Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

We just watched the match 45 video during our scouting meeting tonight - epic!! Unforunately I didn't bring a firewire cable to download somewhere. I'm sure video will be up on soap in the near future.

987 had another great match at the end tonight, match 58 I think, not so high scoring as it was a bunch of scoring in the last 30 seconds.

We had a fun match with 330 in the morning, doing the double hurdle... This has been a cool regional. Don't ask about match 29 - what a boondoggle - but I must say the head referee has done a great job of being calm and listening to teams and wanting to get the call right.

Looking forward to Saturday.

Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

Great regional everyone! Hope to see many of you back here in SoCal for Los Angeles!

Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

Congrats to 294, 968, and 1717. You guys rock.

330, 987, and 2034, you didn't do too bad either.

Hopefully our streak of bad luck will change in two weeks... good luck to everyone who's coming to LA.

Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

Congrats to all for what might have been the most intense regional of the weekend. Does anyone have pictures (or video) of the robots, especially the likes of 987, 968, 1717 and so on?

Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

Even though I'm a long distance/allumni/can't get rid of mentor on 294, I was there for SD.

When I saw who the alliances were, I knew it would make for an epic finale. However, as riercely competitive as I am, It made me sad knowing no matter what teams I love would lose with great robots.

I never thought after beating teams such as 330 and 987, and doing at on such an awesome alliance, I would be saddened.

Overall, most exciting regional I have been involved at in a long time. I really hope 330 and 987 get some hardware at LA/Vegas as they have such amazing machines.

Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

Man, San Diego was an awesome regional. Congrats on the High Rollers and Beach Bots for putting up an EPIC final round (and high rollers, great match 45, that was lots of fun too), congrats 1717 and RAWC, semi-finals were great and you guys were amazing in the finals, great win. Overall, San Diego really impressed me in how smoothly the event was run and the epicness of the final rounds.

Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

I have videos of everything, from the official feed. (I was surprised there were only 2 or 3 people recording it.) I will get it uploaded as soon as I can.

Note though that I do not have a lot of time available, so if there's anyone out there who could help me with editing, that would be much appreciated (please email or PM me). The idea is that I would send you however much raw video you could handle, and you would edit it down to just the matches. Without help, it'll get done; with help, it'll get done faster.

Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

AJ,

I reccomend you post on the official blue alliance forum, or in the archiving recorded regionals thread in the scouting forums. I think you're bound to find help there.

Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

First of all, we (Team 1717, D'Penguineers) thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our working alliance with teams 968 RAWC and 294 Beach City Robotics. Also, we are grateful for all of the support we received from other teams to cheer on the Blue Alliance in the final rounds. The penguins united as the Cyber Penguins Team 585 joined us throughout the day to celebrate and imitate our beloved bird, while many teams came down to the field to keep the energy high and invite all of the other teams to join in the great fun. We appreciate all of your enthusiasm and support!

Congratulations also to Teams 812, 1566, 2599 which won Chairman's, Engineering Inspiration, and Rookie All-Star respectively, and thus qualified for Atlanta. We look forward to seeing you there.

As everyone who saw the San Diego finals probably knows, the final rounds were a great and exciting contest, which continued to the bitter end. Many congratulations to Teams 330, 987, and 2034, and best of luck in any future regionals or events. We were honored to have the opportunity to compete with these amazing teams.

Also, thanks to teams 330, and 980 for helping us with parts and ideas throughout the competition, and team 2543 for providing our drivers with water during the final rounds.

We look forward to seeing teams at the Los Angeles Regional in two weeks, and then at Championships in April!

Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

Congratulations to the Penguineers for an outstanding performance in San Diego. Your team has moved rapidly into the ranks of truly great FIRST teams.

The finals were just incredible! All of the teams involved in the final matches (Red and Blue Alliance) gave maximum effort and put on a tremendous display of robot capability, driver skill and coaching. We look forward to seeing you in LA and later in Atlanta.

Re: 2008 San Diego Regional
 

I would like to thank Team 399 for personally taking the time to make those cool little awards, and giving one of them to us (Most Organized: Major Props to Daniel Turvey, the Team OCD that kept everything organized :D).And also Team 599, Sacrificing Viewing/Free Time in order to assist all of the teams at San Diego with their awesome Robot First Aid Station.


I am looking forward to seeing both of these teams in LA and everyone else in the LA Regional Competition.
