I can’t wait to go with 1922, Oz-Ram! I read negative things about week 1 regionals but I would hate to wait for a later one. Our team is very pleased with Tin Man VII and we want to see how it compares with all the teams that come to Manchester.

I’m looking forward to GSR too! Just a note for teams traveling to NH - President Obama is supposed to speak in Nashua next Thursday. I suspect that we’ll all be having a good time testing robots and catching up with teams we haven’t seen in a while but if he’s here early or late enough in the day, some travel might be impacted. I’m thinking mostly of traffic delays.
Here is a quick video I made of team 3467’s robot after requests from family, friends, and co-workers were getting numerous! Feel free to link photos/vids of your robots too!
6wd 2 speed with AM Plactions and IFI wheels
Full width ball pickup that doubles as our bridge manipulator
Shooter capable of shooting from half court but we stick to the key
The Cardinals (FIRST Team 811) will be there launchin’ balls! Good luck to everyone, and great job to all the students for putting out some great works, can’t wait to see what you guys have there!
Sadly 176 wont be attending BAE this year, but a few members of the team will be traveling up Saturday to watch the end of qualifications, and root on our favorite New England teams in eliminations.
1493 just finished packing all the tools and goodies to bring and cant wait to trek thru the snow in the morning (hopefully making it on time). We made big steps this year and cant wait to see how things turned out.
