Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional

Thanks in advance

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Winners = 100, 997, 1458
#1 seed alliance, we seeded second and got picked by 100
Chairmans = 1359

don't know the others right off the top of my head
but yeah
that's 2 regionals we won this year :-) :-)
It was SUCH a tough competition

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Yeah, the master of ceremonies said is was the hardest competition he'd seen of the past weeks.

I was really impressed by 701s performance. They are made up of almost entirely freshman, but they placed second and took home the Driving Tomorrow's Technology award for their work with carbon fiber.

Look out next year, this carbon fiber stuff is only going to get bigger with the Robovikes.

Congrats to everyone to make this regional so intense, and special thanks to the Chairman winners.

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Thank you to everyone that was there, that was an intense competition. And a huge thanks to alliance 8, 1662, 295, 1726, for that 5 round streak. awesome job to all of you. and of course, our alliance. 100, awesome scoring bot as well as awesome, nice, fun people. 997, your elevators are incredible, as well as being a great D bot, on top of having a cool, professional team. thanks again to everyone who was with and against us in qualifyings, as well as everyone in the finals.

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Yes, I would like to say some of the same things as Alekat:

Team 701 was awesome out there today, Great job! I was very impressed that a team built almost entirely out of new members could continue building the same quality of robot that we (the alumni) spent 3-4 years learning how to make!
Props to our Allies 852 and 2035 as well!
and congrats to 100, 1458 and 997 -- you guys were a very good opponent and definitely deserved the title... it was a good clean game, fair and square and most importantly INTENSE -- it could have gone either way ... making it very suspenseful for us poor audience members

So this is our teams 2nd straight silver @ Davis
We'll be back next year ... 3rd times the charm as they say.

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

What an amazing regional that was! I would have to say that was a lot more intense than SVR for sure.

Like I figured, 115 really did improve at this regional, we still had some bad luck, but we had some awesome matches, and the team had a lot of fun. And winning two awards on Friday, that was just amazing.:)

And Alliance 8 really surprised me there, especially in their first match against Alliance 1, seeing both 100 and 997 knocked over really caught me off guard, the whole place just went crazy when that happened.:eek:

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

People also went nuts when the yellow cad was given for flipping both 997 and 100 with an arm...

In this regional alone there were 2 yellow cards given, all today! :ahh:

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Congrats to all the teams at this regional for all their hard work.

We at Team 115 are really happy with our team's improvement from SVR to Davis, going from a bottom 10 team to getting picked for eliminations. ( In the last qualification match we scored 4 ringers and a spoiler, which was the highlight of the day for us).

A special thanks goes out to team 1351, TKO for supplying us with not one but two carrier plates for the banebots transmission, once in SVR, and once in Davis. (Banebots "new and improved" carrier plates seemed to fail as well) Thanks guys, you really saved us.

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

The yellow card wasn't even given then. the next match they rammed 100 again so our alliance leader talked to the referees about it.

What was the second yellow card?

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Last match there was a second yellow card given to the team that tipped 100. I saw the ref throw it, as well as a blue flag.

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

outstanding event
really intense. had to be one of the best. really dissapointed we didnt get picked for the finaly matches. our first round on friday we lost due to a penalty by another team on our alliance, another round we lost 4-5, our team contributing the only points there. i thought we were a very well rounded team, but thats the way things work. i am really impressed with all the teams and their support for each other. Big thanks to all the teams that helped us out in giving us replacement banebot transmissions:100(great job this year guys), 753, 1726, and 114.

well there is much more to talk about im sure, ill be back on here tomorrow most likely, right now its time to get some much needed sleep!


p.s.--
how about that pit announcer? "Hurry up and leave, im hungry and want to eat!" what is that all about, common now!

Haha, she's a friend of mine. You just have to take those comments with a sense of humor :)

I think she was also tired of having to announce the UL safety excerpts every once in a while.
