Checked in
It looks like everyone is here and most of the students are checking out the hotel. Internet access is more $$ than i want to pay, so all my posts will be from the phone. More tomorrow.

Preparing for Milwaukee
Our time has finally come. We've had a couple weekends to watch webcasts of other regionals; we've been able to learn how to score points and also how to lose them. Now it is our turn at the plate. Our first regional will begin in 3 days on Thursday March 13.
Our robot was shipped several weeks ago and lately we've been tinkering with sensors and tweaking things here and there. Not everything is working, but we'll have time on Thursday to make modifications to the robot and also apply what we've learned from software tests to our competition code. It certainly is getting exciting!
As of this morning, there doesn't appear to be a webcast for the Milwaukee regional.
If you're interested in Team 904's performance in this regional, keep your browser pointed to this site. I intend to blog the whole time we're in Milwaukee. I know my posts have been sparse lately, but I hope to post quite frequently, with less content. I also intend to snap a lot of pictures and post them to my Flickr account.
If any readers have questions about Team 904 or the Wisconsin Regional, leave me a comment and I'll do my best to deliver an answer.
Look out Milwaukee, D Cubed is coming to town!

week one - complete
It's been a while since my last post; it always seems I never have enough time to write, and it seems that way right now. Nevertheless, I need to write an short update.
We shipped our robot almost 2 weeks ago, and I'm still busier than ever. Mostly with updates and modifications to my websites. I run the site: http://www.firstobjective.org which is a site devoted to seeing a day when every school has a FIRST team.
I also run a sub-site called My Team at http://www.firstobjective.org/myteam. This is a site for FRC teams to help them find their best alliance partners. Last year I compiled a database of statistics from each regional, and I'm doing the same thing again this year. However, over the last week or so I've been able to make this tool available not only to Internet users, but cell phone users that have Internet access.
I'm trying to encourage people to join FIRST Objective by requiring them to join before giving them access to My Team. It hasn't really worked as planned, but I haven't really had the time to properly promote these sites.
Anyhow, our first regional is in 2 weeks and today was the end of the first week of regionals. I watched some exciting new teams on an Internet web-cast today, and I also watched a few upsets too. This is certainly going to be an exciting season. Stay tuned as I hope to post more frequently in the days to come.
