The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I just heard from a team member in the upstate, who was told by his mentor that the Palmetto regional might be moving to Myrtle Beach this year? I don't know if anyone who's connected to Palmetto Partners uses CD, but I'd just like to hear the SC's team's thoughts on this.
1. No engineering schools in Myrtle that I can think of off hand.
2. I was told this is because the Canadians wanted a beach competition....
that can't be it....
3. Tourism?
4. it's just a rumor and since no official event location is on the first website so I should just shut up.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location *Rumour*
 

....http://www.myrtlebeachconventioncenter.com/calendar.php
oh but I just confirmed it. Scroll to Feb/March 2013.
Thanks to the rumor competition schedule posts.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location *Rumour*
 

The way I heard the story was that Myrtle Beach was willing to give the regional the convention center for free.

I have a personal preference for holding events in arenas--convention centers don't quite have the same feel--but you can bet that we'll be down there going for the threepeat!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Straight from a member of the Palmetto Planning Committee, I heard that while the original contract with the N. Charleston Coliseum was for 3 years, next year's dates conflict with an SC Stingrays hockey game. The game(s), against the Florida Everblades is (are) typically well attended and the hockey team wouldn't budge. Plan B was to shift to Myrtle Beach for 2013. Plans (so far) are to return to N. Charleston in 2014.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location *Rumour*
 

I see, hmm well it should be interesting.

I much rather like arenas than convention centers as well, however I've seen some convention centers that are arenas. So I have no idea what the Myrtle Beach convention center looks like...

Are you guys going to break the Omaha luck USC had?
I'm not speculating anything anymore considering a week one competition unnerves me a bit in whether or not we'll be at our "A" game.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

The way I heard it, every city that has hosted the Palmetto Regional (what does this make, 6?) has asked the South Carolina teams politely not to come back so they have to keep moving :D

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

We're sure as heck gonna try! Our first-regional-of-the-year streak is hit or miss:

2009: Bayou (Semis, Rookie Inspiration)
2010: Bayou (No elims, J&J GP)
2011: Peachtree (Champions)
2012: Peachtree (Quarters)

The only time we really fell on our face at our first event was 2010 at Bayou; that was rough. 2011 saw us get better all of a sudden at eliminations (even I don't know how all the issues just stopped), and 2012 was surprisingly steady past a stupid first-match sit-out for bumpers (no comment :o ).

Myrtle Beach will be four (Columbia 2004-2007, Clemson 2008-2010, North Charleston 2011-2012).

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

wasn't there a regional pre-2004?

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Not in South Carolina. (Peachtree started in 2003.)

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I only ask because 1102 has been around since 2001, I've never actually asked someone where our original regionals were held.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Not quite. (2003 was the first year for four-digit team numbers...and it's not too far below 1293, which started in 2004.)

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

If palmetto is confirmed for the Week 1 , 1772 is happy to go back to South Caroline in 2013!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

1102 History says the team won Rookie All-Star in 2003 as Billfred indicated.
They began making their mark at the Peachtree Regional.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

So as it seems I know nothing in terms of years.
Oh well. I gave it a guess.
I forgot to check the website before posting.

PS, 1772 we always want you guys back here in SC!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

So looking at the regional list, I see some of the usual suspects and some returning and new-to-Palmetto teams:

346 (Last attended in 2007 in Columbia)
401 (Never attended before)
538 (Last attended in 2010 in Clemson, plus '07)
1598 (Never attended before)
2363 (Last attended in 2011 in Charleston, and they won it)
3959 (Never attended before)

Also on the list: 1102, 1293, and 1398 are the only ones to have signed up for all ten Palmetto Regionals. There are more teams that could join them, but they haven't yet. ;)

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Rumor has it, we might be coming back to the Palmetto Regional :D

Would be our first time at a week 1 event.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

For those teams that compete in FTC, I would like to point out that the planning committee at SC State University scheduled the FTC competition on the same day as the FRC competition.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

It's just tentative, but the plan is for 1648 to make our way to Palmetto for week 1. Ought to be good.

- Sunny G.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Well, looks like we were able to grab a spot in the scramble for 2nd events.

Additionally, just noticed that 1398 is back. Hopefully they return the same way they went out.

- Sunny G.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

587 is going to Palmetto this year. We managed to grab a slot in the two minutes before it filled up.

I didn't see 2059 or 2640 on the list so a repeat of SCRIW II can't happen.

This is going to be fun.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

1772 is Back!!

the Brazilian/South Carolina team is happy to see old friends!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Hey....

Anyone know what happened to 343 or did they morf into team 4452?

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

According to their website they're still around (or were a few weeks ago). Looks like some overlap in territory between the 2 teams though.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

There was a lot of disruption of the Spark team (2751) over the off season. I think 4452 is an outgrowth of that.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Don't call it a comeback; they've been here for years.

