Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

a bunch of the other regional threads have been starting up, so i decided to take the opportunity to start this one!

i noticed only 13 teams are registered so far, so i would like to ask,


who's going to the LA reg? :D

Re: LOS ANGELES REGIONAL ! 2007
 

I liked the Forum, but it'll be a closer drive to the Sports Arena, so that's good.

Re: LOS ANGELES REGIONAL ! 2007
 

Team 294 is hopefully going. It will be our 2nd regional. We took a gamble thinking San Diego would fill up before the 2nd regional opening so we registered for that first, hoping LA would still be open (and it's looking okay for now).

We wanted San Diego because it's cheaper for us (we pay for students travel). This is a big deal because we're hoping to go to championships like usually along with a 3rd regional.


Hope to see you all at L.A; But be careful, We've got some big plans for this year (which, if everything goes well, you guys will see in early march), along with some more resources than usually, so watch out for us.

Re: LOS ANGELES REGIONAL ! 2007
 

We might be.

We're still discussing what week 1/2 regional we're going to attend though.

Re: LOS ANGELES REGIONAL ! 2007
 

We'd love to be there, but it comes hot on the heels of the hometown regional, so we'll be gracing northern California with our presence instead. Next year.

Re: LOS ANGELES REGIONAL ! 2007
 

I will probably be attending as a spectator like I did this year.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

I anticipate the LA regional being a good deal smaller (in number of teams) this year due to Phoenix being on the same weekend and the new San Diego regional. This should make things quite interesting. It presumably gives everyone a better shot at being in the finals.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Team 4 is happy to be there again. This year should be amazing with less teams but more competition!

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Team 1138 will be going like always. I can't wait for an amazing year, less than 100 days 'til kickoff. :)
How many of you are happy that it's earlier by being a week 2 regional instead of week 4 like it's been in the past?

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

actually, i enjoyed having the LA regional later because it built up anticipation :P




and wow, im glad everyone is excited this early! i am definitely ecstatic to see who from outside of California will be attending this event as well. *cough188 cough* :D

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

There's a 90% chance I'll be there. I tend to magically appear there every year anyways.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Well, we're almost guaranteed to see you in San Diego.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Well considering I'm one of the ppl putting it on, yes I suppose you might see me in San Diego.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

599 is going, and hopefully we will have FIRST Aid available again.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

hmm only 17 teams are registered so far. do you guys think there will be a smaller amount of teams attending this year?

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

My guess is that there will be more teams signing up once the second regional sign-up opens.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Yeah, our team wanted to save money so we chose San Diego and LA. We took a gamble thinking SD would fill up first, so we're going to sign for LA as the second. It'll probably fill up; Or atleast have enough teams for the finals.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

It seems that there are many teams taking that gamble and choosing to sign up for an away regional first instead of their usual/home regional.

For example:
59 signed up for the Las Vegas Regional
190 signed up for the Silicon Valley Regional
254 signed up for the Great Lakes regional
1138 signed up for the Boilermaker Regional
22, 294, 980, 1425 & 1825 all chose the San Diego regional over regionals closer to home.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

yeah 1138 likes living on the edge

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Vicki already said it but, yes, 1070 is SOO going! go Robotrons!

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Of course more teams will most likely be signed up but i mean, if im not mistaken, more teams were signed up around this time last year.


Maybe because teams are going to the new SanDiego reg instead?

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

I have a feeling that it is going to fill up very quick once registration opens.

Even with some teams missing, it looks like a competitive regional.

4 (technically new, old in experience), 188, 330, 599, 696 and a few other teams (I don't remember teams very well) usually can produce some very high calibur robots.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Oddly enough, there is a good chance that I'll be able to make it. It's the same weekend as the end of my spring break. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces there.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Thanks for the compliment. lol. when i here the word calibur i think of Dr.Evil and the Fembots. lol. LA should be fun, if people arent going, its there loss. lol. (hopfully reverse psycology will work :) )

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

Are we going to have a Social after LA reg this year? i think maybe it's a bit early to ask, but i was just wondering.

Re: Los Angeles Regional! 2007
 

On a newer thread, the social has been posted up:

Again, I hope to see you all there, and I'm extremely excited to see what all the teams came up with!
