Hope everyone’s pre-holidays and pre-builds are going well. It’s that time again. The new year is about to be the dawn of another six weeks of no sleep, tons of work, and lots of fun building our lovely mechanical best friends and preparing them to do battle and represent out team colors.
As we all begin to prep for build season we’ve all got our thoughts even farther ahead to competitions.
I was just wondering where everyone was going this year and if anyone knows where they’re going to be competing for Chairman’s? MOE 365 has changed our routine up from the last two years and we’re heading up to the Finger Lakes Regional. But we’re planning to return home, to the Philadelphia Regional, this year to compete for Chairman’s where we are planning to submit our Chairman’s Award entry.
I wish everyone the best of luck; can’t wait to see everyone on the field again. Happy Holidays!
We’re going to Toronto for the first time. And like Moe our Chairman’s is also going home, in our case to Hartford, where we used to cheer for Buzz and now we cheer for Techno Ticks. Some of the newer teams like Rosie and Gus are looking pretty good, so we might be cheering for them or one of our sister teams (173, 177, 178, 181) next. Its a great home regional, where competition for the chairman’s is tough.
Hey, anyone else out there? Let’s resurrect this thread if we can…MOE is submitting at Philly, and we’d like to hear from everyone else where they are going. We’re into the heart of the build season now, so teams probably have a pretty good idea of where they are going. We’re also still going to Finger Lakes as our other regional this year, just for a change of scenery
I’m not sure where we are submitting, but I hate to see that we aren’t going to be seeing MOE in Pittsburgh this year. Good luck and we will see you in Atlanta.
Team 1249 will be submitting at the Pittsburgh Regional. It is as close to home as we can get. We also will attend the Palmetta Regional in SC again and thinking about submitting website there. Good luck to eveyone in Pittsburgh and stop by and talk for a while.
Team 116 doesn’t have much of a choice, as we’re only going to our home VCU regional and Championship. So, by default, all our awards are being submitted at VCU (rumor has it there will be at least 3 teams who won a Regional Chairman’s last year submitting there).
Like many other teams we will be submitting at our home & only regional the Finger Lakes Regional. We hope to have a good showing again this year. I can’t wait to have MOE come up & visit. It would be great if you could bring your CA stuff so we could have a chance to learn from you guys.
FRC Team 418 will be submitting to our wonderful and very special, Lone Star Regional, where we have been submitting for the past few years. We are an older team who didn’t always submit for the Chairman’s or the Woodie Flowers. We have grown into a team that celebrates a richer FIRST experience because we submit entries to the Chairman’s Award and the Woodie Flowers Award. Funny how that works, the effort that you put forth comes back to you ten-fold. If you aren’t currently submitting entries to a regional Chairman’s Award or Woodie Flowers Award, think about it and do it next year - you won’t ever regret it.
