Chapter 5, California Part 2: The South

Team San Diego: a coalition of all the San Diego Area teams. They support each other at all events.

Rob Mainieri: Team lead of team 812 (the founder of Team San Diego) and WFA winner in 2006.

Moving north, we have:

SCRRF: the Southern California Regional Robotics Forum puts on numerous events through the year to help teams.

Chris Husmann: SCRRF president and FTA for the regional. Originally a mentor on team 330, he has helped mentor many new teams in the Los Angeles area.

Team 294: Beach Cities Robotics is one of the oldest teams in Southern California. They have one Nationals title under their belts, from 2001, and are ready to help out any time you need them.

Team 330: the Beach Bots are similar to team 294, but their Championship title is from 2005. Arguably the dominant team in Southern California on the field.

Team 599: the RoboDox are very helpful all around, from hosting events to helping other teams.

Team 968: See 114ManualLabor's post. Another top team all around.
