Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional
 

I pretty much have to say that was a AWESOME experience. No one on our team I think really thought we would get that far, being a rookie and all. Our arm almost broke once ore twice which was rather scary,but expected. It was so cool getting to see all the other robots and meeting all sorts of new people. Thanks to all the teams who helped us out, that was a blast! can't wait for next year :D . fyi the little penguine tied to the side of our robot did survive ;)

That round was unbelievably awesome for my team, although it was luck that we managed to knock off both balls it was still a great moment.

This is a little belated but thanks on behalf of Team 766 to everyone at Davis for a great competition! We were impressed by many of the other robots, especially among rookie or sophomore teams. Those of you with numbers in the 2000s and already captaining alliances into the finals are no doubt going to be winning Chairman's awards in the near future :D Some of my personal favorites were 1388 with their hammer – I've had a soft spot for rotating catapults since 2006 – and 2122 with their enormous flop-bot.

Also, I want to thank and congratulate our alliance partners, 2035 and 1147. We played some simply amazing matches and had a great time working with such friendly and enthusiastic teams. Special thanks to 2035 for picking us out of 7th place, for executing great strategy, and for knocking us free from the central divider in the match where our auton went haywire. Your robot was pure awesome and I've been an admirer of it since SVR. We'll look forward to seeing you all next year!

i thought that UC Davis was great! yeah, i wish 1388 won in the final, but at least we won the E.I. i did see that the refs were kinda picking on us and when there were time when we were blocked even over the 6 second rule, they wernt called whihc really made me mad. i also did not like the announcer (not the guy in the actual field, but the guy that was "the disembodied voice"). that guy was just annoying. "the robots have taken over the world"? "the zebras are huddling"? "1...2....3.... charge"? why couldnt he have just said go? but ya, UC Davis was the bomb. btw, thanks 1662 for being so cool to us. also thanks to our alliance partners. you guys were awesome!
