See you all there, should be interesting. Guessing not many other teams had to travel as far as we did. Lucky local teams. =P

Re: CalGames 2007 full with 30 teams!
 

And as of 10:30 PM, everything was completed. Field, field control system, A/V.

I think this is the earliest we've ever left the night before.

congratulations guys, and thanks 100 for hosting. it was a great event. see you at kickoff!

Re: CalGames 2007 full with 30 teams!
 

We had great fun at our first Cal Games, and would like to thank Woodside for being such great hosts and everyone who attended and made it such a great event. Although we didn't make it to the finals, the games were a lot of fun and really helped our new members learn about the competition. We look forward to seeing all of you next season now that we have some experience under our belts!

Re: CalGames 2007 full with 30 teams!
 

Thanks and congratulations to everyone who made Cal Games a great event!

Wanna know why everything went so smoothly? Because you guys all helped! It was great to see so many dedicated volunteers and team members working hard to set-up and tear down.

Also a big thanks to WRRF for putting on such a fun event and such useful workshops.

And of course, I must thank our amazing alliance partners 254 and 852. I honestly don't know how we managed to pick such an amazing alliance, had we been at the championships I think we could have won :D

Also, a big shout out to all the teams that had to travel excessive distances to compete - like 997, 973, 980, 692, 852, 701 and any of the other Sacramento-area teams.

Also, where was Harker 1072? I didn't see their robot.:(


With luck, spinmunky will be updating all our videos to TBA and Youtube (including the on-board feed from our robot :D)

CalGames was awesome. Thanks again to team 100 for hosting, and congrats for the victory 100, 254, 852. Hopefully we'll see many of you guys at the December workshops, and if not at Kick-off!

Re: CalGames 2007 full with 30 teams!
 

Can we see results of the finals rankings and standings?

Re: CalGames 2007 full with 30 teams!
 

Ken probably has this information. After he takes some well deserved time to rest, I'm sure he'll post the rankings and awards and such.

Re: CalGames 2007 full with 30 teams!
 

Essentially, our robot died. Things got worst as we all tried to troubleshoot it. So we eventually gave up on it. It couldn't even move. D':

However, I really had a great time at calgames though the entire team was pulling their hair out. Congrats to all of the winning teams and thanks for hosting it team 100.

Re: CalGames 2007 full with 30 teams!
 

CAL games this year was great! Although we did not make it to the elimintaions, it was fun and helpful for our new drivers.
Congratulations to all the teams that won awards. Congratulations to 100, 254, and 852 for winning.
Most importantly, thanks to everyone who made this event possible by helping out. Thanks to 100 for being a great host, Ken, and WRRF for putting on this great event.

Re: CalGames 2007 full with 30 teams!
 

That's wonderful! Does anybody have any photos they could upload of the event? There were so many wonderful machines that I really wanted to take a closer look at but never found a moment to. I would also love to see photos of the event, the teams, the matches, just everything! You all made the day so fast-paced, exciting, and welcoming that I was too busy being happy to ever even take my camera out of the bag. Thanks so much.

Cal Games 2007 was a really great high-quality action packed event! I had lots of fun. Thanks to the event organizers and all the volunteers and teams that made it possible.

If anyone has any videos of the matches, if you could get them online and link us up that would be great! Thanks.

Re: CalGames 2007 full with 30 teams!
 

If anyone has video, let me know. I can put in the The Blue Alliance system.

Re: CalGames 2007 full with 30 teams!
 

CalGames was fun. The competition, the seeing people we hadn't seen in a while, the training of freshies, etc. I have to admit, watching/helping 840 scramble to get a new transmission on in time for match 15 was fun (albeit kind of stressful). We gave them our spare tranny and told them to sit out of match 15 so they could repair their 'bot, but due to field delays and such, they made it down to the field JUST in time for the match (With about 30 secs until the bots were to take the field).

Getting freshman trained on various facets of robotics competitions (Preventive Maintenance, scouting, etc) was also kind of interesting, in a somewhat sad sort of way. Sure, I trained freshmen, but while doing so I also realized that I only have two more builds with the team, and then I'd be gone and off to school in Arizona.

Ah well, I ramble. Thanks to all the teams that showed up, Congrats to those who won, And thanks to the WRRF and Team 100 for making this event possible. I can't wait to see you all at SVR/Davis '08.
