Who’s going, where ya staying, and what food are you bringing for me
Team #269 Quest Technologies/Pentair Water Treatment & Oconomowoc High School (aka Cooney Quest) from lovely Oconomowoc, WI will be there and staying at the Best Western, I’ll bring the cheese
Team #201, General Motors/Visteon & Rochester High School (aka The FEDS) from Rochester, MI will be there and staying at the Baymont Inn. I’ll have to think about the food…
We’re registered for the Midwest Regional, and I don’t think we have even made reservations for a hotel, but I assume we will be staying at the same place we have stayed for the last few years, the Renaissance North Shore.
71 will be there, as always. According to our coach, we’re staying at the same place as last year, which would be the Sheraton North Shore…hmmm…spin in the elevator game…hehe
For the first time ever, team 6 (Minneapolis, MN) will not be there. For some unknown reason, our mentors decided that since we don’t qualify for nats this year, we should go to the Orlando regional. Why? So we can blow our entire budget on airfare in a year where our primary (read: only) sponsor cut our funding by a third.

Hey just to let you know (just in case you guys can find that hotel) the Sheraton changed to the renaissance hotel.
Team 930 will also be going to the Midwest Regional. Unsure on the hotel we are staying at now. I will update this post later this afternoon. A suggestion. You may want to stop by 930 pit. We have something cool planned.
[edit] We will be staying at the renaissance hotel I think. [/edit]
Team 706 will be there, as usual. This is the only regional we go to, but now that I am Space Monkey Prime we are so much better than past years. We are bringing our own SARAN-WRAPPED cardboard boxes to sleep in (I know, we didn’t NEED to add the luxery(sp?) of saran wrap, but it’s nice) and we hope that the other teams bring cookies for all. Whoever DOES bring cookies will be my new best friend. Seriously though, I have no idea where we will be staying, because after last years fiasco at the hotel (We got kicked outta the pool for accidentally hitting a few people with a soccer ball, then walked dripping wet through the lobby in just our swimshorts and towels in protest) I doubt we will be going back there. . . .

**WOH! I thought team #6 was long gone! BUT THIS IS COOL!! Team 5 has a team next to it now! W00T! I’m glad you could be here!
But, sorry to say, we can’t go to the MidWest regiona. We are going to 3 already, and we don’t have the budget/FIRST wouldn’t like it if we went!!

And I’ll be the one jumping up and down when we win with a robot that is on it’s last rim Woo Hoo. To bad team #6 isn’t goin to the Phili (Pittsburg) regionals.
