Considering we have to play the rest of the qualifications, the eliminations, AND have the awards ceremony, AND clean the place up before 2 AM on Saturday... I would say "sounds fun" but no...


CalGames 2002 was my 1st FRC competition. Man have things changed since then. Some of the robots were built entirely of wood. It was pretty much the only off season on the west coast then, so teams came from all over the state.

And there was something else...

AT HALF TIME, EVERYONE DANCED. EVERYONE.

Like the entire field was filled, and the music was insanely loud. I wanna see that again.

Definitely excited. Being a rookie, I was one of the ones cornered into driving for the first time. I saw a team scouting for my match after, looked at their sheet, "***Driver needs training." Ruined my hopes and dreams for drive team..

Anyway, passing this on to coach. !

Are there any updates on CalGames yet? Or have I missed something? Team 3501 plans on attending this year.

On a side note, good luck on your first year of coaching! As driver, I hope to be allianced with 2073 in a few matches. That'd be awesome. 256 is coming back as the best feeder/starver/balancer (proven in Central Valley, and even better here at CalGames). When we're on the field, our alliance will have plenty of basketballs, the opponents nothing to score with, and you can be guaranteed a bridge balance.
