our alliance partner 3284 made this great video with many highlights from the st.louis regional.

FIRST Robotics St Louis 2010 from Jacob Addotta on Vimeo.

We did it! Saturday March 20th, 2010 team 2775 won the St. Louis regional competition. We were ranked 3rd going into the alliance selection and were chosen by the #1 alliance. We went on through the eliminations with some tough matchups but were able to secure our gold metal in a touch match with a 1 point victory.

Special thanks to our alliance partners 1208 and 3284, we could not have done it without you!!

This win secures us an invite to the world championship next month. In order to attend we will have to work hard to raise the funds to attend. The registration for the event is $5000 and travel will probably be another $5000.

If you or anyone you know of would like to support our team please email or call Greg Needel

Team: We will be meeting Monday at 6pm to figure out plans for the championship.

The reason for invite only meetings is that it will only be Mrs. Stone there and the things that are going to be worked on have been assigned. There are lots of things to do but we need people on task and not just showing up to hang out. If you think you should be there for those meetings please see the paragraph below.

Invites: if you are on the drive team, Presentation team, or leading scouting consider yourself invited.  If you would like to come and have an exact plan of what you are going to be working on than please see myself (Greg) Prior to wed.

We need to make some stuff in the shop tonight and so there won’t be a meeting tonight. See you all on thursday.
