2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

So I looked through and through, and could find no thread about SVR '07. So I decided to make one.

As usual, Paly Robotics will be at SVR. We hope to get a more operational robot than last year, and we definitely hope to have some fun and kick some $@#$@#$@#.

What about you? Will you be there?

Yup. I misspelled silicone. Well, the material silicone is spelled with an e. The valley isn't. Failure on my behalf.

Re: 2007 Silicone Valley Regional
 

Team 675 Represent :D

Re: 2007 Silicone Valley Regional
 

114 will be there in full force. Can't wait to see everyone there. We'll be entering our animation into the silicon valley regional, so you all better be ready for some stiff animation competition (I'm looking at you 192 :p )

And since I know everyone from the Silicon Valley area will be reading this thread, I was wondering if anyone would be willing trade their 2007 CMU camera for some motors or something. We have project we're working on, and we need another 2007 camera for it to be legal. If anyone out there is willing to trade us for something, shoot me a PM.

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you all in a month and a half (so soon!)
Mike C.

Re: 2007 Silicone Valley Regional
 

beware the goat

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

MVRT team 115 will be there, ready to Rack N' Roll!

Hope everyone is surviving build ! Only 3 weeks left!

See you all at SVR!

(team 114 - WOW two cameras! nice)

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

We're looking forward to competing down in the Bay Area this season.

Can anyone suggest some things that our team may be able to see after the event on Sunday? Our flight doesn't leave until 8:30 PM Sunday night, so we've got all day Sunday for sight-seeing and such. We'd planned to go to Great America, but its season doesn't begin until the following weekend.

We're also considering trying to take a train to San Francisco for the day, but I'm worried that it'll take far too long. What else is there to see in the San Jose area besides the Tech Museum and, say, the Winchester Mystery House?

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

If you like hockey and the Sharks are in town, that's an option. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend taking the Caltrain up to San Francisco. It's an hour and a half each way, and $13.50 a person for a day pass. Go ride the street cars, hang out at Pier 39... it's a lot of fun. San Jose is a nice place, but as far as having stuff to do, I've found it to be pretty limiting, particularly with Great America being closed. </twocents>

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Team 668 will be there. You guys better be ready!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

The Tech Museum is always nice. Down the street and around the corner is the California Theater, which sometimes shows old movies, complete with pre-show cartoons, newsreel and the mighty Wurlitzer organ. If there's a show while you're in town, I highly recommend it. A little farther north, in Mountain View, is the Computer History Museum.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Team 766 will be there again. Hopefully one of the teams this year can dethrone 254 and their dominance of SVR (thanks for picking us last year!).

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

I have to second the Tech, aka Tech Museum of Innovation. Pretty darrn cool place, especially for robotics people. Otherwise, you could go up to San Fran, though it's a pretty long ride each way, or the Computer History Museum (also mentioned here before).

-Guy

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Everyone enjoying their build season I hope...

368 will be there once again - gotta see our hero Mark Leon of course! :yikes:

SVR Area Scrimmages?
 

I noticed that many teams in other areas hold organized scrimmages on their practice fields. Does anyone in our area do it? We'd love to come somewhere and get some practice with more than a few robots.

-Guy

Re: SVR Area Scrimmages?
 

254 usually has their practice field open to all teams to use, and have held scrimmages in the past. I'd contact them and see what's up.

Re: SVR Area Scrimmages?
 

I don't know if my team will be there, but I might go check it out!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Here are some websites that might help you out.
http://www.artsopolis.com/index.php
http://siliconvalley.citysearch.com/
http://sanjose.org/visitors/thingstodo/main.php

One thing in particular I plan to check out, as soon as we get through the build, is the MC Escher exhibit at the San Jose Museum of Art. It will be running through April 22nd.

Hope that helps,
Dennis

Re: SVR Area Scrimmages?
 

We may or may not be opening our field to everyone this year. We'd definitely like to, but as of now we will not be setting up a secondary field like last year. We do not have enough manpower to setup a field at a secondary location from our lab, nor enough mentors to supervise it.

Due to both teams being extremely behind, we will probably also not be able to let teams come in and use the playing field in our lab. We'd have to limit it to only one team at a time, if we could even find enough supervision to have that many people in our lab, and it would be unfair to all the local teams to not allow everyone in here to practice.

If we are able to let teams come over and practice, we'll let everyone know. If anyone is making a practice robot, you'll be welcome to come over after ship and practice on the field in our lab.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

ARC (852) will be there in full force! I look forward to seeing ya'll!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

only 3 weeks before 766 repeats at SVR ;)

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

does anyone know if there's going to be a social this year? It's not listed on the agenda

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

840 :)

And I heard in our meeting today that there would be a social, but there were no concrete details and I'm not sure they really knew for sure...

