This season’s thread to complement the Robot Events listing.
The RobotEvents listing will be up shortly, we are finalizing the date with the local school that will be our venue. We are shooting for a date in Mid-late January that should make the NOVA Regional a perfect tune up for the February Mid-Atlantic Tournament in Maryland.
Blake
I am pretty sure we (24A and 24B) will be there!
7 Teams signed up so far - More to come!
All seven ACME teams (12a-g) will be there. Looking forward to it!
Twisted Botz will be there!
Just giving the thread an occasional bump
Virginia, Maryland, DC and other folks,
Tournament Saturday is 18 days away - If you are planning to attend or think that you might attend; right now is the time to let me know. We would love to have you there on the 23rd!
If you are still unsure and want to give me a percent likelihood that you will attend, that’s OK (90%, 75%, 50%, etc.).
If I don’t hear from any stragglers, we will plan the event around the teams who have signed up so far.
Send me a PM, an email or call me.
See you there
Blake
PS: Remember that this is a good chance to prep for the Mid-Atlantic Championship coming up one month later.
Blake

Blake and his crew did a marvelous job staging this tournament. Many thanks to all of them.
Congratualtions also to the Twisted Bots–they did a superb job as always.
Hope to see you all again soon!
Bill Wiley
Coach, ACME Robotics (12a-12g)
I would also like to thank Blake and all the volunteers for putting on a great tournament. Thanks for posting all the result files also.
The matches with the ACME Robotics teams were certainly the most exciting.
There were some very strong teams and robots there. I think the most exciting match was not in the Finals, but Qual #28. I was helping around the fields and saw the four teams that were placing their robots, and I actually went into the stands to watch the match. Four of the strongest robots were all on one field, going all out trying to keep ahead of the other side. The match ended with only a difference of 4 points, and nearly every ball had moved from one side of the field to the other, at least once.
