Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

On behalf of team 39, I would like to thank team 60 for picking us, and also team 1165 for their hard efforts.

I also want to congratulate every team that participated in AZ, especially teams 1212, 1164, and 1492.

Arizona Was a great Regional this year, but next year would definitely be better, and more fun.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

Great news! I have the footage for all of the matches now, I will be uploading them during this week to SOAP and TBA. Playoffs will be first, then matches, and finally awards. There will be a few oddities in match footage so I'll warn you now; match 29 will be up twice because it had to be replayed on Saturday, there's at least one match where the final score was not displayed on screen (this can be found from TBA or FIRST instead though), and we are missing one of the semifinal matches for some reason (I think semi 2-1, have to check).

We've gone through the DVD forms we received and we've got 21 teams signed up currently (better than in the past, but still less than half the regional). Teams we have forms from:
57
60
125
842
1164
1165
1290
1324
1456 (missing e-mail)
1492
1515
1633
1828
1897
2196 (missing e-mail)
2365
2403
2486
2570
2657
2662

If your team isn't on this list and you'd like a DVD please respond in this thread, message me, or e-mail me with your:
Team number
Team name
Contact name
E-mail
(optionally) Phone number

If we're missing your e-mail you may want to resend contact info since it is easier communicating through e-mail. Teams on the list can resend info if they think they might have given a bad e-mail or something too; sometimes these can take until close to the end of the school year to get out, meaning we'll have trouble reaching you if your contact isn't available in the summer.

We also welcome requests from any teams who didn't come to the AZ Regional but would like a copy of the DVD anyway, maybe it can help convince you to come compete at this great event next year!

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

Ooops. Looks like Team 2449 - Out of Orbit, didn't make the list. We'd really like a copy!

I can PM you with detailed contact info.

Thanks a ton!

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

FYI, I thought I'd post this in here as well as some showcase thread elsewhere on the forum.

I took all of my video and photo footage from this season, and the AZ regionals and created a Tribute Video for Team 2449.

The medium-res version is on YouTube, but I have a higher-res version available also ... just trying to figure out if there's interest and how I might distribute a 235 MB MPEG-2 file.

Here's a link to the YouTube version ... Hope you like it!

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

The Arizona Regional was a great time. We want to thank all the teams that helped us through our first regional. There was some amazing designs that impressed everyone. We are looking forward to next year. Unfortuantly as a rookie team we wont be going to Atlanta. We came close, but not close enough.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

So the regional has long been over, but I have something that cannot go unsaid.
I would like to thank all teams for a great competition.
125 came in to the competition in a pinch and in need with a late robot and a lack of tools. Any team there that we asked for anything was very gracious in helping us out. I would like however to point out 3 teams that went above and beyond our call for help. Teams 498 698 and 842. Team 498 and 698 had boxes of spare parts and various essential robot items ready for us when we arrived... that is impressive and I cannot express how much 125 appreciated this. Team 842 being right across the aisle in the pits from us took us under their wing for the entire competition. From lunch everyday, to any tool in their pits, to help programing a compressor, these guys did not stop giving. Because of the efforts of these teams 125 was able to get on its feet after a late start and have the robot tuned and working for the finals. 842, you guys really are a class act and completely deserve the chairman's award.
Now, with one competition under our belt we will be better prepared and fully functional for Boston in a couple weeks.
Again, thank you to all teams at Arizona for a great competition and one of the best displays of the ideals of FIRST that I have seen in my time in the program.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

It was very cool to see 125 come out and do well at the end, you guys would have most likely dominated most of your qualifing matches.

Awesome job to all the rookie teams, very impressive to see how many there were this year.

For those who have been watching, matches have been appearing on soap the past few days, so go watch them and show your friends!

Next year shall be great, hopefully az can organize some more events like dual in the desert, those are always great.

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

Well, everyone was watching over you. We were glad that you had not been picked by one of the teams for the finals. When our alliance got to pick you as the third team, I thought we had a champion alliance. 39 has one fantastic robot and are just about impossible to stop. They are a good group of kids with a killer robot. We meet them again in L.V.

Best of luck in Boston and hopefully we can all meet in Atlanta.

Allan

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

You are very welcome! If we ever lose our bot when ever we go to Boston we will look you guys up!
Good Luck in Boston coming up!

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

I would like to thank everyone in Arizona.

Our formal statement can be read here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ht=125+Arizona

We really and truly appreciate everything that everyone has done for us! I have never seen just a helpful environment! You folks out in Arizona know how to help people out that are in a jam and show them a GREAT time!

Good luck and hopefully we'll cross paths again! You ever come out east and need some help give us a shout and we'll do everything we can!

THANK YOU!!!

Re: 2008 Arizona Regional
 

Team #2380 Jag Robotics would love a copy of the video!

Please PM me and I can send you our info.

Thanks for doing this!! :-)

Arizona Regional Photos now online
 

Hi everyone,

I was asked to be one of the official AZ Regional Photographers and have gotten all of my photos online. It is set up so that if anyone wants to order photos/photo gifts etc online.... it is quick and easy.

Please keep in mind I didn't get all of the teams unfortunately due to team issues that I needed to be a part of, but I did get a lot of pics. I do know there were others taking photos, if you do not see your team in this grouping of pics. I am pretty sure you will hear of others probably going online.

PM me if you have any specific questions.

You can view the photos by going to:
