Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Team 1138 is coming, all the way from California.
It's funny this year, all of the regionals we are attending are back to back: LA, Boilermaker, and possibly San Diego. |

Some of us are thinking about coming.
We haven't voted yet, but yeah... |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Team 85 had a blast, or at least I did, last year and is returning. Goober, I hope your team is just as good, no wait, Better than you were last year. Because its not as much fun unless there are some challenging teams there. (cough) Techno Kats (cough)

166 voted to go to Boilermaker today!
So unless something happens and it fills up before we get a chance to register, we'll be there! I can't wait. |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Here is the list of the 2007 Boilermaker Regional(So far)
45, 85, 135, 166, 292, 573, 868, 878, 931, 1018, 1023, 1024, 1138, 1319, 1501, 1529, 1555, 1720, 1730, 1737, 1741, 1760, 1856, 1872, 1985, 1990, 2015, 2081, 2160, 2171 I would like some info on the teams going just to see how all of you guys done of course I'm from 1501 and lat year at BMR we were finalist and won the "driving tomorrow's technology award" and that all that we have done. And for all of the new teams that are coming this year its a ton of fun. And a big challenge. Can't wait!!! :D :D :D |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
There were 4 spaces yesterday. I checked minutes ago and then it's full!
It's a good thing we took care of it a week ago. 166 seems to have on and off years. Every other year we build a good robot that's very competitive, and then in between those years we build robots that... aren't very good. This upcoming it is the year for 166 to do well. So watch out :D |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Well team 573 is going and this is our first year going, we chose this one over WMR so it better be good.
|
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
As a semi-almost-wise man Lil' Jon once said, "Lets GO!" Do you even have to ask if 45 will be there?

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
868 is looking forward to do Boilermaker!!!
good luck everyone! |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
ah yes the all so famous boilermaker. Looking forward to it this year. I think i will get involved in some of the extra stuff this year rather than just going back to the hotel room.
Does anyone know the hotels they are staying at? We usually go to the same one, which i can't remember which one it is, maybe goober can spread some ligt on that. I was thinking if we are in the same hotel with some other teams maybe get some games going, wether its a console, card, or board game. |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
1646 will be coming across the Wabash for Boilermaker. Se ya'll there!

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Anybody know what happened to 461? They were listed as attending BMR; in the past week they've been taken off. Giving up homefield advantage?
Good luck to them at St. Louis - help represent Indiana teams well and show 'em in MO how to Boiler Up! If in fact they're not attending the BMR, we'll have to do a "Let's all go nuts" chant in their honor. Other sad news - 2006 BMR champ 1272 is taking the year off - we'll miss them & look forward to competing with them in 2008. |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Quote:
We are looking forward to seeing 461 and several other Indiana teams in St. Louis. I expect they will raise the level of competition. And some MO teams are coming to Boilermaker, too. I have a feeling this is going to be a really good year.:) |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
There may be errors on the FRC site. [EDIT: Or maybe 461 is just waiting until the deadline to send their money to FIRST? Maybe Team history events includes those for which a team is pending.]
Checking 461 team history shows they are registered for St. Louis, Boilermaker, and the Championship. The Boilermaker list doesn't include 461 now, and neither does the Championship list. But they do appear on the St. Louis list. |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Now 1646 is no longer on the team list.:confused:
Apparently we had some problems getting our submission in on time, something or other wrong with some server or other. I'm so confused... |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
There are 3 teams pending for Boilermaker. 461 and 1646 are two of them. Per the rules, a team is pending until payment is received.

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
I am so delighted to say that 1319 will be returning to the Boilermaker Regional! :)
It was one of my favorite regionals (even though it was freezing!) The people were nice and friendly! The Dodgeball Tournament was the best team social event ever! I just want to say that I can't wait to drive 13 hours for another awesome regional and I can't wait to see everyone there!! :p |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
I see Team 1319 on there, So I'm guessing that we're PLANNING to go. Gotta do a little Fundraising though ^^;; Annnd. It'll be awesome becasue if we do go, It'll be on my Birthday! ^_^ ((March 16)) The big 1-6 Baby! ((Just so y'all know)) Oh! And good luck Everyone that's going!
**Edit** I see she posted something already saying we're going. lol. Woo! Can't Wait then! ^_^ -Nick ((1319 Flash)) |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Team 1501 wil definitely be there. There is nothing that can keep us away.
Well, maybe a major snow storm :ahh: Will someone who is on the Boilermaker regional planning board please contact me off list. My e-mail is: rcwarthog@comcast.net Thanks |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Hay all,
If you are attending BMR, student or adult, please go to our website and register for your name badge. If you are planning to attend the social activities after the dinner Friday, it will be required. http://first.purdue.org/boilermakerregional/ Since we have gotten several inquiries so far, we are in fact planning to host campus and facility tours as we have in the past. Details are not yet finalized, but hope to be soon. Thanks, |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Team 2081 is registered and ready to go!!!!
Hope to see you all there |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
So with the robots shipped and the attending team list pretty much complete, what is this regional going to be known as...... a ringer based or lifter based competition? Let hear some strategies!
With our strategy being an end game lifter, should the majority of the teams be doing the same, the importance of each lift will become critcal. It will make each lift so important for score ratings. |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
We'll be using St. Louis as a practice to BMR, so by then we should be fine tuned and primed to go.
Our strategy is solely placing tubes. We'll be the team to get up your ramp. :) |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Indy rampees unite! We also will be driving upon our alliance partners after two minutes of ringer-placing excitement.
|
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
team 537 will be attending.
good luck and hope to see you all there! |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Team 1872 from Puerto Rico, we are going to start swimming next friday. :yikes:

