2012 Virginia Regionl

Considering the long standing history of the Virginia regional at VCU, I'm mildly appalled there has not been a thread started yet. So I shall get the ball on the court.

Give a shout out if your coming, wish you could come, or other associated goodness. Team 1610 will be there for their 8th year of competition.

Re: 2012 Virginia Regionl

We would love to come down to Virginia, but because of the new district system, we are unable to. 1676 wishes the best of luck to everyone down there!!

Funding and time permitting, I would definitely come down to the Virginia Regional. For the last two years I have been there, I have had an absolute blast. The way it was run was excellent, there were great people there, and the teams performed phenomenally. I sincerely wish I could come by. Assuming that there is a webcast, I'll certainly be watching the competition.

Shout out to VA!! Always a fun regional. Good luck to everyone!!!
:)

Re: 2012 Virginia Regionl

Team Talon 1598 will be there again this year. We look forward to getting together with 1610 once again -- as well as all the other great teams there.

Well... Team Talon 540 will also be there. I can't wait to see the competition!

Re: 2012 Virginia Regionl

FIRST team 619 will be there, looking forward to the science museum party :D

Re: 2012 Virginia Regional

Anyone know if this will be on the web, or what it would take to make sure it is on the web?

I wrote this up a bit ago, but was reluctant to call for bot reveals since ours will probably not have an official pre-competition reveal. Seeing as this thread has started:

Here's your lineup for THE Virginia Regional coming at you in its traditional Week 3 home (Week 6 last year was so weird...) While one of the longest active and most populous events, it's a bit of an open playing field this year. Two regional champions, and five of the top 10 will not be returning from 2011. The New Jersey Invasion takes on a new form in team 1923, 2009 NJ and 2011 CT Regional Champs. In addition, we will have six rookies and another formidable team: 1699, the 2011 Chesapeake Champs. My favorite part is the crossover between VA in Week 3 and NC in Week 6. Teams 122, 339, 401, 422, 435, 1086, 1598, 2363, and 2890 will be setting up for a "round one" of sorts.

I'll add in team reveals down here as I find them or are posted on this thread/the forum.

Re: 2012 Virginia Regionl

The other thing is the number of teams going to regionals before: 2. (I think is right.)

That means while we're a third week, only two teams are gonna be there with first hand experience of the game.

Competition: Keeps the field more level.
FTA: Means more possible headaches on Practice day.:yikes:

Re: 2012 Virginia Regionl

1885 is looking forward to a very exciting competition at VCU. We've built a bot that will hopefully maintain our prowess at consistent and powerful autonomous routines, so look forward to us starting tele-op with 36 points every match we get compatible partners ;)

We'd also like to find a partner who can help us break the 60-point autonomous barrier. Any takers?

Re: 2012 Virginia Regionl

Blue Cheese is really excited to start off our 10th86 (our 10th year) at the Virginia Regional! The field looks really good this year and we can't wait to hit the field! Pictures and videos of our robot, Blue Yarg (A tribute to our 4 years as The Pirates of the Black Pearl), are available in CD-Media. We're also going to be bringing our practice robot to the Virginia FTC State Championship this weekend and would be happy to take you on a tour of the robot or answer any questions! Blue Cheese can't wait to see everyone in under three weeks!

Sorry, not going to be able to help. You didn't hear this from me, but 122 is working on its 7-point autonomous period.

Can a mod please fix the name of this thread?

Re: 2012 Virginia Regionl

Sadly, Team 1923 will not be able to attend the Virginia Regional this year. We hope that we can have another chance in the future to compete with the awesome teams down there ;) !

Re: 2012 Virginia Regionl

not a whole lot of info on the VA field this year. Guess we will have to wait until next Thursday to see what everyone has got in the bag.

Re: 2012 Virginia Regionl

I'm sorry to say that the link for the robot of 2106 is a sad misconception. It is a render of our original idea, and hopefully the one used in the robot rumble in the fall. Our actual robot is... well... I don't really know for sure. :D I think what we have on the field will be a surprise even to ourselves, we're kinda making it up as we go along right now. Anyway, 2106 will definitely be attending, and we look forward to a good, friendly competition there.
