yeah, that’s what it’s supposed to be, but remember that there’s new this year is a 10’ height limit.
I hope that in the future some of the funding can go towards a team social. Maybe ice skating at Dahlgren Rink? 
I just think it would be nice for the teams to bond after a great day of matches. Maybe next year.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at Chesapeake!
Al, We would love to find a sponsor for a team social but it hasn’t happened yet. No money=no social. Send suggestions!
My dream-all teams and invited VIP guests sitting down together for pasta in King Hall (seats 4000, this is where the middies eat).
Maybe next year…
Maybe we could put some thought to this in the off-season. A team social would enhance what is already a great regional!
Thanks for all that you do.
Check to see if the Glee Club is performing during the Regional. That is always a great treat! Many different styles of music, from traditional sailor chanteys to rock and roll.
You too! We enjoy having you all here. If you want to do something in Annapolis, just contact us or visit our website.
Team 175 
will be going to Annapolis and we are excited. (not just because 7 hour bus rides provide a lot of “team bonding”) This year when we were talking about regionals we all agreed that we had to go back to Chesapeake. Come visit me in the stands, I will be the person in yellow frantically trying to get papers into a file box. My scouting team should be able to tell you your scoring average if we are doing it correctly. Good luck to everyone, can’t wait to be there.
P.S. 007, excited to see that you are coming back this year!
Can’t wait to see you all again! It was wonderful being alliances with you last season. Hope we can team up once again.
We will be there with 768 and are looking forward to meeting all our CD friends and seeing old friends as well - anyone game for getting together on Friday? There are great restaurants and shops…lets get together. We can introduce our new Alaskan friends to Maryland crabs!

I sent an email this morning from one of the teams to all the main and alternate contacts for the 64 teams coming to the Chesapeake, looking for other teams to hang out with on Friday.
I can’t help coordinate anything, but would be happy to pass on any information to the entire group.
Email me at jbeattyFIRST@aol.com
Sounds cool. Hopefully, our captains and Head Mentor all have received the memo. I wish I had it, but because I’m right under the captain, and not the captain, I won’t get it until Monday. If the team has it, however, they can send it to me at my e-mail address in my profile or over AIM.
After visiting the NJ regionals and watching the week 1 & 2 webcasts, I noticed that almost all the fields have the big screen along one side of the field. However, last year at Annapolis I remember the screen being behind one of the alliance stations.
Is there going to be anything done to allow the team with their back to the screen to see the current score? It would be really inconveinant for the coaches and drivers to have to keep turning around to see the score. I noticed in the rules FIRST mentioned that something would be done, but I was wondering if anyone knew the specifics yet?
Team 1524 will be attending, and to the person who posted before me, at the UTC Hartford, the jumbotron was behind the red alliance side, but we didnt have any live scoring.
If anyone would like to meet me, please click in my sig.
I’ll be looking forward to meeting anyone. You must know though, I am UBERLY OBSESSED with cars, but it usually doesn’t come out till I see something cool. (Read:Volvo 850’s, GMC Syclones, Toyota Corolla GT-S, Nissan 240SX, etc, etc.)
wooo Maryland blue crabs! Aaaand OLD BAY. Oh yeah, more OLD BAY!
when I was really little, I was a little shocked that there was no Old Bay outside of Maryland.
P. S. Team 888 just got back from the Pittsburgh Regional. Just three days until Chesapeake, and we are exhausted and ready!!!
Disappointed to report that it appears there will be no NASA TV or webcast this year at the Chesapeake.
I’m very disappointed that I can’t be in Chesapeake this year - we had the BEST TIME there last year - I know the planning committee has been working hard to make this a terrific time for all of you attending, so ENJOY and GOOD LUCK!
less that a week :ahh: :yikes: :eek:
What! No webcast or tv? How sad - we had our vcr all set to record, especially with the guest announcer coming in all the way from Manchester!
what? AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Hey guys, I’ll bring my iPod with recording attachment to the regional for some interviews for FIRSTcast. If you want to be on the show, I SHOULD be in my 384 uniform. If not the 384 uniform, I will have a 384 hat on.
