CalGames 2009
 

Who's pumped? :D This is gonna be a very competitive event!

3 Regional Finalists, 4 Regional Champions, 1 World Champion, and 1 IRI Finalist.

As of today registration is full with 36 teams! (1678 is on the waiting list)

Can't wait to see everyone there! :yikes:

Re: CalGames 2009
 

I believe 9999 has recieved the team number 3129.

Re: CalGames 2009
 

Unfortunately, the IRI Finalist (Team 980) had to withdraw from the event (we lost our drive team to SAT tests).

Re: CalGames 2009
 

604,100,971 alliance again, anyone? Haha.

Our team can't wait.

Re: CalGames 2009
 

Yeah we lost a massive chunk of our team to SAT's this year as well. Bad timing I guess.

We'll have rookies driving for Cal Games.

Re: CalGames 2009
 

Where does this take place?

Re: CalGames 2009
 

Sounds like fun :) We'll have to see how things play out. I think this year's bot might seed a bit higher than last year's so it would be harder to get together...

I'm definitely excited! 971 has been working hard on training a new driver for Calgames and making the bot even better.

I'm 99% sure your bot this year will seed higher than last year's, too. Haha.

Nice hopper addition, by the way ;)

Re: CalGames 2009
 

I'd wager 99% sure that 971's robot will not only do better than last year, but win the event.

Changes? Worked fine before :P

Re: CalGames 2009
 

Meh. It was hard for the human player to throw balls in the hopper. And the hopper jammed some, so we didn't always collect as many balls before dumping as we could have. I guess the moral of the story is that you can always find something to fix up if you have time. And if the students are excited about working on the bot, why not?

Re: CalGames 2009
 

"Fine" is not perfect.

There's always improvements that can be made.

Re: CalGames 2009
 

I meant that as a bit of a joke, that their uchanged robot "did fine" being World Champions and all. :) I guess I should explain myself better late at night. Best of luck to you guys!

Re: CalGames 2009
 

That sucks :( We'll miss having you guys here! Its always great when Out-of-state and SoCal teams show up to CalGames.

Hopefully we can play you guys again in the finals some time ;)

Re: CalGames 2009
 

Yeah, it was a big disappointment when we realized that we weren't going to be able to compete this year. Woodside is an awesome facility and this year's team list is amazing. Team 980 has had an epic time at CalGames over the years. It's a fun event and especially intense in the elimination rounds. I'll be up there to enjoy the action!!
