Re: 2005 Sacramento/UC Davis Regional
 
As noted above, 1388 is coming back to Sacramento. I'm not sure why so many teams are coming from out of state to attend. Sac'to is not exactly my favorite part of this state, and I don't see it as being much of a tourist attraction, compared to LA or the Bay Area. That aside, it's gonna be a sweet regional. Here's to hoping that the last four spots are filled.

Well, since we have now gotten ourselves registered for the Championship, Wildstang will not be attending the Sacramento regional. I know a lot of us are disappointed that we won't be able to go to California as we were looking forward to competing with a lot of teams that we don't get to see very often (or ever), but we couldn't pass up the chance to go to the Championship...

Maybe next year!

Well, that's sad for us Bay Area teams.

Who knows, maybe we'll be in the same division in Atlanta!

Either way, good luck and have fun!

Not up for a fourth competition? :rolleyes:

I would love if my team could travel somewhere outside of the midwest region for a regional (But in the end, the championships cover all of the required travel time I demand from the team :D ) We will did a third regional this year, even though the original reason for it- getting a chance to win ourselves to the championships, is no longer existant because the gates have been opened to tier 1. But traveling is always fun (3 day bus ride to Cali?), and hopefully we'll be able to scrounge up cash for some travel. Good luck to all the teams competing- will there be videos of the matches posted online somewhere this year?

Jim Elliot Christian High School, welcome to FIRST! Jim Elliot is a small school in Galt, CA which have just a few but very enthused students and a dedicated mentor, Mike Akahori, from UC Davis Dept of Engineering.

If all goes well, we will see yet one more rookie team at the Sac Regional Competition. Davis High School is scrambling to get off the ground - I will meet with them tomorrow to help them out.

We now also have team 1671 from Clovis, CA. That's the same town as team 1422. So they'll probably be pretty cool rookies.

Davis High School is now onboard! Welcome to all the new rookies!

Hey, we're team 599 and we'll, once again, be atending the sacramento regional this year :)

2 questions-

1. Is anyone hosting any sort of party/activity on Thursday or Friday night?

2. Has anyone booked a reasonably priced hotel somewhere near the vicinity of UC Davis, and would like to share?

Thanks in advance.

I have attended sacramento regional since it was launched 2 years ago. It has been an extremly exciting regional in my opinion. I was with MVRT 115 when i attended and it usually was our first regional. Im my opionion it is an extreamly tough regional, since its the first regional event and lots of good teams compete in it. The crowd is also crazy:) sadly i will miss the regional this year.

Same here. Sacramento was tons of fun the last 2 years. I'll definitely miss it this year.

As to the hotels, I stayed in Davis one night last year, and I can't remember the name of the hotel, but it was directly opposite the movie theatre in downtown Davis. Hopefully a local can name the place. I remember it being the cheapest we found in the city and it was pretty decent

We just got an information packet from team 1097 with some really useful information such as nearby hotels and tons of places to get food at.

Thanks to Jesuit for being so awesomely GP and sharing this information. I really didn't want to find a hotel myself. :D