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Team 604 will be there.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

If you want to go to SF, I would take the team down Lombard street, go to the Golden gate bridge, and go to the Exploratorium (this is a great hands-on activity science center). I took my team there last year and it was a big success.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

SVR is personally my favorite regional, but we registered too late this year to make it :(

Some of us are dropping in on Saturday anyways, just to see the action.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

I hope there is, that's one of the main reasons that 190's heading out there!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

We have to rely on public transportation while we are there and it seems like those things are all reasonably spread apart, so we didn't expect to see all of them. I want to see the trolley museum and Fisherman's Wharf; maybe Ghirardelli Square, too. A lot of the kids on the team want to go to Chinatown, so we'll probably spend some great amount of time there, too.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

If you are relying on public transportation, try the BART system. It will take you from (at least Fremont, its been a while since I've taken BART, it may go further south than that now) to downtown SF. It is similar to the MARTA system in Atlanta.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

BART doesn't go as far south as San Jose, so we're planning on taking CalTrans up to the city, but we'll be reliant on public transit for getting around there as well. We're all used to public transportation since most of us use it pretty regularly to get around up here in Seattle (I don't even have a car), but the city's a lot bigger and we're not as intimately familiar with it, so we're trying to find an area that has a lot to offer and sticking around there.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Team 987 is all ready to go!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Man, I can't wait for SVR... Seems it will even be more diverse this year with 190 and 987 coming.. Only four more days...!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

1351 will definitely be there, looks to be another awesome year. Even more so if we work, thats usually a plus.

1072, too bad you guys missed the deadline for it, where are you going instead?

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Ditto with Borgel, 1351 will be at SVR. If you have time, take BART up to Berkley, its a fun town. Oh and for cheap food around San Jose State, you can grab a bite at La Victoria, really good food. Or for finer dining, El Fornaio or California Pizza Kitchen is also a good place.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Original Joe's, Gordon Biersch, PF Chang's, The Tied House, Spaghetti Factory, and lots of other good restaurants are within walking distance of the SJSU Event Centre, as well. :)

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Should be quite a regional indeed now with LA Winners Cheesy Poofs (and their 305 point Finals Match)... can't wait!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

And as far as more student related food goes for, last I remember there was a pizza place, a McDonalds, a Quiznos, and a few more fast food places within a few blocks from the even center. Very useful for those who didn't order concession food.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

There's a mexican place near the event center, I believe on San Salvador and 4th (maybe 3rd) that we got some great burritos at last year.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

That's the previously mentioned La Victoria (between 3rd and 4th on San Carlos). $10 will fill up 2-3 people with good food, easily (and they're open until 1-2am).

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

I CAN'T WAIT!! Oh, and thanks for the food advice.

2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Well with SVR only 2ish days away I must say I'm pretty excited. This is by far our best robot yet and last year we did pretty well losing in the finals. I know there is already a thread about SVR but it contains some off topic posts.

So I want to know from teams that are going to be there, what do you guys expect to see? Also, lets make this the official SVR update thread. Good luck to everyone that's going. I will see you all thursday.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

I'm predicting SVR to be one of the most ringer intensive regionals this season. I've been "spying" on a bunch of the websites of teams that are going and I see a LOT of arm bot, and not so many ramp bots, which makes me nervous. I think the "west coast" arm is going to be a consistent theme from what I've seen, even though our arm is nothing like it :p

It's going to be a fun regional, and I expect the action to pick up a lot from Thursday to Saturday, since to my knowledge only 7 of the 48 teams have had previous regional experience (114, 190, 192, 254, 488, 1070 and 1700)

Good luck every, I can't wait!

Mike C.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

SVR will be a fun, scoring intensive regional. PALY Robotics is really looking forwards towards unleashing Thor for the first time, and see how our arm holds up with the rest.

Mike, what exactly is the "west coast" arm? I've heard of the West Coast Offense before, but not west coast arm.

-Guy

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

For west coast arm: see team 60/254 in 04 and 254/22 in 05, i believe 60 did it even earlier that 04 but I haven't personally seen it. I could link to 4 other teams who are making "west coast arms" this year, but I'll let you find those on your own ;)

Only 2 days left!

Mike C.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Coming from one of the regional's 5 rookie teams, team 2135 is diving into the competition head-first. Most of us do not really know what to expect at all, but we're game for whatever's to come! I, personally, am excited to meet all of the other teams competing :)

We have a few things left to correct on our 'bot (wire gauges, etc. etc.), so hopefully we will finish in time for inspection.

