are some great teams coming to...
67, 123, 247( who has won a district event already) 469, 503, 573, 1701 and not to metion the 7 ROOKIE TEAMS!!! This event is going to be the most competeitive so far! Until probably Troy or West Mich. , the last 2 distrcit events. But hopefully we will have some fun!

haha i got one from a silent auction. i wear it around a lot, fun times when i walk past someone from FIRST and they do a double take when they ask if im a thunder chicken and i respond no.

im planning on being there this weekend though my team isn't competing. our team mom is co-chairing and so most of us volunteered so... i get to miss every Friday this month .

ill be there

good luck to all the teams, lets make this interesting!

Sounds like we've got a pretty loaded/enthusiastic event. This is gonna be fun.

If you're looking for a 503 shirt, I might take you up on that offer.

You were working with 2832? Really? The Warriors were working out of our facility, so it sounds like we're located pretty close to you guys too. Small world, eh?

We played 'em in a little scrimmage on our field and they've got a pretty awesome setup going on. They've also got that sweet undercarriage lighting too, which I must say I'm a major fan of. XD

Yep - I am mostly with 862 out of canton/plymouth/salem, I was helping Livonia, I live in Farmington Hills... it's a big old SE Michigan FIRST triangle.

Livonia was very lucky to have you guys help them out at your facility. They were getting help from lots of places... good to see everyone pitch in to help out the New Kids On The Block.

Better a sucky team than a team that blows..

And don't worry, Grant will be there. Not behind the glass, unfortunately, but my presence will be known.

Can't wait to see them in action.

Anybody know how the parking is going to be at cass? Hopefully someone that could compare kettering to cass. If there is going to be an offsite lot like kettering maybe a team could set-up a shuttle. You know, community service type thing.

I have to disagree after looking at the lists i wouldn't be surprised to see Lansing as the most competitive district event, being on its own week and not splitting the good teams like W Michigan and Troy the following week.

Thanks seraphim33, but lets narrow this down alittle. Picture the parking lot across from oakland mall that has gamestop, if you can. Now picture that lot completly full. You guys got that much parking?
