2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Yet another regional thread. If only starting it meant that the season was already here.

At any rate, who's coming? What dastardly plans do you have for winning? And most importantly, are all you slackers out there going to break down and actually have a mascot for the Friday Macsot Challenge? You can count on LSR living up to its end of the deal and putting on a great event, we just need you guys to be a little more spirited. Especially Team Fusion. Assuming that's possible.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

418 is coming.
Our school mascot had so much fun last year with all of the teams and mascots, that there is talk of bringing along the 2nd mascot this year to share the fun.

Come join in the competition and fun with all of us at LSR - it's a blast.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

364 is going. Woo Hoo!!! Can't wait either. I'm really pumped about this next season for some reason.

Central / South Texas kick-off
 

The Toltechs, team 499, have finally gotten all the commitments signed for hosting a local kick-off here in San Antonio. All that is needed is to have 8 teams select this site for kick-off and kit pick-up. I hope this will help with time & $$$ for area teams who otherwise would need to drive into Houston for kick-off.

We have use of a state of the art teleconference theater. It is in the Advanced Technology Center located on the Kelly USA site of the Alamo Community College District.

KellyUSA, Building 210
312 Tinker Drive
San Antonio , Texas 78226

St. Philip's College southwest Campus, which operates the ATC will be the site for kit pick-up and viewing of the demonstration field items.

Look for this on the TIMS system when time for selecting your kick-off / kit shipment location draws near. :cool:

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

OF course 118 will be there... ready to battle it out and have some fun..

We will def. bring the spirit with us

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

So 57 will obviously be there, but here's a fun fact for everyone. 57 has attended the Great Lakes Regional in Michigan the past several year to pit ourselves against the greats like 33, 65, 66, 494, etc. in action. Also cause we're nuts and I have great fun laughing at the students looking foolish in the snow.

At any rate, it appears that the Juggernauts, team 1, will be attending the GLR this year and following us home to Texas to attend the LSR. Perhaps they don't like the cold as much as us, having to deal with it all the time. Or maybe the tropical heat of Houston sounds appealing from 1,500 miles away. Someone should probably have warned them that Houston is, in fact, a swamp.

But their questionable selection of comfortable clime aside, they're an awesome team that will definitely bring a new look to the regional this year. Heaven help you all if we pair well with them.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Personal opinion only,
Houston is awesome during LSR.
I think it gets pretty and stays that way just for FIRST.
Never ever a bad time at Lone Star Regional.
Welcome everyone, far and near!

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

I am going to try to make it and root on my 3rd team. Reliant Arena is an excellent venue! Do you still have to pay for parking?

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Yes, you do have to pay for parking, Barry.
For those coming, I would suggest the weekend pass. There is a table setup to the right past the pits and staff is there to assist with that. If no one posts more accurate info, I'll edit in later.

Barry, you can root for anyone you want to but you have to be real loud and you have to 'share' by visiting all us other teams at Lone Star as well. :)

YaY!
Jane

Here's the edit:
You pay $8.00 at the entry gate and keep the receipt. When purchasing the parking pass for 3 days, you present the receipt and they apply the amount towards the pass. You can also pay per day, $8.00, but I don't think you have in and out access with that.

The amount of the 3 day pass was $30.00 in 2006. The parking pass is for school vans, SUVs, and personal vehicles. There is no charge for school buses or buses that teams have chartered to come to the event.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Does anyone else think that we are expanding and will need a new venue in a year or so... or am i jus the only one

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

I don't see how that could possibly be necessary. We're barely making use of Reliant Arena as it is. We're only using half of the arena for a single field. There's easily enough room for a second field if we wanted it, the arena seats 8,500 after all. That means seating for 100 teams bringing 85 people each. As for pit space, there's huge halls on both sides of the arena that the pits could easily be moved to. The only reason not to at the moment is because the Lobby area is adequate to our needs. Really, if it was absolutely necessary, you could fit 3 fields in the arena proper, and a fourth in the auditorium area.

If it came down to it, you could always move to the Reliant Center and rent some stadium seating. You could easily handle an event the size of nationals that way if you wanted to. And then you wouldn't have to worry about our measley 15,000 spectators barely filling up the lower half of the stadium.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Team 1745 will be there!

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Team 437 will be reporting in bright and early to the 2007 Lone Star Regionals

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

This year 1902 won't be attending Lone Star. We had such a blast last year though, and I know that it was a very... very hard decision for the team to go to another regional this year. We'll be there in spirit, that's for sure. I hope that we can make it out there again to compete in the near future. Have an awesome time guys!

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

YAY lol. You can expect some good competition from 118 and 418. We going to have a rematch of last year in the finals hopefully. }=) !!

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Team 476, Ponca City WILDCATS are coming and excited for the opportunity to have an AWESOME time...ONLY 2 MORE DAYS!!! YEAH!!:D

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Team 846 is coming. We're from Silicon Valley and this will be our first time to the LSR.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

I would like to welcome you to LSR.. be ready for an intense battle

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

We're looking forward to it. We considered last year a rematch of the year before, though perhaps this year we'll work together.
Can't wait to see you guys there.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

We can't wait either.. it will be fun and competitive

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Here is an idea for all of you going to the LSR..

Cool idea to get off the ground

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

hey everybody im from rookie team 2276..... hopefully we will beable to pull this off and send a working robot... lol
and i think the it will be great, being in such a big competition and all, hope to see ya'll all there

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Rookies rock!

If you have any questions or need anything send me a PM, I'll be glad to help. We'll see you at Lone Star.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Hello Teams!!!!

HeitorTec Trail Blazers #1772 in the Lone Star Regional !!


go Teams!!

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

thanks, i'll be sure to ask thing that we can't do...

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

It is great that you guys will be coming to Lone Star! Although we are a big competition everyone there is really friendly and we all love to help each other so feel free to PM me if you need any help and even if you need anything during the competition feel free to stop by Team 118's pit and we will be glad to your help your team with anything you need.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Houston was our very first event as rookies----we love going to Houston. Just don't ask us about the trailer blow-outs, the dead hawk, or about passing cookies from one vehicle to the other-on the interstate. It is a long 10 hour drive for us. We are looking forward to coming back down. After all the ice we have had---we are looking forward to warmer temps.

Our team likes to go to Kemah on Saturday night after the awards ceremony---then we head home Sunday morning. visit kemahboardwalk.com for all the attractions.

Can't wait to see all of you---it will be a very competitive and fun event.

Good luck!

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

yeah... we went last year...but this year were going to kansas! i wish we could go to both!

Elementary tour
 

I sent out the following request via email to several teams attending the regional already. I don't have contact information for several teams so I am posting the request here in the hopes that some of those teams are C.D. readers. If possible send me an email or pm. Thanks,



Greetings from San Antonio.

I have arranged for at least 30 upper elementary students from three schools in our district to take a Friday field trip to the Lone Star Regional. We intend to take groups of 5 - 6 through the pit to see the robots up close and ask questions. If possible, can you send me a short bio about your team and a person who we should ask for when we make the rounds in pit row. We will start the escorted pit row tours after lunch.


Thanks,

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Team 118 will be more than willing to help out with talking to the kids. I can not give you a name right off the back for who might be in the pit, but I can assure you that someone will be at the pit at all times.

Re: Elementary tour
 

Andrew,
You should also check out the EARLY program while at the Regional. It is geared specifically for Elementary students to get them involved in engineering. We will have some information available and EARLY teams can be created in your area very easily.

www.earlyrobotics.org

Re: Elementary tour
 

Thanks Chris,
Will you have a demonstration board set up for EARLY? All of the elementaries that I am bringing to the competition have an EARLY team and one also has three squads entered in GEAR. (GEAR is associated with BEST and is an FLL type event) Edgewood ISD also is now in their second year of having middle school students compete in Botball. Team 499 has their first class of freshman with Botball experience which helped a great deal as two freshmen worked on the programming team and fit right in the mix. We are graduating twin sisters from the programming team this year which were going to be hard to replace.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Team 118 will most likely have a demonstration field set up.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

624 will be there and we are excited to see all the teams, including 846, who we played with in Silicon Valley.

I have also heard that the regional will be moving out of the Reliant Arena... into a different facility around Houston. What have you guys heard?

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

The NCAA is kicking LSR out of Reliant Arena for 2008, as the Sweet, Elite, Final Something will be played there the same weekend as LSR next year. So LSR will indeed be temporarily moving to a new venue around Houston for 2008, and will then be back in Reliant after 2008.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

We are a week away for LSR 2007 but as the head sponsor for our team, I have to work plans many months in advance.

As a team, we are ready to move from the single regional / championship via pre-registration mode into two regionals and championship if we win mode.

So my question to teams who frequent the LSR and have participated in other regionals, what regional in week two or three has the same Texas Friendly feel:cool: Meaning that I can bring in pizza / chicken / sub sandwiches and do lunch tailgate style in the parking lot. I did a short survey of regionals that are within a 24 hour bus ride and saw a lot of venues that specifically state, Don't bring food into the event or even onto the PROPERTY:mad:

Phoenix, Boilermaker (Purdue), St. Louis , Peachtree ....

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

More specifically, if you come by the Robonauts' pits you will be able to see a EARLY (Engineering and Robotics Learned Young) Robotics Field. If you could give me a time of when this will be happening I might be able to arrange some sort of demonstration with some materials that you use in the EARLY Robotics program.

------------------------

From Reliant Park's Policies Page (here)
Tailgating
Tailgating is allowed in all of the Parking Lots at Reliant Park, but only during Houston Texans Football games or at the discretion of the management. There are areas of Port-A-Cans, Trash Dumpsters and Ash Bins in every parking lot. All tailgaters must use these responsibly.

Gates to Reliant Stadium will open 2 hours prior to kickoff for the Houston Texans and at the discretion of management for all other events.
Tailgating will be limited to the parking spot and space directly behind or in front of each vehicle, whichever is adjacent to the drive lane, but not blocking the lane. You may not tailgate beyond the blue lines marked in the drive lane.
Each valid parking receipt/hangtag is good for one 8’x16’ parking spot.
Fans can purchase one additional parking space/hangtag for the additional tailgating area (subject to availability).

----

Maybe you can E-mail them and ask if there was a location around the Reliant Arena, where we could tail gate because that sounds like fun.


Pavan Dave.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

i've heard it may possibly be a permenant move.

but correct me if you have heard otherwise (from an extremly reliable source).

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Pavan,

There's already tailgating allowed at LSR in the parking lot. That is, teams may bring outside food onto Reliant Park property and eat it in the parking lot outside the Arena proper. This is one of the few regionals where teams can do this. Andrew is asking if there are any other regionals nearby that let teams do even this much.

To Andrew,

57 regularly competes at the Great Lakes Regional. It's cold, it's super-tough, and it's probably more than a bus ride away, but our usual lunch plan is to stash sandwich and such in a van in the parking lot and eat there. We haven't had any problems with this at GLR.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Ummm. No. I'm certain that it's not a permanent move. We have things FAR too good in the Reliant Arena. Location, event support, and expansion room are all great at Reliant. I'm convinced that there is no other venue in or around Houston that could credibly support our growing regional nearly as effectively as Reliant Arena or maaaaybe one of the other Reliant Park facilities.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

the place i've heard of doesn't charge parking and has just about the same amount of seating (if not larger) and cheaper food.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

aw, shucks for 2008...yippee for the return. :)

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

The list is up to Fifty 4th & 5th graders along with a dozen teachers. The hope is that we have them leaving early enough in the AM to arrive at the arena by 9:30 AM. We'll escort them into the stands so we are going to attempt to set up some seating for them without violating the spirit of the rules of not saving seats. We will let them watch games in the morning so that they can see the robots in action on the field and hopefully recognize teams when the visit the pits after lunch. So the plan for the pit tours by escorted student groups is after lunch, 1:00 - 2:30. They will be getting back on the bus and make the 3 hour trip back to San Antonio so that their parents can pick them up by 6:00 PM:)

I appretiate all the support and help that the veteran teams are giving to introducing the FIRST experience to these future Toltechians:D

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Thanks for the info Kevin,
I just email the Falcon Master and they allow teams to each on the grounds but you can't cook hot dogs or anything via a grill.

Anybody been to this regional? If so, what can you report about the venue

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

To answer your question:
Also:
Have you heard the phrase "Every things big* in Texas", well that sums up our regional.

