2007 UTC Connecticut Regional!
 
I woke up today and realized - hey, where's UTC's thread?

In it's 9th year, the UTC Connecticut Regional is getting even better with improved seating, and some surprises we can't talk about just yet ;)

So, who is going to the regional you voted as the Best Regional in the East, and who is excited?

Don't forget to sign up to volunteer at https://my.usfirst.org/vims/ ! We were trying out a new email system that had some issues, so if you sent messages to it and it did not work, please send all volunteer-related conversation to FIRSTCTRvolunteers AT gmail.com

Re: 2007 UTC Connecticut Regional!
 
I am very excited for the UTC Regional this year! It falls on the first weekend of my spring break, so I won't need to worry too much about homework. Plus, all kinds of crazy good teams are going to be competing there. I haven't checked entirely, but at least 3 teams that played on Einstein last year are coming to UTC, plus a bunch of other regional winners, and just generally strong-robot teams.

The competition is going to be fierce, and I think we're going to see some of the lowest scores posted nationwide (due to amazing defense and precision spoiler control, of course).

Mark McLeod 19-01-2007 10:31
Re: 2007 UTC Connecticut Regional!
 
You showed us a great time last year, and the kids voted to return this year.
Probably pitted right next to Rosie again.
We'll see you there!

We'll see if we can't post a few high scores too, due to the construction of some amazing robots :)

I would love to make the trip over to Connecticut again to help out and volunteer like last year, but i do believe i have school that week and i dont think i'd want to take the trip from California alone.. haha.

im sure this regional will be quite awesome though.

This is going to be the first regional of my FIRST career and I can't wait. As Greg said it is going to be fierce.

Re: 2007 UTC Connecticut Regional!
 
Hello everyone!

I definately can't wait for UTC this year. Last year, new venue, great event! Honestly, I don't know if I have seen an event which matched the excitment and electricity that the Connecticut regional had last year. The loud banging of feet on the bleachers, the music, the excitment...made for quite possibly the best regional that Connecticut has held since the NE Regional moved to Hartford in 1999. 2007 promises to be just as exciting.

To the teams attending, don't forget to bring your bumpers. Things get a little rough out here in New England!

If you aren't competing, I highly encourage you to volunteer for the event. Its people like those of you who volunteer who make the competition work. There are plenty of available jobs to be done, so throw your name into VIMS.

Hope to see you all there!

Re: 2007 UTC Connecticut Regional!
 
I'm excited! This is the first year my team is attending the UTC Regional, and though I tried (VERY!) hard to get there last year, this will be my first year there too! I can't wait for the tough competition!

I'm excited...I've heard a lot about UTC, so i'm interested to see how it compares to the Granite State Regional.

I can't wait to go. I hear it's a great regional with some tough competition= lots of fun!

Anything fun to do around the venue? We're staying to the Marriott connected to the convention center.

Re: 2007 UTC Connecticut Regional!
 
im excited... sort of. i can only hope that our robot will live up to the UTC NER standards... and let me tell you i am not looking forward to programming it.

dual targets + 3 closed PID loops + a slew of teams that wrecked the competition last year = some fierce competition

Levin571 26-01-2007 10:43
Re: 2007 UTC Connecticut Regional!
 
Looking at the teams, I think this may be the most intense regional this upcoming year

I dont know about directly at the venue, butexcept for a few teams playing ultimate frisbee and hackie sack, but last year was good because it landed on the same day as a parade so we watched that for a while

It is actually really good that the St. Patrick's Day parade in Hartford is the same day. Last year, we were able to convince a bunch of kids from our high school who weren't involved in robotics to come check out the competition since the Convention Center isn't very far from the parade route.

I would encourage everyone to tell their peers to come see what it's like if they're going to be in Hartford already.

Convince your local legislators to stop by afterwards, also. Or better yet, convince them that attending the FIRST event is more important than marching in a parade! :)

I just found out that I will be home in Connecticut for my spring break this year, and that I will be able to attend the UTC Connecticut Regional! I am very excited because this means that I am now going to be able to spend time with The Who'sCTEKS for two out of their three events (I'm missing the New Jersey Regional).

