02 March 2013- Myrtle Beach- Regional HS Robotics Competition
The event was epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The CG'r that trooped:
Larry Press - Biker Scout
Gene Peacock - Tusken
Greg French - Sandtrooper
Brad Lee - Reserve Pilot
Tom Gardner - Stormtrooper
R2KT - Droid
We had so much fun. There were over 4000 spectators that does not count the robotic teams and volunteers........
The kids are extremely intelligent ( The type that could one day make warp drive and lightsabers reality) Plus they knew how to party!!!! I wish you all could have been there.......
Thank you all that trooped this, the crowd was nuts over us and Miss R2KT!!!! Hope more will do this next time cause they want us back annually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Side note: We told in almost $200 for St. Jude via the R2KT/Dr Who patches. Special Kudos to Gene and Larry on this...... More info on the this patches: http://r2kt.com/
I also have to tell you that when we were taking Miss R2KT out to load her up in the van, a little girl came running out to R2KT. The little girl was crying, she did not want KT to leave.
We told her that R2KT would be back and that we would be doing other events with her in the area. Plus I told her Grandfather about R2KT.com. The little girl gave Miss KT a hug and said bye......... (almost made me cry.)
Long troop, tons of fun (as big a any con) We got modded (some points you could not walk)....
Here are some highlights (click on pic to enlarge)
Me warming R2KT up at 7am in the locker room......

The CG'rs in the Robotics pit, getting ready to soup up Miss KT:
The arena:
just a small part of the bleachers (like I said there where over 4000 spectators)
One of the team's good luck charm is the Wookie backpack (the put it on their robotic to give it good luck, they did the same for R2KT)
one of team's mascots dancing with us.

Arresting some of the crowd:
Arresting on of the mascots....man check the mini bionic kid running LOL...
With some of the crowd dressing up and mascots, it is starting to look likea mini Dragon con:
