I remember that there was some controversy last year with the general first week regional blues, hopefully it will be smoother this year. What's the regional like? How is the venue? Who are the teams to look out for?
I'd like to take the time to welcome all those that will be traveling to New Hampshire this coming weekend, and to wish you all the best of luck (except against us ) at the BAE GSR.

The BAE GSR has one of the best venues in FIRST (IMHO). Theres not a bad seat in the house. Seating is very close, excellent access to the pits, close to many resturants (if you dont want to pay the consession prices) and close to the hotels. Parking is close by (but a bit expensive). There is a full machine shop available and the machinists there are very good. There is a 1/2 size practice field (sign up early!!!) and a practice driving area.

You will find few regionals with a higher level of play. Most of the powerhouse teams of the northeast will be here (as well as a number of them from around the country), this is a bit offset by the fact that it's an early regional, so many teams have not been able to work out all the bugs yet.

The weather is generally cold outside (10-20 F) and the wind can blow quite hard (Thursday morning standing in front of the Verizon Wireless Arena gets rather chilly).

Again, Good luck to all.

I will be attending BAE GSR as a spectator, and if all goes according to my timeline we should have some students from our rookie team we're launching. BAE is always a fantastic competition with top-notch teams and edge of your seat matches. I look forward to enjoying the show!

Re: 2007 New Hampshire Regional (BAE SYSTEMS Granite State Regional)

I've got an announcement for the Granite State Regional... Team 166 will be running a scouting database that is open to all teams for both contributions and usage. In other words, we are trying to start a universal scouting database for everybody to use.

Last year, we found that there were wireless networks at GSR, so we made our team's scouting data available to everybody. This year, we're trying to take is a step further and make one database for all teams to add scouting data to.

As the scouting lead for Team 166, I came to the conclusion that the data that could be obtained by cooperation among teams offered much greater upside than the benefits of traditional, cuthroat secretive scouting. Mass cooperation will help insure that every match is scouted, and duplicate accounts of the same match will help to cross-check the accounts.

I have attached a copy of the scouting sheet that our team has based the database on. We placed an emphasis on making as many items on the sheet "circle all that applies" responses as possible rather than "fill in the blank" responses. We went through about 5 or 6 iterations before we finally agreed on the current scouting sheet.

On Thursday of the competition, two people from Team 166, Rob (myself), and Zach (the team member who is responsible for programming the database), will come around the pits with paper copies of the scouting sheet and copies of a document on how to use it. We need other teams to help in order to make this experiment into a success. If we can achieve any level of mass cooperation, we can make traditional, every-team-for-itself scouting a thing of the past.
