In order

Re: 2013 Central Valley Regional
 

I expect some slow starts in the first matches as teams get used to driving their robots and competing for the first time. Then as qualifications wear on I expect the competition to ramp up significantly. I'm talking autonomous scoring, some hanging above the first bar, and some of the better matches having scores at or above 100. I know the potential in these Cali teams and I want to see it shine brightly in week 1. I hope everyone has fun and plays hard. See you at CVR. :D

Really bummed we couldn't make it schedule-wise to CVR this year...it was the highlight of our season last year. I'm really hoping for a live stream, if anyone is aware of a link please post!

Predictions? Hopes? Wishes? Thoughts, anybody?

As usual, 1323, 1678, 973, 1671, 3256 will all bring-on the competition. And no doubt that these teams will be in the top 8 (most probably in the top 4). I hope for a CVR as intense as the first one is.

With borrowed hand tools, a jig saw, lots of sweat and the awesomeness of teams 254, 604, 1868 Rookie Team 4543 The Illuminator's from Apollo High School San Jose is beyond excited to be attending the CVR.

We have a solid kit bot on steroids based robot. 6 wheel, 4 CIM, timing belt driven with Victor speed controllers. A working gyro controlled autonomous, pneumatic floor pick up scoop, dumping hopper with a guaranteed last second 10 point hang. The drive team is well coached and practiced.

See you in a few days
