I was actually going to ask for a repeat, but since that’s out of the question, how about suggestions or information you have about the hotels that are about a mile and a half away from Thomas & Mack. I looked at the sheet and there are about 4 or 5 of those, are there any you know to have particularly good or bad service or terms?
Thanks,

Repeat for Team 8 not out of the question by a long shot…I was just trying to say we for sure can help you with questions about visit but wouldn’t begin to say we can help out with repeat without sounding over confident…something about not counting chickens before they hatch?
Not aware of any negatives for hotels listed on LVFIRST website but I will check…
We’re staying at the Embassy Suites. I’ve never had a bad experience at any of them, and I’ve been to quite a few. Plus, you can’t beat their free breakfast
Thank you both. A repeat is definetly not out of the question. We just have to, well, build a robot 
Free breakfast might be extremly cool, and that might make us stay there (if there’s room). We’re currently waiting for reponses from the group quote options of a few places, and then we’ll book.
I can’t wait.

this will be the most competitive vegas regional yet!
Hey all teams! dont forget to go to http://www.lvfirst.org/FRC.htm to get all the important documents, like food etc! Thanks
I wish my team had chosen to go to the Las Vegas Regional…
If any of you teams going there see team 1983, SkunkWorks, (They’re the collest rookie team ever!) tell them 1359 says HI!
I’m still wearing their button. 
HEY team 1885 will be there we wereinvieted soo we will be coming all the way from Virginia we cannot wait to have some good competitors out on the west coast i hear they are pretty competitive i guess i will just have to wait and see
Well! There are a couple good teams out west (like maybe all of them.) We make friends easily, so be sure to visit all the other pits.

Are you guys ready for 2 Florida Finalists, a Semi-Finalist, and a Quarterfinalist?!
I’m psyched!! Looking forward to finally meeting some of those legendary West Coasters. We leave in 17 days!
and a NJ finalist;)
Yup. Vegas will be stacked. Good luck to everyone in their respective regionals before Vegas, and we’ll see you at Sin City.
hey how about a another quarter finalist
:ahh:
And lets not forget two of the three Los Angeles Regional Champions are going out to Vegas
Fair to say this might be the most competetive of all the regionals???Not only will it be loaded with champions and finalists, but also it will be the final week after a month long learning curve…987 welcomes the challenge!
this is looking to be THE most competitive regional.
Almost like Newton last year at championships:ahh: !!!
Too bad team 25 didn’t make the repeat trip here. Then I bet all eyes would be on this regional!
Sorry guys- the cash wasn’t there this year. And it looks like we have a big trip planned for next year…
Of course you could come back to NJ so we can have that rematch… ; )
WC
How about 2 or 3 Arizona champions:ahh: 39,1013 and maybe 60.
39 got the best industrial design award. we were on top of the ranking list the whole weekend and never went down in AZ, I’m looking forward for Vegas.
Wayne,
You do realize that your the only team that prevented us to getting to a finals in every regional we ever did, which was last year in the quarters!
And of course, the championship in NJ a couple of weeks ago!
If we dont make it to Jersey next year, we will see you folks on OUR home turf in Hawaii next year…
maybe its the shirts…
(actually in 1999 I ran into an advisor from a hawaiian team (yours?) at the NH kickoff. He saw the shirt at the time and said “$@#$@#$@#$@#- we dont have the nerve to wear something THAT tacky at home!” 
)