I don't know what's going on with 343; I can only hope they're stuck on the Peachtree waitlist since it filled up during initial event registration. With the Myrtle Beach move, that's almost more their "home" regional than Palmetto is.

Without going into gory details, I've heard similar tales about 2751 and it seems likely they'll be inactive this year. 4452 does contain some ex-2751 people, though apparently not enough to prevent them from claiming rookie status. And they had their act together enough to attend SCRIW and reach alliance captain (and pick us after picking 1398), so there's that.

Also, for those of you that don't know, 88 (TJ^2 from Bridgewater, Massachusetts) registered today for Palmetto. I remember them fondly from when 1618 went to Chesapeake in 2008, but: Buy ear plugs. Lots of them.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I hope 343 gets in...but i don't even think they are registered in TIMS....Same thing with 388 here in Va. Well we had to sit out a year,(2009) but came back.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

If a team is only on waitlists, they don't show on the site publicly.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Ah, I thought they took a hiatus. Well, this ought to be excellent. I heard there are some more good teams waiting for a couple more spots.

- Sunny G.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I have heard at least one team number lower than 88 is on the waitlist. No word on what true capacity is in the new venue, though.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Looks like they have made it into Palmetto.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

And they brought company! 52 is the largest Palmetto's ever been in its ten-year history. (Behind that was the 2006 event in Columbia at 48, which included some out-of-staters you might've heard of: 11, 16, 68, 108, 180, 247, 337, 818, 1251, 1676...)

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

We had to sign up for South Florida first for our second regional, so we are not sure that will make it into Palmetto once we can sign up for a 3rd event.

Palmetto 05-08 brings back good memories. :D

We are so thrilled that we get to head south and join in the fun at the Palmetto Regional! This will be our first trip to this exciting regional event! I look forward to seeing many of our friends who have traveled up to our northern regionals, as well as meeting many new friends! I was so happy we got one of the 12 open slots that filled up in that first minute!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Can any locals provide the out-of-town teams a quick list of things to do or places to eat that can handle groups in the Myrtle Beach area, specifically within walking distance of the Convention Center? I'm just as good as using Google as anyone else, but its hard to know what will be open at the beach in February/March...

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Myrtle Beach is no longer a seasonal town. When I was your age you could take a nap in the middle of the street in the off season. They roll year round and there is not really an off season anymore.

The Convention Center is at the corner of 21st and Oak. If you walk east toward the ocean on 21st, then when you get to 17 business, you can go north or south and walk to any number of restaurants for lunch.

If you get out and drive up or down 17, then you can get to more places faster. I'd suggest going to 21st and 17 and go north/south and scout out the restaurants.and there is plenty to eat. If you cruise 17 between 10th and 30th or so there are plenty of places you can drive to in about 2 minutes.

If you go west on 21st toward 17 bypass, then it will take you to Hard Rock and other restaurants at Broadway at the Beach. Save that trip for the evening.

For lunch, I'd go up/down 17 business, near the ocean. It will be much faster.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I must be losing my mind. This thing says 61 teams registered.
That means South Carolina not only has the largest regional it's ever had. It's going to be the largest week 1 regional.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Alot of people are willing to take the risk of a week 1 event looks like. That or they really want to beta test the field. :P

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Or they just want to go to the beach. :cool:

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

So far Palmetto (61 teams) is the biggest regional until the week three Virginia regional (62 teams). I'd think the Atlantic Ocean just south of the mid atlantic area would be a bit cold in February. As long as the wind isn't blowing it should
still be nice. (I remember it snowing a little at the Nasa/VCU regional now known
as the Virginia regional in 2005)

Happy to see you too! #1758 XD

Wat? o. O

You will quickly find that it is really easy just to look out the window and find anything and whatever you need. Just make some local friends or ask around to where every one is going then tag along .If you've never been to myrtle beach there is a lot of fun things to do and see. Very touristy town but quickly growing. #FRC1758

I for one am excite for how close the regional is to us this year. Living in Florence which is only (exaggerating) 20 min away we may not even have to rent hotels. (Of course we will though). This is a very interesting thing though. With its closeness it may help our case for having a regional in Florence. The Florence civic center is massive with hotels and shopping surrounding it right next to the exit from the highway from 95 coming into Florence. Best of all we would be the host Team 1758. We have a mechatronics lab that we can help get things from and Otis an elevator company has just established itself on the other side of town. I pass it every day on the way to school laughing at the enormity of the elevator silo. I am very excited for South Carolina's recognition in technology with commercials like connect a million minds (supported by Will.i.am). I can't wait to make new friends and compete as the New Captain of FRC Team 1758. Also, anyone heard about new orleans?

