Woo hoo!! we finally got registered for our 2nd regional - Las Vegas. Looking for help now for hotel and transportation accomodations. If you’re from the area, and could give me some input on hotels close by and the availability of public transportation or whether we need to charter a bus, it would be appreicated. Please email to surfnski@digital.net
PINK is coming…
Team 254 is planning on attending Las Vegas as our third regional.
294 is considering it for our third regional. It looks like it’s going to be tough though.
Technically until you pay this year you aren’t registered…if the other teams pay and the all the spots are taken you will be moved to waitlist even if it happens BEFORE the payment deadline.
I don’t like this new idea, but technically those who secure their funding immediately can leap frog straight to the head of the line…kinda sucks but whatever the divide between the haves and the have nots i guess just grows wider…
HEY PINK WE SHALL MEET AGAIN RAMTECH IS GOING!!! SEE YA THERE!!
Last year we stayed at the AmeriSuites that’s right off the strip. The hotel was relatively cheap…much MUCH cheaper than anything on the strip, and it was definitely within walking distance of the venue.
The hotel was nice, the venue was awesome, the teams wonderful, and the overall experience amazing. I wish our team could go back this year, we’d do it in a heartbeat :).
Team 4 will be attending the LV regional for the first time!
Can’t wait to see you all there!
233, 254, 330, and 987…NASA Championship event? 
Now, only if 116, 118, and 122 could go too. 
It’s so awsome that all of these east coast teams are coming! I can’t wait. Looks like its gonna be a competative regional.
Last year we had the most fun at the Vegas Regional. Unfortunately it isn’t in the budget for this year. But we look forward to seeing our friends from the west at Atlanta later in the season

Look out for 1902 … we are talking now of switching to the vegas regional ( from the boston wait list )… who knows its stacking up to be pretty competitive.
The Las Vegas Regional has always been a great regional, but this year looks to be the best by a long shot!
Go to Vegas. Boston is freezing already.
That would be awesome. On top of that, I have yet to year about a bad experience from FIRST/First Participants at the LV Regional. Maybe LoneStar next year for a NASA Head-to-Head?

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU GUYS WENT!!!
We will have awesome florida representation…
Pink and Exploding Bacon… w00t w00t
Well it looks like its been done 1902 going to vegas!! Already shaping up to be an extremely competitive competition.
Also, I’ve noticed that this regional is going to have a lot of the USA covered a fair representation from a lot of the different areas.

Any East coast teams close to CT going to Las Vegas? I’m thinkin’ about going but would like some travel buddies.
Anyways, PM me if you’re from the East and going to Vegas. I’m not commiting to Vegas yet, but it seems like it would be a fun event, in a pretty fun environment.
I’m mentoring team 2150 of Chadwick Prepatory School in Palos Verdes, California; They plan to go to Las Vegas as their regional.
Watch out for team 2150 (Wick Wobots), they are mentored by some great mentors formerly of team 294 and have a corporate sponsorship from Northrop Grumman.
Will do!! I’m actually from Palos Verdes, so I was excited to see Chadwick on the team list. I’m sure they’re going to be good, especially with help from 294.
