The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Hey,

I just wanted to know if any teams were going to attend the San Diego Scrimmage, besides the San Diego teams hosting it.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Team 980 will be there!

We are in Atlanta !!!!!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

In case it wasn't obvious in the above post: We are going to San Diego!!! Whooooo! Watch out SD. We comin down from the LC. La Crescenta, Um hmm, 6 motor drive baby! You know it!! 2-speed HELLO! Whoo, we gonna rock the SD!!! Yeeeah!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Is there a list of all the teams currently signed up? That would be great. Thanks. :)

EDIT: Also, will there be a mentor only competition like I hear they have at IRI? Sometimes us non-high school folks like to get a chance on the controls too. (pretty please???).

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

I have sent in a request to my mentor Sanddrag. That's actually a really good idea as it might attract more peopel to come since I'm sure there will be a couple of powerhouses there including yourself.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Team 1138 is going!!!!!!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Alright this is great, from what I've heard so far, we wish to have at least 24 teams for obvious reasons like the elimination matches. San Diego Scrimmage is only 3.5 weeks away, we hope everyone recovers from the official season soon so they can attend. Remember May 20th and 21st is only a coupld of weeks before a lot of graduations; how great would it be to spend some quality time down in San Diego doing the thing that most of us are addicted to; ROBOTICS. Hope to see everyone in San Diego!!!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

YAAY 1138 is coming. 812 just happened to be 2 pits away from Eagle in Souther California and we were right behind you Archimedes.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Where can I get more information about the lock-in? Our team went last year but I'm not sure if we're going this year, if not, I might still be up for a drive down just to participate and help out :)

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

When and Where?

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Here is the current list of teams that have either actually paid or verbally said that they would be in attendance. This list can change at any moment and is not yet official! There's still plenty of room for teams so come on down to San Diego! If you contact me by May 1 about your attendance, you do not have to pay the late fee!!!!


22, 606, 696, 812, 980 (rumored to be bring TWO bots), 1011, 1079, 1138, 1266, 1372, 1527, 1538, 1572, 1613, 1622, 1682

Where are the veteran teams!??!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Right here!
You know now that I think of it, we could bring two robots too! That would be wierd.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

I know our teams REALLY wants to go...
But our crate (and robot) may be expected to arrive as much as 4 weeks from now... :(

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Thanks for the list. After being in this for 5 years now, I would consider 696 a "veteran team" so "right here!" too.

But yes, I'd like to see teams like 968 and 294 on that list too.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Our goal is to top out at 24 teams.. but we only have 16 teams signed up- 8 more teams to go...
Hope to see you guys in sunny San Diego! It's tons of fun.. almost 48 hours of being around people who love robots.. after the season!
22 days and some hours left until the scrimmage..

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Besides my question of "will there be a mentor's only round" I have another question.

Will there be a truck pull or tug of war competition? I think we can win that with this. :D

Even if there ins't an official pulling competition, I still challenge anyone to try to out pull us. Perhaps 2 at a time? Note, I can't speak for the rest of 696 so if they don't want to do it we won't, but I do think they'd be up for a good pull or two

And even beyond pulling, maybe a few of you would like to engage us in a pushing match during actual game play. Maybe even team up on us. No one ever really challenged us into a pushing match at the LA regional (because the mere threat of a 6 motor two speed made them run away :D) but I really would like to get a chance to exhibit the shear power of the HexaMax R2. Mwuhahaha

:)

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Hey David, we'll take you up on that offer. We may not have a 6 motor drive train...but hey, we have a turbo button:D. We never used it at Atlanta during competition, but we tried it tethered out on the practice field there. We were easily pulling off wheelies:D...but we almost broke one of our serial cables. Hopefully, we can unleash its awesome power at San Diego.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Our crate is scheduled for delivery back in San Diego from Atlanta for today! Whew!! Hopefully, every else gets theres back soon as well.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

For whoever is running the event, you should see this http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=37790

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Sorry for so many posts but I have another question. How many matches do we get?

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

YEEEESSSSSS
Our crates back!!!
and it looks like were going!!!!!
Were only sending our drive team and a student coach.....
but still it should be fun!
Cant wait to see everyone there!!!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

WOWZERS... looks like SD is turning out to be the premiere off-season event. Who knows, maybe we'll get a regional here one of these days !?!?!?!

PS: It might a little too late, but make sure you have registered to avoid the late fee

Looking forward to seeing you and everyone else at the event!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

sweet... now i can't wait for San Diego weekend!

by any chance, does anyone in charge have an official list because i'm just curious as to who has registered since the last list was announced.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

I'll have an updated list posted in the next couple of days!

Also, we have not set how many matches each team will get yet. There will be ample match time, but we don't want the situation where you come off the field only to go right back on!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Are there going to be any Mini-Events?
Like Pushing Matches...
Obstacle Course...
One on One matches?
Does anybody know?

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

That's prom for RUHS. Personally, I don't care because I'm not going to prom anyways, but I may have projects to deal with (even my APs are assigning projects in that time period).