For those going to SVR, look around for our team! Team 2135 Presentation Invasion :D

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Team 2024 is coming over from Hilo Hawaii with a two-bot lifter. Very unique design...you just have to drive up four to six inches into a tray and we pull you up the rest of the way up like a tow-truck on either side of us. We then pull the whole side up and use kickstands to stop the backdrive. Worked well on some bots we used several years ago but we'll see when we get there how it works on you folks! We've missed FIRST the last three years so we're coming in as a rookie with distant memories of how it all goes!

Aloha,

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

If you guys need any help, feel free to ask one of us from team #8. We've been around for a while, could probably lend a hand or a piece of advice if needed.

-Guy

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

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.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

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

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

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

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.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

By what you've seen today (Thursday), how do you think your robot will match up to the rest?

I think we'll do well. We've gotten up almost every ramp, and are able to get 5-7 tubes on per match. I especially like one match where the only tubes on the rack were six blues in a row, all hung by our team.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

They are a very friendly and humble team.
It's too bad we haven't come of late. The timing of week 3 was bad for us. We usually attend at least one regional together, but just not this year.

good luck to you all!:D

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

omg! i couldnt believe dean kamen was actually there!!! it was pretty exciting!!! our team got a picture with him and i have to say, my life is complete now!!! I LOVE YOU DEAN KAMEN!!!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

we are going to see him in May when he checks out the arena for the 2008 Hawaii regional!:p

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

ok, im gonna try to convince our team to go that regional

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Dean Kamen was there!? Another reason why I wish I could've been there yesterday.

Oh well, I'm all set to head out to the Event Center, ready for my first ever regional!:)

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Why isn't the webcast up? It says technical difficulties but it's almost lunch there, I want to see what's going on!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

What a day...

One keeper was scored today at SVR by 846, congrats to them.

Standings are currently unavailable, all I really know is that 115 is 38th out of 48 teams...tough day for us, half the drivetrain failed, forced us to be a no show for one match, and we faced 114 too many times, with that good robot that they have.

But I'm optimistic, we did better the last few matches, and we'll be ready to come back tomorrow with what we really got.

Other teams that did great in my opinion: 100, 254, 668, 190, 852 and there's probably some more, but I forget.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

How about the hawaiian team 368? Just curious as there is no access to results or video of today.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

They did fairly well in the competition (can't remember exact record), and also won two awards... congrats to them :)

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Any updates on awards? The FIRST site isn't displaying them.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Was it the website award, because they had an awesome website! :D

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Too bad that some of these teams (at least 190 and 254) are ranked lower than they should be.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Hey guys,
The SVR website currently doesn't have the match results for the mathes. Does anyone happen to have them? I don't even need the teams that played, just the final score.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

The match assigning system really messes up the correlation between ranking and robot ability. It's true for many teams, including those you mentioned (and us, and some other teams). Alliance selections will really showcase how well teams scout and make decisions.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

yea we're like the 25th seed and have the two highest scored matches at the regional (128-0 and 290-2).... we'll have to see if the top 8 evens itself out tomorrow.

as for who is solid i think 100, 114, and 668 stick out. well of course i say my own team but i seriously think we have been solid when our steering wheel wasnt borken haha. 254 is just gettign beat up out there. they're double teamed just about every match which is really hurting their scores. but they should still probabaly be chosen for the playoffs...

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Does anyone know how Team 987 is doing? They're my alma mater and it's driving me crazy that the scores aren't available. :ahh: Any info would be appreaciated- Thanks!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

They're currently seeded in the top 10 -- somewhere around 5 or 6, I think. We haven't run the data yet, but I imagine they're one of the best ringer-scoring machines at the event, alongside 100, 114 and 254.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

how about team 368? I heard you folks went out to dinner with them.:D

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

We invited the two teams that traveled from Hawaii to our hotel for a party and dinner last night. We had a great time meeting everyone and have been cheering them on all day.

I don't recall their exact seed, but I think they're somewhere in the teens right now. They have a good machine, but the scheduling seems like it has been working against some folks more than it should have.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Thank you.
There are 4 Hawaii teams this year. The other two will be in Vegas, including us. We also just finished competing in NJ and our team is still feeling the jet lag and missed schoolwork after being gone for a week and a half.

Good luck to you folks! We actually travel to Seattle every year after competing in a national electric car race every year in Portland. There is a team from Seattle called team sealth that competes against us every year!
We watch the Mariners and shop in Tualip?? at the outlet mall yearly!!:D and go to the casino's next door of course.......hehe.....