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

This will be team 3824's first time at the Palmetto Regional. We have gone to Peachtree and Smoky Mountain in the past, so it should be nice to see some new faces!

This wasn't our reason for going, but it is quite a bonus! :D

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

The first quote I responded to was addressing the idea that 1398 had gone inactive. They've dialed back to one event the past few years, but they're still very much active. (They're hosting Columbia's FLL regional in a couple of weeks.)

As for the second: TJ^2 is always a lively group, and likely to give 1398 a run for their money as The Loudest Team In The Arena for most of the event if past years are any indication. As such, hearing protection is a good idea. :)

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Looking forward to attending a new regional, in a new location! 2914 and 1915 will be traveling down from DC looking for a good time at the beach!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Well that's a bummer.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Well, there'll be quite a few old faces as well.

- Sunny G.

All of us old faces. Indeed.
I'm thinking this might be the year that 1102 comes up with a pit design that utilizes our extreme excess of 80/20.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

HELLOOOoooooo from the North East :yikes:
John at 1102 M'Aiken Magic,back at your teams 1102 first kickoff held in NH 2001 (I think)I worked with your menter Pat (last name ????). He might be incharge of your HS now????. I helped to get your team started with there FIRST year. Showed him all about the gears,elec, etc. If he is still around tell him a BIG HELLOOoooo from OLD MOE from team 88 TJ2. My team will be at the Palmetto Reg. for the first time this year. Good luck to all of the teams. FROM Team 88 TJ2 and MOE::rtm::

Pat O'Neil is no longer involved with the program. As far as I'm aware he no longer lives in Aiken. Our mentor that still remain from the original season, Clyde Ward might remember you. Glad to see your teams are making the trip down to the SCPR!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

While you are getting ready to go to Myrtle Beach you should track a Great White Shark called "Mary Lee".

Mary Lee was tagged with a satellite GPS location transmitter near Cape Cod.

You can go to the following site and tell it you want to track Mary Lee and look at her track for the last year or so.

She seems to be persistent in hanging out in that area, obviously waiting for FRC teams to show up for dinner.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Thank you, Ed, for simplifying my dealings with rowdy students. ;)

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

How's the build going for everyone?

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

HELLOOOooooo from the North East::ouch::
Great to see that some want to know how things are going. TJ2 is comming along we will be ready and looken forward to the REG. Hope all are well
seeee yaaaaa soooooon oh yeah ?????? OH YEAH !!!!
TYE-DYE for ever
MOE ::rtm::

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Coming along nicely, we're moving on to prototype 3.0 for our shooter, our chassis is being assembled, and we're seriously looking at our intake system. We're looking to be ready to roll for the week 1 event.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Chassis is largely together, CAD is underway for our shooter gearbox (yeah, we're dipping our toes back into the waters of custom gearboxes), superstructure and hopper are coming together on paper with metal coming tomorrow.

And yes, we have some name ideas too. ;)

If it has the word "$@#$@#$@#$@#" in it. You're good right? Because your robot names and USC are the only time where it can feel at home.

We have our drive base and hopper complete, were working on shooter prototypes still as well. As well as our vision system coding.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

YEP::ouch:: things are great getting cold up here but thats when TJ heats up.OH YEAH TJ2 might look different this time around????. But don't worry -- TYE-DYE will be in full view.
KEEP going forward good luck Seeeeeeee Yaaaaaaa Soooooooon
for those who have them keep your SOCKS on.
OH YEAH !!!!!! TYE-DYE forever.......
MOE::rtm::

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Are any of us Full-Court shooters?

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I know of a team around here that had it in the plan at one point, though I think they've gotten off that.

We've been ambitious this year with some elements of our design, and with that comes a learning curve. I know we've taken some 20-plus-footers in testing...though we also just ripped apart our superstructure today for another rework since some things weren't quite right.

Just remember what happened the last time a Gamecock encountered a measurement gone afoul...

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

All will be revealed in due time. :)

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Basically.
Me asking that question is a hint itself.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

HELLOOooooo from the North East :D
We have had elec. problems at school:ahh: after the snow of 22+ in. Now more on WED-THUR ???? oh well :cool: But we will get TJ2 finished or is it done NOW??!! :yikes:
We will be ready for Palmetto or should I say is Palmetto ready to see Team 88 TJ2 for the FIRST time ever in liven color !!!! TYE-DYE -- oh yeah????
OH YEAH !!!!
MOE and Team 88 TJ2::rtm::

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I think someone should give us a cookie or something, we have the most viewed regional thread in this section. :O

Here's an exciting update, we managed to get our non-pneumatic vacuum system working yesterday! Floor pickup land, here we come!
Today hopefully we will get our 10 point climbing method working.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

By the way, if you haven't looked again....We're at 65 teams total.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Yup, it's going to be a full house. I'm expecting AT MOST 9 qualification matches per team. There's just no way, with the complicated field reset, and the massive amount of teams, that we'll get in 10 matches per team. It might go down to 8, who knows?

