Ok guys, how about we make the food court at the Arden Fair Mall the FIRST "watering hole" - come and hang out, share info, tell war stories, etc...
Every day after pits close, teams can go there and hopefully meet up with others.

the mall closes at 9...doesnt really give everyone a lot of time...anyone else have any suggestions for an informal hangout spot?

Re: Sacramento Regional
 

on friday 1072 and 115 will be having a buffet at Red Lion Hotel, I think i might be able to opent hat up for more teams.

Re: Sacramento Regional
 

So the Radisson is packed. We're actually going to be staying at the Double Tree. :)

Re: Sacramento Regional
 

ok, we've formed an unofficial social event for the Sacramento Regional. (Flyers will be distributed at the Regional) If you'd like, please go to Arden Fair Mall (map etc above and will be in the flyer) and meet in the food court after the pits close on Friday. Plan on chilling, eating, talking, shopping and whatever else floats your boat. The food court is on the second floor of the mall, and more detailed info will be in the flyers. All are welcome!

Jim-Want to get me some nice warm Double Tree cookies? You would be the best ever ;)

We were almost going to stay at the Red Lion Inn, but we found a slightly nicer place for the same price a few weeks ago.

We're heading up in a few hours, seeya all tommorow!

Posting this message directly from the Double Tree hotel in Sacramento ;-). Just want to let everyone knows everything went smoothly at the setup. We were done around 7pm, and the scoring system is going to work for tomorrow! Yay!

Had a great dinner, and a nice gathering with other FIRST staffs. I have a feeling its going to be a cool regional! Can't wait to see you all tomorrow!

High score on Friday - 200 pts (Teams 254 and 945) Two hangers, 10 small balls in stationary goal - capped. Anyone know what the highest score has been so far nationwide?

Re: Sacramento Regional
 

Yours is the highest reported so far, but keep your eye on this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=26431

Re: Sacramento Regional
 

I think that that is the highest score so far, what was the opponents score? that effects the total score and quallification tie breaker point things.

Team 1151
 

Congratulations Hitchikers...team 1151 for winning the Xerox award two years in a row at Sacramento...AND for the Engineering Inspiration award in Portland. This is stellar for any team, but especially for a second year team.

Thanks to 945 and 1120 for bringing us into their alliance. Y'all fought a good fight. Congrats to the poofs and their alliance for yet another outstanding victory.

Also, thank you to 1097 and 'Mr G' (Mr. G...Mr. G...Mr. G) for making the whole event a success.

Eric & team 481

Re: Sacramento Regional
 

Thank you everyone for making the Sacramento Regional Competition a real success. This year had even more energy in the crowds than last year. All of us here in Sacramento hope that every team that competed will return and maybe even add some new teams in the process.

Re: Sacramento Regional
 

Amazingly enough, there was a tie for the #1 seed between 254 and 753. The tiebreaker after that was a coin toss, and the Cheesy Poofs got the number 1 seed.

Sacramento was a very fun regional, and I am glad I was a part of it.
