I did not find the suspense as exciting since I was on the field! With the real time scoring being not always 100%, the time between when you thought you won and the screen came up was really intense! :ahh:

Re: 2006 Philadelphia Regional
 

Congrats to 291 and 306! You both turned out fabulous robots at Pittsburgh, and deserved to pick up a ticket to Atlanta. Also, congrats to 177 on their second regional win.

I was giving out some volunteer pins at the desk in the main lobby. I guess not enough veteran volunteers and mentors knew to come to the desk to receive theirs, and perhaps an announcement should be made in the pits and on the field to let them know. They definitely deserve the recognition.

This was my first year volunteering at Philly and I really got to see just how hard working every one is. I must extend special thanks and congratulations for their diligent work and a job well done to Carol K, Rich Kressley, and Maureen Weiss. These three among countless others are true FIRST heroes and a pleasure to work with. These people help make the Philly regional known as one of the most friendly and fun-filled FIRST competitions around. Way to go!

I've said it before, and I will say it again, the Philly regional is one I will never miss. So, see ya next year!

Re: 2006 Philadelphia Regional
 

was there a closing video like last year?

if so, can i download it yet.

Re: 2006 Philadelphia Regional
 

Thank you very much for that kind compliment. I believe that i did the best that I could with the driving and well you know sometimes things just dont turn out the way you hoped. However we'll be at championships this year guys and you can expect us to keep up that defense!!!! :cool:

Attention all Philly Regional Teams

What did you think of the new Concept of ERV, Eastern Robotic Vikings?

I can't wait for the Champs!

Re: 2006 Philadelphia Regional
 

Congratulations to all of the wonderful teams that attended The Philly regional.
We would like to thank teams 291 and 177 for choosing us as there alliance partners. All the teams in Philly did a great job. We hope to be teamed with some of you in Atlanta! Good luck and have fun! :)

Re: 2006 Philadelphia Regional
 

Could you please be a little less vague with that question?

Re: 2006 Philadelphia Regional
 

No. Jake Warren, who did the closing video last year, is now mentoring a team (I think 563 - Jake, is that correct?) so he couldn't volunteer as a videographer this year.

Re: 2006 Philadelphia Regional
 

However, the SOAP archives should have all of the matches, and some other significant events on their website soon enough.

Re: 2006 Philadelphia Regional
 

Judging from their other regional coverage...it looks like they'll have all the matches, the elimination matches, and the awards ceremony on saturday...as to when they'll be up only time will tell I guess.

Re: 2006 Philadelphia Regional
 

Great event... Chiniqua, thank you again for pumping the crowd up; having that much energy out there for us to "feed" off of definetly helped us in our (successful) quest for the Spirit Award.

Now, for more serious buisness; our videographer was untrained and our photographer (me) is also our programmer and was busy re-writing our programs since the IT people at our school deleted them and crippled our programming laptop on wedensday before the regional (I also lost my thumbdrive with the backup...). This means we have a distinctly lower amount of video and pictures of our robot and our cheering section than we would like; if anyone has images or video of us or our robot, please email me at dilloncompton@masteryrobotics.org or despoticdreamer@gmail.com and let me know; it would be of great help in putting together our promo packet (We are team 1394; On friday we were in the back left of the Gym with about 100 people, cheerleaders, and signs. On friday we had the big blue streamers on poles. The robot was extruded aluminum and covered in net with relatively prominent numbers.) Since most of these digital image formats tend to be large I can either get you to FTP it to our webspace, email it(if it is small or just a few pictures), or send you some blank CDs/DVDs (I will include an addressed envelope with postage, or I could swing by and see you if you will be at nats). Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dillon Compton
Team 1394

A professional photographer has posted some great pictures of the Philly Regional online at http://www.newcommunications.com/

Re: 2006 Philadelphia Regional
 

as far as video goes, I know that someone from Soap was taping the matches for archive. I don't think they're up yet, but if you check http://www.soap.circuitrunners.com/2006/movies/ every so often they should be up soon.


Hope that helps
