So, who's coming?

But more importantly, who's excited?

1279 Cold Fusion is coming from central NJ. The students are extremely excited to compete in already their second regional this season.

[Travis Hoffman]

Even though we aren't competing, several Team 48 and other NEOFRA team volunteers are coming to support the event.

Some other Team 48 dork might be there to help out Austintown Fitch rookie team 3193 with whatever and to generally be annoying.

[Dan 1038]

Hey Travis,

We are coming with our cannon in tow! Looking forward to a great event, I know Simbotics is psyched to come to Pitt too... Whee!!!!

[camtunkpa]

222 is excited for Pittsburgh! We can't wait to see what everyone has come up with and how the game plays out. Also welcome and thanks to teams 1114, 1503 and 2809 for providing some Canadian flare.

[Alex Cormier]

I'll be there to provide any assistance to any team in the pits to make sure this event is competitive!

[roborat]

Team 1249 is once again excited about the Pittsburgh Regional. Should be fun as always. Glad to see 1038 returning to Pittsburgh.

On a side note, has anyone heard anything about a webcast?

We'd do one (we did the Pittsburgh webcast last year), but our alumni tech dude who has all the hardware and normally stages the thing is currently in Haiti with another 48 alumnus.

I heard they were looking for teams to sponsor the webcast. Supposedly the team that was originally going to host it, can no longer provide the service for whatever reason. They said they can provide all of the services at the regional, but they need donations from teams to pay for it.

That is last I heard, about a week ago.

[1708xMr.Roboto]

Team 1708 Amped Robotics will be there!

I predict an update on the webcast from "someone in the know" shortly.

Hello! Regional Director from Western PA here - We are indeed planning to stream live video! It will be on both pittsburghfirst.org and steelcityrobotics.org. We've had a few teams step up to sponsor it, and Gabriel Goldman, our Regional Planning Committee Chair, is coordinating that effort. I've posted more information on the Chief Delphi calendar that should be live shortly. We have a lot of exciting things happening this year! And really glad to see the buzz here on Chief Delphi!

Wow, it's like I'm psychic or something.

When in doubt, contact the right people who can answer your questions.

Awesome to hear about the webcast. I will pass it on to our NEOFRA teams.
