So. Who’s going to the regional in FIRST that needs air conditioning for its outdoor pits?
I didn’t think the pits where that bad last year, minus the lack of power on what was it Friday morning? Maybe just more openings in the tent.
From what my team mates tell me, if you were out side last year, you should be inside this year. And since we were outside this year, that should be a problem.
And being across from Pink in the outdoor pits is like :ahh:. (no offence to Pink, but all that pink just glows against the white of the tarp.)
I’m kind of hoping that the social will have more teams attend this year than last year.
Note: If you see 1065 playing hacky sack, come join us. We don’t bite and always enjoy some new people to play with.
Also: What do people think of referring to the regional as CFR (Central Florida Regional)? I tend to hear allot of people call it FLR but when ever I hear that I think of Finger Lakes…
Money/school permiting, I’d love to come to this regional. I’ll try guys 
You guys can guarantee we’ll be there, but that’s a long time from now.
It may seem like a long time now, but once January comes along, it’ll come up and bite you in the bott (bad robot humor :D)!
I’m kind of ecstatic about this years turn out. It seems to have allot of out of state teams signed up already.
Here’s the team list:

well, PINk is registered. we’ve always been in the outdoor pits. can’t wait for january!!
Team 1345 can’t wait to get there. It will be another agressive competition as always. =)
At the same time, I would like to welcome team 34, 56, 69, 157 and 1027 to the Florida regional. We floridians will make sure that you have a good time down here.
I can’t wait to come to the Florida Regional!!!
The Aztechs have never come to the florida regional so it should deffenently be an adventure.
See you all there,
Tom 157
Team 1158 from Collbran, Colorado has registered. Looking forward to completing with and against 233. Last time was the Colorado Regional.
we had a blast in colorado that year. climbing what you considered a hill, we considered a mountain and of course our kids in board shorts “snowboarding” on the tops of rubber maid containers. the florida regional will be awesome as always.
1902 will be representing again this year, the florida regional is in our backyard so we’ll be ready compete. Something like 3/4 of our mentors either currently attend UCF or have attended UCF, and about 30% of our graduating seniors from last year attend there, so hopefully we’re looking to bring home the bacon!
Oink Oink Boom.
Don’t forget 230…
Somehow I fear this may be the beginning of a N.E.R.D. invasion :rolleyes:
Filled already? Holy wow. I can’t wait for the super regional next year lol! Then again who can beat florida weather during the late winter.
hahaha i can’t wait to see what u crazy floridians have in store for us
Team 245’s going for the first time this year. For the last few years we’ve gone to Sacramento, but we’ve decided to switch it up. It’ll be nice to go out of robotics the same way I came in (I went to Nationals [as it was called way back when] with my brother when I was in 4th grade, seems a fitting regional for my senior year…)
Also, I hope there are some people down there who play Ultimate Frisbee (the best sport ever, I might add), as Team 245 officially challenges any team man (or woman) enough to face us!
I will be cheering for Team 56, all the way from New Jersey.
1523 will be there! Expect more little green men to be scattered around
Anyone interested in a Xbox tourney? We have quite a bit of experience running Cat-5 cables all over hotels (a favorite line of those involved has become “We need more lamps!”; the lamps had two outlets on the front, and were daisy-chained to create a last minute power strip. We had roughly 7 lamps in one room by the end of the night. Also, running cable five stories straight up was interesting… :p). A local LAN Center recently opened (Internet MAYhem) and if something similar is available near the arena it would be perfect! It’s never too early to start scouting out this sort of thing ;).
Unfortuanately Ramtech 59 will not be joing you guys this year at Florida Regional, we have decided to go to Las Vegas regionals, we are trying to get some donations to make both Florida and Las Vegas regional possible, but if we don’t go we will be cheering for you guys at heart. Keep the spirit alive, florida is known for the spirit!! SHOW IT!!
Ah, finally! We’ll be able to show some of you from the Mid-Atlantic how we do it in FL! :]
I know there’s a lan center on campus, but it might be PC-only. There’s also one off-campus, so I’ll have a look online later to see where exactly it is off of Alafaya Trail.
Your team will be missed this year! I know last year it was very hard to miss your team, as you guys didn’t stop dancing for 3 days! :ahh:
I’ve never really seen Ultimate Frisbee at the Florida regional, but keep in mind last year was my first year and I was a bit preoccupied with hacky sack.

It looks like there is going to be another regional / FCAT conflict, can anyone confirm?
That’s sad to hear. You guys were so enthusiastic last year, fun to be around. The best of luck to you at Las Vegas.