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Our robot is finally fully functional! We struggled today with programming but we had near final code for our last match today and our robot scored 4 tubes including one at the last second to tie the match. Tomorrow we should be scoring 5-6 a match now that the robot is fully functional.

The robots the stood out for me today were 488 and 190. Both teams have fantastic ramps and will be very important come elimination matches.

Good luck and have fun tomorrow!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Same as 766, we only finally now have a fully fucntional bot. We're looking to turn it on tomorrow and finally have it actually performing to its real level.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

1070 had the la regional to work out a majority of our kinks in the lift sytem but now, they are working next to perfect. also, we've been working on our defense...

im really looking forwards to tomorrow's matches...

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

We are an entirely defensive bot, we are currently ranked 5th. We seem to be pushin people around and makin it hard to score. But we can climb any ramp. Some good fun out there, playin defense. Come and stop by our pit.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

It's been a great regional so far, and I look forward to tommorow as I head off to sleep. The one thing that really keeps our team running to the level we've achieved is our meetings. Other teams could learn from this: it eliminates just about all og the chaos. After every match, no matter the outcome, no matter what, all memebers but the key scouters in the stands go off to a quiet corner and meet. It really keeps everyone involved, and it allows us to highlight all that needs to happen, to schedule who's in the pit when, and to refocus onto what we need to do.


And designing the robot before touching tools made us able to work with one heck of a machine.

Good luck to all teams tommorow!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Thank you!!! Hopefully the website will be working tomorrow. Wish I was there! Sounds like great fun! Believe me, you definitely miss this when you get to college. Good luck to all of the teams!

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

They are actually in the top 5, I believe they are seeded 3rd.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

What's the verdict on the competitiveness of this regional? Most competitive SVR yet? What about a run down on the current "all-stars." How is 488 doing? What kind of scores are being put up? Why haven't they uploaded the results to the website?

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

I can't speak to how more or less competitive things are this year than in years past, but so farm we feel as if things here are a bit less competitive than PNW was two weeks ago. In Portland, we saw none of the problems people reported in week two regarding robots missing matches and failing inspection and the like, but that sort of thing seems to be very prominent here in San Jose. As the day went on, things got better, naturally, but the ramp up took a lot longer than it did in Portland. Because our design requires some participating from other teams to be effective, today was a trying day for us.

We're doing okay. We are 3-2-1, I think, and have been pretty steadily improving our performance. I think we all underestimated how badly battered and bruised our machine was after PNW, so it took us a bit of time to get everything back in shape. Tomorrow, we expect to lift well in our remaining two qualifying matches and continue the trend we established this afternoon.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

I understand the desire to make sure your machine is in top condition, but this is a violation of <R21>. Just a heads up.

Good job today. You've got a great robot.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional

Overall SVR has been an interesting experience. I am really proud of 488 so far, the robot is more or less functioning as designed. It is tough depending on other teams for scoring, despite how easy you try to make it for them. Would I have advocated building a lifting robot if I had to do it again? Probably, but either way it is a lesson learned. Hopefully as the finals approach people will understand team's abilities despite the match performances. The match pairing algorithm is frustrating for most.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

The standings and match results are posted now on FIRST's site. http://www2.usfirst.org/2007comp/eve.../rankings.html

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Finally...now the rankings are actually useful for scouting purposes.

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

Did it go up, then go down?

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

still working for me, do you have the old page cached?

Re: 2007 Silicon Valley Regional
 

We did very well yesterday (5-1-0)
We were against 254 for two times during the Qualification matches, and either game was with super good robots, we thought.... "AHHH there goes our ranking" but surprisingly we won both, and both are so CLOSE!! Luckily for us , we got on the ramps both times, so thats 30 points by itself!
out of the 5 matches we won, 2 matches we had ringers stuck on our lift so we couldn't touch other ringers, and 1 match our ramp was hit by another robot, so it fell out in the beginning, so we can't "score" anything, good thing i think 2024 put a couple ringers and among with our other alliance , so in the end one of our alliance got on our ramp so we got to win the match. With our ramp design, we can still move and adjust position even with the ramp down! And when we don't need our ramps, we can easily detach them so our robot would be lighter and faster and it would be easier to climb on other ramps!!
during the match that we lost, it was like one on one considering our only alliance got DQed , but we still did pretty well, put we 3 ringers in a row, which was pretty good.
so of our 3 "no-problem" matches, we score 2-3 ringers.
we added something to the lift so ringers can no longer get stuck on the lift!
hope we can score a lot more today

Currently ranked 3 (the last time i checked at least), but we still have 2 more matches to go!

Good Luck everyone!!