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Yep, we will be there..... like Sizzle said. Hmmmmm 980, 696, 22....... this is going to be good!!! However, I don't think we will be doing lock-in.... :)

See you all then!!! We look foward to it!!!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Oh you know it! I wish there could be 4 team alliances so it would be those 3 with 330. Anyway, I hope this time we get to play with some of these great teams in the finals instead of having to go against them. If we go against you, it will be a hard fight for both of us but if we are with you, it will be a clean sweep!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

I agree! If we go against each other in finals, hope 980 and/or 22 isn't with
330.:yikes:
We should see if a four motor drive can beat a six motor in speed and pushing power...

I won't be there due to a prior commitment, but I wish I were!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

What? No lock-in? :ahh: It's really fun... twenty-four hours in San Diego... among so many great FIRST people! Still looks like the scrimmage will be incredible though....
See you in two and a half weeks!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

For whoever is running the event (particularly the matches and sound system) I have the actual audio files that FIRST uses for the matches (starting sound "charge", ending sound "buzzer", and field fault "fog blast") If you want them, let me know.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Here is the current list of teams that will be attending. There are 21 teams, but 980 will be bringing two robots!!!!

22, 330, 597, 606, 696, 812, 980, 1011, 1079, 1135, 1138, 1266, 1372, 1457, 1527, 1538, 1572, 1613, 1622, 1661, 1682

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Can we make a rule that they are never allowed to play on the same alliance? Not to single out 980 but I'm just saying one of them is bad (in a good way) enough. If there are twins now we are in for TOTAL DOMINATION! :D All I can hope for is that we get on that alliance instead of having to go against it. /me is scared

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Two 980s vs. 330 would be highly entertaining.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of interest, we will not be going to San Diego. However, we will be at JPL this weekend for at least one day. Hope to see everybody there!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Dont forget that you would need a whole different drive team to operate the second robot...
Still would be cool to see them on the same alliance :D

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

So uh...
Anyone know how many matches are going on?
Or if any new teams registered?

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

While we appreciate the confidence you have in us, I would like to point out that of the 4 operators on the 2 drive teams, only 1 is an experienced operator, and he won't be in his normal role.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Do we have results yet?

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Yes. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=38267

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Hey guys, I'm missing a silver and black xbox controller from the lock-in. If you find it please email me at chaoticprout@gmail.com or PM me. Thanks

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

The lock-in was entertaining at first. I was sleeping near the door in the gym. If you were at the kareoke (i can't spell that) and you walked into the gym at the nearest door, i was sleeping right there witht the rest of our team. i sorta slept, but the kareoke was horrible, at like 3 in the morning some chick was singing and she sounded drunk. regardless, the competition was great. i was on team 1457(16 as their numbers went), and we came 6th during the qualifying. and no, i don't know about a silver xbox controller, sorry.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

The kareoke sounds fun. What songs did they have?

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Team San Diego would like to thank all of the teams that came out for the SD Battle at the Border! We hope to see you all (and more!) teams next year.

Please feel free to give me your constructive advice on how the event can be even better next year!

We still have Team San Diego Battle at the Border T-Shirts on sale for $6. Get them while they last!!!!!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

I would gladly pay an increase in registration fee if there were some large industrial fans as each door of the gym. It was so incredibly hot in there, must have been 90+. I think the only reason I wouldn't want to go again is that the heat was unbearable. Also, I think the cold sodas ran out before the end of the day, so next year maybe plan on more. The big projector screen was great, but it was so dim that it kind of defeated the purpose of having it so big. I stood right in front of it and couldn't read the rankings, so maybe next year a smaller but brighter screen would be better. Sounds for start of match, end of auto, and end of match would be good. The field was pretty good, but if there were a couple safety issues with the lack of pressure pads and side lexan panels.

Overall, it was a good event and I hope more teams attend next year!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Last year, DDR was the popular thing.. this year, it was karaoke.. We had odd songs- anyone could sing.. we just had a great time laughing and doing whatever.. Any new activity suggestions are welcome.
Anyways, thanks for all the constructive criticism.. please add if necessary.. :D
Hope everyone had a great time, and see you next year!

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Bohemian Rhapsody got really really old. Really Really fast.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Yeah the Kareoke got annoying...especially at three in the morning. And yeah, I was by the door sleeping right next to crazybeans, I'm the only girl on the team (The Barbarians, Team 1457) so you might have noticed. I'm not sure.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Maybe next year I'll have to come down there Friday and show those clowns what some real singing sounds like! Actually, I'd rather MC or announce. Can I? It'll be good, I promise.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

The three who sang the national anthem were good, though. I have to give them some recognition.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Yes, yes they were.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Hey, if anyone has picturesfrom the event, they should post them in the gallery. As soon as I get a hold of the ones that we took while we were there I'll be sure to post 'em.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Yeah, like me and her know people took pictures of us on a couch outside the next morning. i want to see that picture.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Yeah, we were asleep along with my brother and apparently people kept coming up to us and took several pictures of us whilst we were napping. It'd be interesting to see.

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Does anyone happen to have any pictures of the Lock-in and/or scrimmage? Or know of someone who does?

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

lol just saw this tee-hee 330, 22 and 1266 :P

Re: The San Diego Lock-in and Scrimmage
 

Come on...anyone?
