Team 488 is looking forward to bettering our PNW performance :)



2 robots @ 12"

We have very large low profile ramps that are really easy to drive onto that lift independently and without the need for continuous power.

That looks pretty awesome. Hopefully we'll get a chance to test it for ourselves.

I don't mean to totally derail this thread, but here are some pictures of the evolution of the "west coast" arm.

It feels like only yesterday...

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Among all the ramp bots I've seen, I say this one is definitely my favorite. I'm sure you can back up your performance at PNW pretty easily.

This will be my first ever regional, I won't be there on Thursday, but I'll be all pumped up for Friday and Saturday.

If you want to see 115's bot, it's on the MVRT website's frontpage(as a rookie, not sure if this is indeed what you call a west coast arm)

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

We went to L.A. instead, and Sacramento is our second regional again.

Hey, I've never met 488 before! Looking forward to that :) Have they ever been at SVR in the past?

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Nope, first time ;)

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

1070 will be going as one of the all girls teams! Can't wait to see everyone there.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

less than one day w00t! I just want to say one last good luck to all teams. Hopefully everyone has minimal problems if any at all. And lets not forget to have fun. See you all tomorrow bright and squirly. =P

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

hey, can anyone post the link to the SVR webcast. I checked robotics.nasa.gov webcast list, but the link is not there. Thank you

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

notice there is no link to the SVR webcast...

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

should be on tomorrow, Friday:yikes:

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

well the first day of SVR is over. who sticks out to you guys?

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Im sure the hawaiian team, 368 did, as usual.:D

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

I wouldn't be surprised if they did, it's a nice looking robot from what I saw on their website, and their manipulator is quite impressive, though I still sort of like our's better.:p

Unfortunately I wasn't there today, stayed in school for today, but I'm ready for tomorrow, I'll be out there scouting and cheering on my team, MVRT!:)

I would guess that the teams who had already competed before(i.e. 254, 114, etc.) probably stood out the most, but once it really begins, we'll see who really is the best.
