2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Did not see a 2008 Davis Sac Regional. thread We waited till late last year to have one. Team 1662 is looking forward to seeing all our old friends in March.

973 won't be able to see all our old friends, to close to SVR. I wish they hadn't moved the date... I like Davis.

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Seems to be a problem for a lot of other teams. So far only 21 teams are signed up.

1726 decided to go to LA this year, for a variety of reasons, we'll miss ya'all!

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Davis landed on our school's spring break this year. Too many people were going to be on vacation so we couldn't go :(

Depending on whether I'm doing anything that weekend I (and a few other people) might show up to watch and cheer for Eagle Strike.

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Yay! Our team is most likely going. I've been a bit removed from the activities (at a local alternative school), but it's one of our favorite regionals. Heck, I bet you might be able to stay with us if you wanted to be there for the whole thing. And besides, we can use all the cheering we can get!

Thanks, and looking forward to the build season!

1726 you will be missed by 1662. See you in Atlanta.

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

8 was going to go, but it's too close to both SVR and Vegas... oh well, see you guys in Portland!

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Are you looking forward to seeing all your new friends as well? :D Team 2144 will be going to Davis as our second regional right after Silicon Valley. (And that really is right after, isn't it? I hope FedEx is up for the challenge!) We can't wait!

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

115 will be there too! We managed to raise enough money to go again! Davis is always a fun regional :) I remember when Davis was back to back to SVR in 2006. Can't wait to do that again! :D See you all there!

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

We are ready for another year at Davis as well. I think filling those registration spots will be a bit slower this year with spring break and the easter holiday - but exciting nonetheless.

Even though it is so close, FedEx may not be you best bet unless you pay extra for quicker delivery. The crates get delivered to the event site Wednesday - usually in the morning or early afternoon, which means the crates really need to be at the drayage site end of the day Tuesday. Since FedEx doesn't work Sundays, that means the SVR crates won't get picked up until Monday in San Jose. Sure if everything is running smooth than it could show up on Tuesday, but one hick-up and you end up with a late crate. Since FedEx donates shipping, they are under no obligation to expedite these crates. This why FIRST usually recommends using Shepard Expo Services to take your crate between back to back regionals.

I remember back in 2002, they let a group of teams go in on a moving truck to get our crates from SVR to LA. That was like 10 teams, we each chipped in $100. I don't think they allow that anymore and have Shepard Expo Services take care of that.

997 can't decide whether to go to Davis or Seattle for our second regional. but I'm rooting for Davis, we might see you all there ;)

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

It's been decided we're going to davis, check SHOULD be on its way :)

had a bundle of fun last time and I absolutely loved the campus, and last years president will be making the trip over from Stanford for the competition, nice to get the old team back together :D

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

Awesome!! Where else will you be competing this year?

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

What about you guys?
