Wisconsin Regional - 2010

Team 1716 is attending the Wisconsin Regional and is excited to be there. We are also looking forward to meeting all of the other teams that also will be competing in Wisconsin.

1714’s registered for Wisconsin and I’m sure we’re happy to return to our home regional. :smiley:

160 days!!!

Its going to be a blast this year, in addition to having the chance to meet back up with some great people and teams!

You got 1675’s in. Being a 10 minute drive from shop to venue means we’re pretty much obligated to go. :slight_smile:

My team and I would really like to go to the wisconsin regional this year, but I dont believe we will be able to raise enough money in time… If we dont go I think I may drive over there myself :smiley:

I would LOVE if you guys made it to Wisconsin; you were a great team and I might not be going to MN so you should come. Keep fundraising, man, it’s worth it. :slight_smile:

If you make it yourself, you’re welcome to hang out and cheer with us in the stands.

And that is why fundraising is a 12 month approach…

You don’t have to worry about timelines that way.

After registration I posted a note on the white board in the lab welcoming the team to the San Diego regional. I listed our home event (Hawaii) and the Championships also. The new team members were interested but the remaining members of our traveling team were down right dower. When I asked why the long faces they replyed that the special invite for the “all-girl” teams to San Diego was interesting but that they felt sad that we would not be going to Wisconsin this year. It was like a second “home” event for them.

If any team is considering adding an additional event to their competition season consider Wisconsin as a top tier event. The people are some of the friendliest you will meet. The teams will give you the shirt off their backs if will help you get to the arena. We have made some life long friends there. It is not an easy event, the competition will be as hard as you will find anywhere, but the help and support is even better.

We may be changing cheese heads for cheesy poofs, but in the imortal words of Gen. MacArthur “we shall return” (team # 2437)

Please say it isn’t sooooooo. Your team was a pleasure to have around, their energy and attitude will be missed in Milwaukee.

Good luck at all of the other comps your team is attending.

Wisconsin is our second goal, our first goal is to raise enough money to pay for the registration fee for the Championship. Our second goal is to raise enough money to go to the Wisconsin regional. We are already really close to meeting our first goal and about to start on the second. Im crossing my fingers that we raise enough for the wisconsin regional! Thanks for the invite to cheer for you guys!!! Maybe I can find a cheese hat laying somewhere around my house? :smiley:

I agree with you cdebo, and I’ve never even been to the Wisconsin Regional. Just the Wisconsin teams that I have seen and talked to (93, 1714, and 2826) at the Minnesota Regionals is more than enough to show that!

111 has decided to attend Wisconsin as our 2nd regional.

Very cool, although before Midwest last year, the first four events (including one IRI) we have attended with Wildstang, we were beat by 111 in the eliminations.

So much for winning Wisconsin this year…

In all seriousness, I’m more excited about the WI regional now. Glad to hear that Stang’s coming :smiley:

Welcome back!

Now where’s winnovation?

CANADA! lol no, midwest and kansas city is the plan

we’ll miss wisconsin, (i should be there saturday with a crew though)

2826 will be ready to rock n’ roll in it’s second year, and I will definately be back behind the mic. Raul - It’s great to have you guys back!

hmm…

I do not see team 111 on the official list yet? http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/regionalevents.aspx?id=430

C.O.R.E. team 2062 will be there in hopes of repeating their 2088 success.

Second regional registration opens on October 22nd.

Team 93 is coming, like always. :slight_smile:

EDIT: 111 is coming? Well, another good team to add to the contest, I hope we’re with them in the elimination rounds (cross-fingers)
