Can you post more details? What schools are coming?

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

Just curious, who would plan on attending our event that Friday?

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

The list of colleges, universities and vocational schools participating in the College Fair will be posted on the FRC CT regional website as the date draws closer - www.ctfirst.org/frc_events

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

The Connecticut College Fair (tentative) list has been posted at: http://www.ctfirst.org/frc_events/2008_collegefair.html

Please tell your parents, students, mentors, guidance counselors to attend the fair! We've brought these colleges in just for YOU to make it easy for you to ask questions, etc. They are interested in learning about FIRST and about YOU - so please make every effort to stop by the fair!

Hi All,

358 from Hauppauge NY is looking forward to attending again! We're in much better shape this year as the robot was actually mechanically/electrically complete prior to shipment!!

I know with all the teams this is asking a bit much, but...
Does anyone know if there will be a practice field (or at least 1/4 practice field) that allows for hybrid mode - overpass work?


Thanks in advance.

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

I've just seen some 'secret' videos of the teams coming to this regional.

177 is absolutely. positively. ridiculous.
Be afraid.
Be very afraid.

That is all for now.

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

Looks like you are having a good weekend at the NJ regional. Look forward to seeing you in Hartford!!

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

Yea, things are working really well for us so far. We are 4-1 and hope to continue the streak. See you all at the Hartford Regional!!!

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

Any predictions on CTR? This thread has been real quiet lately.

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

I have a few predictions:

The high score will be 130ish.
The finals will be decided by 10 points or less each match.
Shooters will dominate.

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

I agree with the first prediction, but disagree with the second two.

After watching the BAE (Granite State Regional) semifinals and finals, I'm guessing most elimination scores at CTR will range between 50 and 120 points before penalties.

And when it comes to shooters vs arms vs herders, effective and consistent robots will dominate. That depends as much on their method of trackball acquisition and driver skill, as the mechanism used to make the trackball score.

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

Any news on if it's a double regional or not? I haven't heard anything definitive.

Re: 2008 Connecticut Regional
 

It's not. I thought this was announced officially.
