There wasn’t an “official” thread before, so here it is. It’s hard to believe that the first ever Tech Valley regional is under a week away! I know that 2791 is excited to have an official “home” event and we’re ready for some stiff competition. Also, the last I heard the event was short on volunteers, so if you’re in the area please consider helping a new regional become a success. The team list:
20 The Rocketeers 2053 TigerTronics
53 Area 53 2228 CougarTech

I’m looking forward to the new event and venue and seeing the teams that we no longer get to play with in NE.
I’ll be one of the Game Announcers for the weekend, so if you have anything you’d like us to know about your team (or if we pronounce anything wrong) feel free to come find me.
Team 379 is looking forward to attending the Tech Valley Regional, but we also heard the weather was going to get bad for the trip there. The 7-8 hour bus ride from Ohio should be fun!!
Team 3990 Tech for Kids, from Montréal (Québec, Canada), will be heading to Troy on Thursday morning, starting at 3 am. It’s a 4 hours drive from Montréal, not counting the time spent at the border, unpacking and packing everything.
Unpacking a robotics team truck at night and during the snowstorm, that will be interesting. :eek:
This should be an awesome regional. I’m really excited to see how well all of the capital region teams will perform, since many of them have a practice bot for the first time!
Good luck, and we’ll see you at the competition!
So happy this regional got set up i was gonna look into going to the long island regional which is 5 hours away.( being I am an alumni from a long island team and came up here to start a team).
Good luck to everyone at the competition can’t wait to see everyone there.
On a side note, how are teams dealing with the winter storm coming in on Wednesday? We are still determining if we can leave early to beat it or head out early Thursday.
I’ll be there helping to make the inaugural Tech Valley Regional awesome! After a great week 2 event at the New England Groton event, I’m looking forward to how week 3’s strategies will play out. We’ve got a great set of teams coming in, including a few that NY doesn’t typically see coming in (thanks for travelling!)
See you all on Friday, drive safe!
Hopefully that was a happy Thank You and not a disappointed one
It looks like our weather here is changing by the hour. The latest has a snow/rain mix for morning, rain during the day and back to snow in the evening.
Sending some of that New England FRC weather your way for good luck!
Good luck to all of our friends competing this weekend at Tech Valley! 3467 was very interested to attend but it wasn’t in the cards this year. Hopefully in the next year or two we can make a trip out to Tech Valley!
