L.A. is 330's home regional. And I am pretty sure it's at the Forum again.

Beach Bots! I remember you guys! :p Cool, It's usually the same teams anyway. I was just afraid they were going to go back to that southern california east stadium like 2004. Small place... :(

Re: 2006 Southern California Regionals!
 

Yes, it is at the Great Western Forum. My teams 294 and 812 will both be there. I'll be working the regional Friday and Saturday I believe.

Hey if anyone is bringing there PSP's tell me. We can vs. when we are waiting or not doing anything (rare).

Re: 2006 Southern California Regionals!
 

TEAM 4


will be there! =]

Re: 2006 Southern California Regionals!
 

696 has gone to the preship every year so far, but in order to go this year, we'll need to be gauranteed a running field before 10:30AM and at least 3 full matches with no radio problems. If someone can make this gaurantee, we'll probably go. :)

The Chattsworth pre-game is always a good place to test. :)

Re: 2006 Southern California Regionals!
 

I preffer seeing what were up against ;)

80% that 702 will be there.

Hope it doesnt rain this year at Chatsworth

Re: 2006 Southern California Regionals!
 

Actually the Pre-Ship Scrimmage will be at Birmingham High this year. After a couple of years of being a joint team, Team 22 has split into Team 22, Chatsworth, and Team 4 High Tech High. Team 4 will host the Scrimmage as the field is stored there. High Tech High uses the Birmingham Gym. For most teams Birmingham is also closer than Chatsworth.

It will be held on Sunday so we can spend Saturday getting the field up and running. We currently have five engineers of various types working on upgrading the field control system, I am one of them. One way or another we will get matches in.

However, if teams are prepared and know how to do little things like set channels manually and change their team number it will help tremendously. In fact I would like to set up a "channel check" station in the queing line so that we can be sure channels are set correctly before teams get to the field. This will help the flow a lot. Any volunteers for this critical position?


We won't start competitive matches until about 10am so San Diego teams can get there. However, the field will probably open for practice earlier than that. Practice will be first come - first served with a free ticket to the front your first time through. We are also considering where to set up a "shooting range" and other field elements so teams can test without having to be on the field. These extra features depend on the space available and the weather.

Our goal is to run matches on a seven minute cycle (regionals run at five minutes). On this schedule everybody should get at least a match per hour. Since not all robots will be ready for their matches, (remember this is a scrimmage not a competition, so we will be flexible on match scheduling) teams that are ready to run when they get there can expect more matches