Palmetto Regional Harlem Shake video?

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Oh boy, I hope not.

We have to make it robotics related. You bring the inflatable robot dinosaurs and I'll bring the giant wizard hats.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Don't forget the space shuttles.

Is anyone intending to hit the 281 scrimmage today? We're still working on ours (yes, that's four years out of five), but I'm sure there will be some interesting stories coming out of there...

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

HELLOOOooo from the north east :D
Hope that all of the teams are READY for next week because TJ2 is on the move south... Get some warm weather for us, Team 88 will see ya in 7 days.
TYE-DYE oh yeah ???? OH YEAH !!!!
TYE DYE for ever MOE::rtm::

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Looks like Flash 1319 has a 30 point climber and full court shooter!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Our first test to see whether the full court shooter is inherently a good approach or not.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I'm personally very much looking forward to visiting South Carolina for the first time, renewing friendships with some familiar teams and meeting lots of new members of the FIRST family.
Due to time lost from the winter storm we weren't able to make our usual Week 0 scrimmage at Suffield this year, so Palmetto will also be our first look at a real field and to see how the game is actually played.

All that and live shark tracking!

Just 8 days to go...

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

We have the capability but it by no means is our strategy.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

sorry, the post above that one made me think that was your strategy. Your robot looks amazing by the way!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

No worries, thanks for the compliment. Where are all the other pics of the palmetto bots. I believe this could be the most competitive Palmetto regional to date, of course that is only fitting since this will be the 10th year for the event.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Our bot is under the poncho until the event, mainly because we couldn't get any good snapshots of the painted competition bot with everything on it, but our practice bot is running and being tuned as I speak. Bring on the competition.....

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

We'll be releasing the "buzz" video on this year's bot this weekend. I'll make sure we link it to this thread. We're very excited to be headed that way next Wednesday and looking forward to the competition!

Go 'Bees!

Steve

As for 1102. Our team is finishing out our vacuum floor pickup arm to get ready for a possible 6 disk auto by some point in quals. We unfortunately didn't have time to put our 10 point hanging system into effect, but we're confident in our ability without it.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

10 point hang is easy. We assembled ours in ~3 hours this weekend because our 30pt climb isn't up to snuff yet. I'd be happy to help your team assemble one in the pits if you need help!

I believe (don't quote me on this) that 11 will be bringing a couple ready-to-assemble passive 10 pt hang mechanisms in case one of our elimination alliance partners is without.

I'm looking forward to seeing how many teams can pick up frisbees - we're human fed only and would do well with teams that can floor load.

How much does the mechanism weigh?

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

A passive hang can be made for under 5lb.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

For any interested in sending out links to team members and family members that will not be attending the regional. The Palmetto Regional's website has a link on the home page to where the event will be live streamed.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Our bus has been confirmed! Whoo-hoo! 2914 and 1915 are sharing a charter down from DC and will arrive late Wednesday night. See you all there!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

By the end of it you'll be saying "y'all" :)

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Well I figure I'll start this out for this season.
Pictures or videos it doesn't matter.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I'll get pictures of the practice bot by tomorrow, and perhaps video.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

2059 has gone for an offensive bot, with a accuracy of 4 discs in the 3pt goal from 30ft away in under 4seconds, extremely consistent. We've also got a fast 10pt climb at the end. Here's a CAD rendering of the bot -- my very first time attempting a build of this size, so I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Look for an official release video soon.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

Updated with 1648's beauty shot. The comp. bot is definitely a lot hotter.

We're still tuning things, but the basic gist of things is 10 point hanger plus your run of the mill feeder + shooter.

Okay...Now you need to come see me with that one.
That would work. I'm going to guess you're using quarter inch lexan for it aren't you...

Some nice 3/8" wood (or 1/2", not sure) with standoffs. It's surprisingly light, but after a competition's worth of hangs, it's starting to wear.

Hmm. I'll make sure we bring some wood with us then, and some 1/4" Lexan. Just for fun. I'll be coming by to check it out for sure.

I've been holding off on releasing anything to give the multimedia team time to finish the robot release video. They are running a bit behind.

Good luck everyone!

We are looking to come to Palmetto and NC in 2014, hoping itll be back to back events.

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

I'll have to see if I can find any of the old 1618ers--they loved you guys at Chesapeake back in 2008. And I know we'd love to have you in 2014!

Re: The Palmetto Regional's New Location
 

The Brazilian Trailblazers (1772) were with us at our meeting tonight in Aiken and I know they are ready to go!! I've seen videos of their robot and it is pretty impressive!

MORT is shipping out at 3am in the morning.

I'll be watching eagerly from home!