Pavan.
*In size and quality.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Team 1429 will be at LSR also. After the Bayou regionals, I know things will be 'heating up' in Houston. I look forward to seeing 118 and 364 do some amazing things. Good luck to all that are attending.

Reviving this post from last year with some useful store info for the LSR 2007.

Feel free to modify and update!

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Thanks that will really help a lot of teams that come out to Lone Star.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Lone Star was amazing. I didn't see all of the matches but I know three teams scored around the rack (8 ringers) and from what I saw, If 148, 364, or 2158 (AusTIN CANs) are together (with or against each other) in the final matches, there will be more views of those final matches than there are registered members on Chief Delphi. It will be THAT good.

Watch it, you're gonna love it!

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Is anyone able to view the LSR webcast?

When I click on the Lone Star Regional link at the FIRST Webcast site, I get a Windows Media Player error message:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct.

Is the problem just on my end, or is the server down?

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

I am having no problems watching the webcast.

http://robotics.arc.nasa.gov/events/...onals_2007.php

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Webcast looks excellent here in Georgia. Coming in at 331 Kbps.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Rats!

I can view the Las Vegas and Palmetto webcasts, but Lone Star is a different story. I checked the proxy config's on Windows Media Player - no difference between autodetect and using the browser's proxy configuration.

The LSR media link is:

mms://sargasso-3.arc.nasa.gov/lonestar

where as for Palmetto it is:

mms://a335.l1856940184.c18569.n.lm.akamaistream.net/D/335/18569/v0001/reflector:40184

These appear to be very different servers in different domains - any "net wizards" out these who might have a clue what I'm doing wrong??

I'm trying to see my son's team in action (Team 16 - Bomb Squad), but so far, no joy...

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

148 is looking pretty lethal. (And they score keepers!) I haven't seen 118 yet.

I hope I can see these teams together tomorrow. What a deadly combo.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

I'm having the same problem. I sure wish someone could tell us what we are doing wrong soon. I'm missing the action!

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

I was able to see their second, third, and fourth match so far. The autonomous keeps missing by inches. They lost Match 9 because of pentalties, Match 23 they won, Match 28 they lost, but did extremely well and was able to place four tubes on the spider while under defense.

I hope you will be able to view it. I was able to pick it up from here: http://robotics.arc.nasa.gov/events/...onals_2007.php

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

On that page, I'm clicking on the Lone Star Regional Live link. Windows Media Player comes up indicating that it's "Connecting to media..." and after about 10 seconds the dreaded message window pops-up:

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because a network error occurred. The server might not be available. Verify that you are connected to the network and that your proxy settings are correct."

I don't have this problem with the two other Live webcasts (Las Vegas and Palmetto). Any experts out there with suggestions???

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

The "Match Results" and "Standings" pages for the Lone Star Regional are not being updated today either - maybe this is an "internet-challenged" event??

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

i'm having the same problem with the webcast... i am very interested in seeing how the brazilian tem #1772 is doing out there...

if someone could tell me i would be very very happy ^^

bye...

see ya in Atlanta !!:D

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

i saw 1772 in a match with 118 this morning where the alliance got a full row plus a few more tubes for a score around 270ish.

I just watched 1772 with 148 get a full row and win the match with 256 points. In that same match on the other alliance 16 capped very impressively during autonomous.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

The Bomb Squad just played against 1772. The Bomb Squad got a ringer in autonomous!! 1772's alliance made a full ring on the spider scoring 256 points. Very good defense played by 1772's alliance.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

wow ... thank you...:D it looks they are doing good... someone know their rank?? (i know that this is a hard question but... lol)

it's a pity that i'm not able to see the competition... :(

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

How is Team 16 doing on the field? Are they hanging ringers, playing defense, climbing onto ramps??

In KC the autonomous was very close to scoring keepers, however, they weren't having much luck with the ringers. It appeared than "two minute warning" was moving well and playing reasonably good defense...

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Team 16 (Bomb Squad) seems to be doing alright. Opposing alliances seem to be playing a lot of defense against them. I think that when they go to score they are doing it pretty accurately, but not having much opportunity to score because of the defense. Match 49 was the first time it sucessfully scored the keeper. It had gotten very close the other 5 matches. They were in a deep one on one battle in match 40 and ended up winning the ringer. They are climbing on to ramps when needed, but that was only once so far today. They play one more time today.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

are you talking about #16, aren't you??

Standings?
 

Does anybody at Lone Star have a way to post the standings at the end of Friday? Or the Friday awards? The links at the FIRST site aren't working.

Thanks.

Re: Standings?
 

yeah that would be very kind... i still want to know the rank of team #1772...

please... if someone is able to do it... then do it :D

bye

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Hi, Lucia Sevcik Lone Star Regional Director her. 1772 was ranked #2 earlier today. When I left the venue their ranking was #8. They are a very impressive team.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

thank you, a lot Lucia, i'm very glad to hear that... our team hope that they get to Atlanta...:)
and making another question: do you have any information abou why the match results, and the standings aren't working in the usfirst website?

thank you once more! :D

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Can anyone post any more information about whats going on at Lonestar? The FIRST site has no information available on matches, standings, or awards. The webcast wasn't working for some of us as well. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, someone post some more information about what is going on in Houston! Inquiring minds want to know! Who is hot and who isn't? Who got what awards so far?

Anyone know why the FIRST site has no information on Lonestar?

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

I do not have all of the rankings, but I do know that Team 647 Cyberwolves were ranked 3rd by end of today.

Perhaps if all of the teams that are reading this thread announced were they are at the end of day, we can get some idea.

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

i can't wait to see the elimination matches!!!

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Could someone post the alliance selections when they're completed?

I STILL cannot view the webcast and the FIRST regional website is not being updated with match results or standings?

Is there a ban on ALL internet use at LSR, even at the scoring table??

This seems like the "dark ages" for me...

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

AARRGGHH! This is so frustrating!

Please anyone! Give us some news from Lone Star! :ahh:

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Now i can see... but the image quality here is poor... and i can't remember the numbers to say to you... here you go, the 8 alliances:

1 - 846, 148 and 1750
2 - 118, 476 and 1745
3 - 1421, 418 and 16
4 - 1772, 364 and 57
5 - 1, 1429 and 437
6 - 2276, 1742 and 1801
7 - 1863, 462(i guess) and 231
8 - 647, 31 and 1255

as i said maybe one or another team is wrong (because the quality is poor and i had to guess)... but it won't change much from this list...

byee...

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

from what i can see:
1. 846 148 1750
2. 118 476 1745
3. 1421 418 16
4. 1772 364 57
5. 1 1429 437
6. 2276 1742 1801
7. 1863 462 231
8. 647 31 1255

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

oh ooppes
i was a little too slow >.<

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

yeah i believe is that... we both said the same alliances... let's get prepared to the elimination matches

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

they are all working hard in the field, scouting and fixing the robot while i am at home doing hw and watching the webcast >.<

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Mateus and rainy846: thanks for posting those. I look forward to some updates, if you can slip them in between elimination rounds, I'd really appreciate it. I just got a call from my son (Bomb Squad) and he feels like their partners are good scoring bots with ramps, maybe the #3 alliance is the "sleeper"...

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

all right i will try to put the results of elimination matches... i didn't see many matches... only from 76 to the last elimination... so i still don't kwow about the bots... but i'll try to post the result and a little coment about the matches...

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

By the way, is this the webcast server link that you are viewing?:

mms://sargasso-3.arc.nasa.gov/lonestar

from the NASA Robotics Alliance Project regional webcast website: http://robotics.arc.nasa.gov/events/...onals_2007.php

I don't know why I can see Palmetto and sometimes Las Vegas, but not the Lonestar...

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

yeah that is the link... i don't understand too, yesterday i was in the same situation, but today i get to see lone star... it's very weird!

Score:

84 X 34

Comment:

Team 846 almost scored a keeper, it was a very near miss, the red alliance made a row of 6 in the bottom, and a row of three in the middle... and one bot (i didn't see which) was lifted in the blue alliance

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

does anyone know has any keepers been scored at this regional?

we scored a keeper at Silicon Valley Regional, we were the only one there that got one on

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional

Re: 2007 Lone Star Regional
 

Bomb Squad managed at least one in the qual matches yesterday...according to posts and my son (usually a reliable source!)