Good luck teams, and see you there! :)

Well, Buzz is not going to UTC, but I will be home for my spring break as well, so I'm definitely going to UTC. (This will probably be the only regional I get to, as there seems to be no way for me to get from Syracuse to Manchester. Stupid public transportation!) Hopefully I will be volunteering. But I'm just excited to get to see some competition this year!

The site looks really nice. I am excited to see it fill up with more content as the Regional comes and goes. Resources like these are very valuable and can make a big difference to new teams and teams with limited resources.

Keep it up!

Sam,

I'm not sure but I rather doubt it. There may be a few test feeds to shake out the system but practice matches are a bit boring for the folks at home...

Another issue is manpower from 230. They will be staffing all day Friday and Saturday as it is...

Re: 2007 UTC Connecticut Regional!
 
I'll be field-side at UTC, doesn't get much better than that. Especially with the intensity of the new venue. Should be another great regional, I wonder if that science museum is open yet?? I heard rumors of a Team Social there last year. Anyways can't wait for CT use to be one of my least favorite events (booo Meadows!!!!) now it is probably my favorite event (yay CT Convetion Center!!!!!). The UTC regional I think jut proves how much of a difference venue can make to a FIRST competition Meadows was a horrible FIRST venue and the intensity and excitement at the competition suffered as a result. Everything's back on track now should be a good time and great comp.

Mechanically our robot is much better off than last year, so how bad could the task of programming it be? At least we don't throw chains and leave robot carnage as souvenirs on the field...

Anyway, on behalf of all the members of the ÜberBots, I believe I can fairly say that we're all super-excited for the UTC Connecticut Regional this year. Only a few more days!

It is not critical or urgent, but if any team or one of its members happens to have an RP-SMA antenna for our wireless router that will be running Sundial at the event, we want to make sure the range will cover the whole convention center. It is, well, large :p

So now that half of CT has prematurely cancelled schools, I know 177 is going to have issues getting there and being allowed to use our robot, how about everyone else? I believe our school policy is, you need to come with the school, or with a parent to be allowed to be there as part of a team, which complicates things for a lot of the team.

We had this problem in 2004. We called a whole bunch of people the Friday morning of competition, and eventually word made its way to the super intendant. We were allowed to go;)

Do to the weather some teams were not allowed to stay. Which kinda stinks. Other things happened too, but I will let someone else tell you so I am not accused of being bias.

today went very well, i must admit. good luck to all the teams tomorrow!

(glad that we got our autonomous mode to work 3/7 times today... which is good considering our massive EMI, drivetrain, and transmission problems earlier)

40 is in 1st. 25 is top 5, maybe 4th?

The qualification day was a ton of fun! Competition is intense. So far they have not posted the results/schedule and the standings on the usfirst.org website.

All the teams have 10 matches, 6 today (Friday, depending on when you read this) and 4 on Saturday.

Speaking of Saturday, the regional has been delayed ONE hour because of the snow and sleet and the driving conditions in the weather. That means the pit opens at 9 AM and opening ceremonies at 10 AM.

Now it's time to go over scouting and then catch some zzzz's.

I would personally like to say thank you to team 176, Aces High, for the gracious perfessionalism that they demonstrated today.

In the middle of the competition, for various school, snow and board of education reasons, our team was forced to stop competing (for the rest of today, atleast). Thanks to an amazing team, we were still able to have our robot out on the field.

Thank you to the three drive team members on team 176 who stepped in to drive two matches with 177's robot. Without ever having driven the robot before, they were able to score a ringer, and play great defense!

Thank you guys so much,

This goes to show how awesome FIRST is.

I believe you speak for our entire team when you say that. Not only did Aces allow us to keep competing, but we also even won a round :D. Good work and thank you team 176.

Team 25 was crazy fast at scoring tubes!:yikes:
The snow really made it bad for some teams that had to go home. I feel bad for them. I got to sign Woodie Flower's shirt though (so did a lot of other people). Going 20 mph home on the highway was rough. :p
