2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Who is coming to the Peachtree Regional in Georgia this weekend? It should be a lot of fun as usual! We look forward to seeing ya'll there and competing with and against you. Dave

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

We will be there. Its looking like it will be another great competition.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I found out yesterday I will be coming up there to help out 1369. I suppose that means I need to come up with a Minotaur chant since I won't be able to Oink with my team not there. Lol. I'm looking forward to a fun regional! :)

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

343 is sending some volunteers to peachtree. im not going, but a couple of us are going. im gonna tell them to do a little scouting :D.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

lets make sure the bot is up to par with 1902's.....then figure out a chant :)

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Does anyone know why the webcast for Peachtree isn't up yet? Are they just going to put it up for qualification and elimination matches?

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I had the same question about the web cast

It is strange that it's not in the NASA website since it is a NASA Regional

I was looking forward to doing a little scouting over the web for Palmetto and cheering on for my good friends of 845

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Wow! This is the first time that I've seen PVC as part of the main mechanism and that is not a good thing. (Tubes slipping out.)

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

What about the controllers everyone's using!!
Walking around the pits i have seen a ton of xbox 360 controllers...

Also the RoboLions (team 1261) is using a Guitar Hero controller to control their robot!

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

He's offering donuts to the first team to place a spoiler???


WHY AM I NOT AT PEACHTREE ?!?!?!

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I dunno about that but him & Sir Charles said a box of donutsfor filling the whole top level...

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Is it just for the top level? I thought it was for any whole level...O well I guess I will just have to pay to get fat.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Oh man. I really hope Sir Charles is going to like what we are doing for him tomorrow.
We are making these huge posters with all his old catch phrases. And we are also having signs up saying we love him.
In short, we are at ptree and Sir Charles is the MAN.
If anyone needs any help, let us know.
another thing is, I didnt think the scoring would be this high at ptree. It seemed that overall, ptree has higher scores.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

How about Troy? For his first year he's doing realy well...

Hey...have you guys seen forsyth alliance's "segway chariot"?

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Don't you love it ?
;)

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

^^ Alliance partners....1746 and 1057, you guys are awesome. We did great in the quarterfinals, but just couldnt hold it together in the semis. Oh well, we look forward to seeing you both next year.

It is any level....our alliance scored the bottom row in the quarterfinals, and donuts are going to be sent to the respective schools.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

yeah that was a sweet match...

Thanks to Otto and 1057 for being there for us and all of the teams. This was a great experience and I know that I will be returning to this competition for as long as I can. :)

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

our alliance (1127 and 1369) got a row of 8 on the bottom in one match. i think it was the highest score of the day (260).

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Congratulations on the score in that round and your victory. That alliance was pretty impressive.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Congrats to all award winners and finalists. Thanks to all the teams, I had an awesome time at the regional. Can't wait to see everyone at peachtree next year.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I got a picture before all points were tallied, showing 256-0. Was this you?

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

That wasn't our match...We were blue, one of the tubes was a keeper, and we had another tube on the middle level to get the other 4 points to make it 260... I'm not sure what match that was, or who was in it. I think it was probably a qualifying match though.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

That was the last match of the 1st seed / 8th seed quarterfinals.

Unfortunately, the 260 was one of our semifinal matches (and we were the other alliance :( )

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Congrats to everyone at Peachtree on a great weekend. This was the most competitive year yet. Everyone did a great job.

Congrats to 1127,1369,1539,1848
You guys were impressive and put on a great show in the finals.
It is an amazing feeling when a child (1848) wins an events

Also a big CONGRATS to team 1311 Kell Robotics for the 2007 Peachtree CA.
Great job and I am proud to see the CA stay in Cobb County.

We will see everyone at Championships in April.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

It was for any level and we collected on that promise - maybe we'll bring 'em to next years event to share with everyone!

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I wanted to say thanks to our alliance partners, 1007 and 1644. You guys were great. I hope you had as much fun as I did.

I would also like to congratulate the 1369/1127/1539/1848 alliance. You were amazing/scary to watch. I hope you all do well at the championship.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Hah... I hope that's a good scary...

Thanks, we'll do our best to represent peachtree at championships.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I would like to thank 281 and 1398 for our short but fun run in the eliminations.

