Silicon Valley Regional is going to be very exciting this year! There will be at least 2 regional winners, team 47 and team 254, and one of the Sacramento regional finalist, team 1120, at this completition, plus many othe teams that did very well at Sacramento Regional, Portland Regional, Arizona Regional, and winners from previous year's California Robot Game, team 258, 852.
Personally, its going to be great seeing the WRRF teams competing again. Teams from out of state may not know about WRRF, but Western Region Robotics Forum has been an organization of teams in the Bay Area who got together a few years ago and decided that as a group, we can better support Robotics education related programs out here. There are lots of great people to meet , you simply have to go around the pit area and talk to them.
Oh yeah, by the way, I will be there at the scoring table stressing out as usual

. It will be fun score keeping at the oldest West Coast regional since it got started in 1999. I simply cannot believe 5 years ago I was only of the clueless kids standing with the team cheering for our robot.
Its definitely going to be cool!
*edit* Also, for those of you who are interested, I put together a package for the competing teams with a bunch of info for the area around the regional venue. Check them out at these links:
