Buckeye 2008!!!

So just wanted to start up a thread about who is going, what to think about the teams, maybe post some pictures, and more! I for one am very excited and am always excited for Buckeye. It was the first FIRST competition that SparX ever went to and my first FIRST competition!

Re: Buckeye 2008!!!

Uhm... arent they always 10'x10'x10'? As i remember, buckeye is a little on the generous side usually, but I wouldn't bank on it.

1024 actually tried to back out of Cleveland after our plans got changed in Chicago, but turns out we can't. Sooo... Cleveland here we come!

Looks like a lot of teams are going I haven't met before... should a good time.

Does anyone know where the team social is going to be held? (hoping for science museum)

See you all there,

Re: Buckeye 2008!!!

I can't wait for Buckeye! Last year was my first year going to this regional with Team 1126 SparX. I had such a great time and by far was one of the best regionals that I have seen. SparX 1126 like Dylan said will be there again this year! I can't wait!

Uhm... no? I'm not really a rock-and-roll person. Actually, we (1024) ended up doing a whole bunch of math-y exercises out in the area in front of the rock-and-roll hall of fame after we all exhausted the get-to-the-highest-place-in-the-building thing.

Among these: Use the circumference of that huge flower planter to figure out how far it is accross (since it said "Do Not Walk on Flowerbeds"), How many panes of glass were in the triangular faces of the hall of fame building?

Re: Buckeye 2008!!!

I am excited to attend Buckeye! This is my first time returning to the regional since 2004 with Greater Rochester Robotics (#340). It should be a great regional!

Re: Buckeye 2008!!!

Buckeye 08' was my first out-of-state FIRST competition, my second in general. The amount of energy and spirit I witnessed there was overwhelming. I can't wait to see what things will be like in future competition. See you all there and good luck!

Compared to last year's competition, what you seen was nothing. The energy there wasn't as great, but hopefully next year will be better.

Re: Buckeye 2008!!!

Well, I have my hopes for who will go furthest into the tournament (rookies!... maybe?), but I really doubt that my hope will be right. Therefore, I agree with deshirider that the teams which have already had a regional this year will have a definite edge.

PS: deshirider, you forgot a couple of teams that have already had a competition this year, albeit not a full-fledged regional: the rookies that went to Kettering.

Re: Buckeye 2008!!!

How about some pics/video of the robots that will be competing at Buckeye?

I'd love for some Finger Lakes intel on our Rochester-area visitors....
