Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

This season, we built the robot in CAD prior to construction. In the past, we never did a complete model. Although we felt like we were getting behind in the construction of the physical robot, the model proved to actually give us a little more time than expected. Things fit, drawings were exact, and we had little changes to adapt to.

Other than autonomous, our robot was first fully working on Saturday Feb 12. Since then, there have been much testing, practice, and refining of components in addition to making spare parts and taking off a little bit of weight (well, we can't be perfect).

We look forwards to showing off our robot in Rochester soon!

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

639 will battle rain, snow, sleet, ice, falling tetras, and other robots to make the two hour drive on Rochester.

But seriously, I hope the weather doesn't deter any teams. Good luck to everyone travelling to a regional event. See you in four days.

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

I just got finished up with the second stage dying my hair, ehh.. better than sometimes, worse than others... but all in all, its in the spirit of the competition! :D

I can't wait to get myself back into the full swing of competition! I've got a long three days ahead of me filled with classes, packing for not only the Rochester Regional, but also the Pittsburgh Regional and Spring Break. I leave Lehman Wednesday night for the drive home to catch the team bus bright and early Thursday morning!!!!!! :yikes:

Can't wait to see you all there! Good Luck!!! :]

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

This will be my 1st of 6 followed by Pittsburgh, Detroit, Waterloo, GTR and Championships. I can't wait to get started. I sure hope the weather gets better cause coming from Toronto can be a bad drive in bad weather. Wishing everyone a great season and if you see me at an event say HI. I don't think that you could miss me if you tried. :D

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

although coming from us, you may want to miss him, even if you dont want to try ;)

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

Are you comming up to MC?

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

I will be announcing. I believe that "The Voice of FIRST" will be the MC. For those that are not sure who that is, Blair was announcing the mock game at kick-off.

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

Will any team or RIT group be broadcasting the regional as a webcast?

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

I was in Rochester Last week and got a chance to check out the field house. Does anyone know where/what the pit setup will be/look like? :confused: Possibly like SBPLI last year?

Thanks,

Re: 2005 Rochester Regional @ R.I.T
 

I'm not sure what SBPLI looked like so I can't comment on that. I know that the built in seats will be used on one side of the field and bleachers will be brought in for the other half. The pit setup will be behind a curtain on one half of the field house. There will also be an internet "oasis" available. I can't comment on the exact pit setup.

Thanks alot, that's pretty much how SBPLI was except the pits were behind the bleachers. I'll see everybody there and good luck.

Thanks again,
