Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

I would like to see a match where 1261, 343, and 1251 compete together. That is domination. I'd definetly pay to see that match. :D And as for catching goes, we can shoot, who's willing to catch????

Congratulations to 1251 for their win in Florida. Team 1261 hopes to work with you in the future/palmetto. :D

Congratulations to team 343 for their win in Peachtree. Team 1261 looks forward to meeting you on the field.

I've also seen that 1319 will also be in attendance. I wonder if they'll be able to keep their winning streak alive...:D

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional Catching a hurdle?
 

Well its not illegal, it just doesn't count. In the rules it states that a ball is counted as hurdled after it has gone over the overpass and come into contact with the ground or another robot prior to it contacting the hurdler of said ball.

While it does count if a team were to throw it over the overpass into a fellow alliance members possession, I have not seen or heard of this being accomplished.

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

I have seen a team throw it over and catch it and that alliance would own i dont even care but of them would have to make laps and I dont think we are willing to do that

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

that would be why we haven't run that option, brent:cool:. and if we did, we would be the shooting part of it.

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

Does anyone know how strict they are at Clemson about food? I was dying of thirst at Florida but they wouldn't let any food into the new stadium. I might even throw candy into the crowd if they let me
[I though it would be awesome to launch candy into the crowd with our robot. Will defiantly do this in the post season:yikes: ]

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

im not sure about littlejohn and the staff there are about outside food, but first is strict about that as far as i know...

I just posted a video of our robot, "El Tigre Loco" at the Florida Regional.

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

Here is my prediction for Palmetto Regional.

Team 1251 will seed #1 and get together with 343 and that will be the alliance to stop. If everything goes right and none of the robots break, they both will taste another gold.

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

na, I see 343 teaming up with their proven partners 1319 and sister team 342. 1251 will make it to the Palmetto finals again, but will fall again against the shear awesome of this alliance:p JK
But I do seriously expect to see all 4 of these teams in the finals in some combination.

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

Thanks for the compliments and consideration. I'm having trouble sleeping at night just thinking about the regional.

As far as food, events are pretty adamant about the outside food coming in. We have been known to get some water into venues for our drivers/coaches. When you hit the finals it's non-stop action. They need to be hydrated or they pass out.:eek:

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

I would love to see a finals including 343, 342, 1319 and 1251, seeing as 342, 1319 and 1251 were all in the palmetto finals last year, adding 343 to the mix could only serve to make it that much more exciting!
(BTW love you post time :P )

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

This is off subject, but a good thread to put it in. In an attempt to get more community involvement and support, we have worked out a deal with the manager at the Arby's in Clemson (1066 Tiger Blvd, a.k.a. Hwy 123). If anybody from the robotic teams come in this weekend, Team 343 will get 10% of the sales. Just have the cashier write "Team 343" on your receipt. We would appreciate it:)

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

I am definetly making an Arby's run now! :D

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

how well do teams attending clemson's regional autonumus/hybrid work 343's is good but should be a lot better by the end of the weekend

Re: 2008 Palmetto Regional
 

So far i think a really good alliance would be 343 1251 and another team that would be an ownage and one of those teams would have to be number 1 seed for that to happen
