WE’RE IN!!!
The principal at Palm Beach Central High School came up with the $6000 entry fee, and team 1889 will be competing at Central Florida. I’ve been working with the team for a little over 2 months now and I’m pretty excited about it - a good group of kids and a dedicated / motivated teacher in the engineering academy.
Time to design that “(pink) powdercoat painted, precision machined, fully automatic mega-arm” 
yay just in time for the semester to end and not having evening classes that keep from the meetings. WOOT! I Have a team To mentor Now With no Less than Gary, Who’s desk is on the opposite side of the building here. Taht R0>< |/|y 20X ()|= work will be much more fun with Robots involved
Team 168 will be there! Our team is pumped and ready for any challenge!!! ha ha we should start a DDR Competition!!! Or at least a Halo comp in the hotels! who’s in?:rolleyes:
I’m in for another year of volunteering–once again, I’ll be the dork who goes to Florida for Spring Break without ever hitting the beach. 
There is a resturant in student union (I’m not even going to attempt to spell it) who has a DDR machine, I went there a few months back, and unless they have fixed it the left pad’s right arrow is broken. So for DDR, I suppose it is bring your own pads.
Depending on when you arrive/leave, I could possibly arrange for the beach to come to you :). I think it’s great that you travel as far as you do to participate in this regional. It’s much appreciated.
The name of the resteraunt is Wackadoos. They actually have a small arcade and billiards its a cool little place. Tho I would much prefer some good games of Guitar Hero 2. heh
Hey! does anyone know the max amount for this regional? The the usfirst site doesn’t include it 
Appreciate the help in advance, thanks!
I think it was 42 officially when registration opened and it filled up; website says 47 now. When I spoke with the regional chairman a few weeks ago he said they had 10 spots held for rookie teams and there were only 4 teams on the wait list at that time. I think last year there were 51 in attendance, so given all that I would guess 52 is the “real” number.
Looks like my guess was right.
In new FIRST site, click on “What’s going on in my area” at the top of the page, then select Florida, and FRC in pull down menu’s