Also congratulations to 1127/1369/1848 for winning the regional. It will be fun seeing ya'll at nationals again. Also congratulations to 1848 for playing the best defense on us out of the whole competition.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Its a little bit scary to be on the 0 side of a 260-0 match.
Definitely good scary though.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

No, that was our (1746, 1261, and 1057) second quarterfinals round. It was the first full 8 scored (1848's was a couple matches later), and the blue alliance got a 15-point lift bonus, for a final score of 256-15. Sure was an exciting match....1746 and us scored the last two ringers at the exact same time: with about two seconds left :)

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

So... When are we gonna get together to share these donuts guys!

We have Troys card, he said to drop him a note when we're ready!

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Next year? :p Haha, I think he was just going to send a couple dozen to each team.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

This was awesome match even if I was on the losing side. CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS OF PEACHTREE.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I believe 1369 surprised everyone with a working autonomous in the finals. You could thank our programmers with the deadly arm dance in previous matches. I couldn't believe they pulled it off in the first match of finals. Other then that thanks and good job to 1127, 1539, and 1848 for literally pushing the alliance to the top of the Peachtree.

Btw, Does anybody have a picture of the scoreboard of that 260-0 match?

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

i've got a video of it here:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...09212693309003
not sure if i have a picture of the scoreboard

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

1848 definitely extends a huge thanks to your programmers and your entire team. I have to say autonomous period throughout eliminations was so exciting, waiting to see if you guys would track the light and get the keeper on. It seemed like every match the lights were just getting a little bit farther away than the previous match.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I should be doing my Lit homework but that can wait....

To all teams congrats
To Otto, you guys were awesome. Your robot was amazing and it was a lot of fun (as usual) hanging out with you guys.

Congrats to Matthew and the rest of 1414 to winning the AVA and spirit awrd... again lol

Congrats to Mr. Tate and the rest of the Gady Gearbox Gangsta's for what you guys have done for the regional and volunteering and all that you guys have done.

To the winning alliance, you guys were flat out awesome. I was just amazed how well you guys worked togther as a group.
To the GRA, team Soup (soup stands for nothing at all), it was fun hanging out with you guys again. I am SO proud of you guys. It turns out our ritual chest bumps worked lol.
You guys were nothing short of awesome. That goes for the entire alliance.

To 1533, Triple Strange, it was awesome hanging out with some of your members, congrats on making the finals. Your robot was awesome and also good job winning the entrprnuership award.

And speaking of finalists, congrats to Kell High School, another finalist who won the Chairman's Award and are keeping it in Cobb County lol. CONGRATULATIONS.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I had a blast up there this weekend. Definitely was worth the trip up there over spring break. Congrats to 1369 and their partners, I'm really happy for your victory, you guys made quite a showing.

I also wanted to extend a congrats to team 1611, the entire team worked nonstop throughout the regional and I was incredibly impressed by both the mentors and the students hard work. It was amazing getting to watch those guys and gals do their thing.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

To our Alliance partners Forsyth Alliance (Team 1746) and the RoboLions (Team 1261), Thanks for the awsome run at regional!

btw the "Segway Chariot" was an awesome touch to the Forstyth Alliance
and RoboLions nice way to "rock out" the control scheme...

see you guys next year...

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

right back at you guys, i had a load of fun

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Alright, I've got a request.

This year in particular, there was a pretty good overlap between the rosters for Peachtree and Palmetto. My data indicates 281, 538, 845, 1051, 1102, 1287, 1369, 1398, 1539, 1746, and 1758 are going to both. Of those, I currently know of pictures for 538 (though a clearer one wouldn't hurt), 1369, and 1746. If you've got any of the others, I'd love to see 'em on CD-Media. (Or your choice of photo uploading service, I'm not picky.)

(And if you post a link here, you'll be declared officially awesome.)

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I will upload just for you Billfred.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

the one pic you already have of OTTO is the best one I have at the moment, my dad only stayed and took pics one match
someone else on my team may have better pictures, i hope so atleast

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Sorry, I don't have any pics of our robot, but I'll see what I can do when we get it back and uncrate it.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

I would like to say congrats to 1311 for chairman's award. i would also like to thank 1002 our parent team for starting us and funding/mentoring us this year. and congrats on your two engineering inspiration awards! you guys really earned both of them.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

can anyone tell me where i can find videos of the matches, particularly the elimination rounds?
SOAP has all the awards videos up now, but non of the matches

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Actually, they only have the awards from Saturday, not any from Friday, like Innovation in Control, Driving Tomorrow's Technology, etc.

But yeah I'd like to see the matches up as well.

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

Does anyone have access to the rest of the match results (particularly the Eliminations). I really need them!

Re: 2007 Peachtree Regional - Discussion
 

If someone finds out where to get videos of the Peachtree matches, I would like to get some of those.