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
it looks so far that BMR is going to be an arm regional!!!:D :D :D
good for 1501!!!;) |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
1024... if you've seen, has an elevator mounted manipulator with several degrees of freedom, capable of scoring on all three levels and changing the orientation of the tube within its gripper. It can also remove tubes from the rack. Nice speedy drivetrain too... software's coming along so multi-mode autonomous as well.
Depending on how many helium baloons we can find (or how good we get at carbon fiber n such), one or two full width ramps.... :rolleyes: Pics without the bumpers on: Mast Up Mast Down Shot -q |

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
At first when I saw the other pics I thought that gripper might have been too large to be any good but with a tube that gripper doesn't look so oversize.
I like the idea of using the wheels on the end of the fingers... shouldn't have to worry much about popping a tube. Wish you guys were coming to Palmetto Regional in South Carolina... would like to see that gripper in action. Well Good Luck and Have FUN! :cool: Quote:
|
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
234 is all arm. No ramps here. We may be scoreing tubes till the end in a lot of matches.
I like your reverse engineering in the middle of a thread 829. |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
1023 will be attending, for the first time ever! As you can tell by my signature, we have been performing very well over the years and we hope that this year will be our best! We are really confident about our robot and its abilities, as well as tons of support we have from sponsors, parents, mentors, and students. However, we will see how it goes after GLR.
Our robot can score 5-6+ tubes per match (this was unobstructed practice with ideal conditions). We can also hold 1, quite possibly 2 (depending on design) robots onto our ramps. |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Will someone from teams 1760, 1856, 1918, 2081, 2171 and 2277 please contact me at rcwarthog@comcast.net
NE1 who knows these team please ask them to contact me. Thx :) |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Just to clear things up, Team 461 is attending the boilermaker regional; why wouldnt we be, its our home regional...

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Hello to all that are attending the Boilermaker. I believe this will be the WOBOT's (Team 141) maiden voyage to the Boilermaker and we are wondering what to expect. Sounds like in years past this has proven to be fun place to be when the robots take stage. Good luck to all and we are looking forward to making new friends! We had a great time at IRI last year and from the looks of the team list many of the same teams will here. Only a couple more days before we pack the bus!
|
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Quote:
Like IRI, you'll find one of the best group of volunteers anywhere making the event run smoothly. Maybe they just don't let us see them sweat, but they seem to have more fun putting it on than the participants. Last year the competition was great. With the help of some awesome alliance partners we brought home our first gold in five years! I hope we get a chance to repeat that performance. :) |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
I gotta say, last year the Wobots (141) was one of my favorite teams from West Michigan. Looking forward to seeing what you've come up with for this year's competition.

I'm not biased or anything though.. :) Look forward to seeing everyone there!! Thanks, |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Like always, I'm in town because I stayed here for Spring Break and I have a very comfy futon for any ladies who are roadtripping and don't want to pay for a hotel room. I'm 5 minutes to the armory walking since I'm a RA in one of the lovely Purdue dorms.
|
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
As one of the home teams for BMR, let me tell all you that I'm psyched about this regional. West Laf may not have too many tourist-y things, but we have the most restaurants per capita in the US!

Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
Oh man it’s almost here!
Boilermaker is looking tough with 3 regional champs, 1 runner up, 4 quarter finalist and 2 semi finalists coming to town and 7 seven other teams with one regional under their belts. I can’t wait to see 1501 and 85’s amazing looking lifters in action, the lollypop licking the competition and a bunch of quality Indiana and Michigan teams in their first contest of the year. Can anyone imagine how much better 45 will be after another week with their practice bot? With teams from as far away as California, Puerto Rico and New Hampshire this is shaping up to be the best Boilermaker ever. Oh and look our for the revised Goat grabber! Edit: Major apologies to team 166 |

We are actually flying. So... yeah. About 4 hours between when we leave and land. There's a layover in Detroit. And we weren't in the top 3. 1st was 501, 2nd was 175, and 3rd was 1519. And... we weren't picked for the eliminations... we were, however, the alternate and got some nice seats in front of the field :D It will also be nice seeing teams that we saw in Cleveland two years ago. I specifically remember 135 and 931. |

Sound slightly muddled too. I'm sure there will be many complaints about not looking at the field from the 50 yard line (middle point).

Thank you sponsors and Greg for making this happen. :cool: Good luck to all there. PS this what it looked like after adjusting for brightness... ![]() |

So how are the teams doing with inspections and last minute builds/repairs?
Got things to do tomorrow so I'll miss most of the action, sat not looking so great either :( |
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
I woke up this morning and thought to myself, "Wow, I really get to wake up and go to another regional. Isn't this awesome?" I would say people who don't get involved in FIRST just don't know what they are missing. But that is ok because we know. Hope everyone is ready for another rockin' day at Purdue. See you all there.
|
Re: 2007 Boilermaker Regional!!!
I'll admit to being in mental fog and being very focussed on getting our robot running better, but here's a quick report for those not here... (I can't believe nobody else has posted.)
There's a large range of readiness and operability and a lot going on in almost everyone's pit area. There are some impressive teams and a lot of energy here. Most teams are happy with how things are going. From the reports of our scouting team, I'd say this will be a step up from what I saw in Arizona last week, if for no better reason than there are a few more teams (including BOB :) ). Good luck to all the teams today. Let's have some fun! |
