Go to Post It's cool to see that Shaun White is an active team member (6th person from top left). That guy must be amazing, as he can win a gold medal in snowboarding while also being active on a FIRST Robotics team. - Andy Baker [more]

Well, there is some interesting stuff in San Francisco. It has kind of lost its glamour since I've lived here all my life, but it is fun for people who have never been here. my favorite in SF is Ghirardelli Ice Cream. It is the best Ice cream in te worl served in massive portions. If you will be in SF, definitely check it out. Cable Cars are a favorite of many, but I believe the main tourist line is closed for repairs. Fisherman's Wharf has lots of food areas, along with Pier 39 which can be entertaining for awhile. Yeah... If anyone wants to know any other places of interest, you can feel free to PM/email me. Also, Ian, Maddie, or anyone else from 810 when are you guys coming here and leaving for SVR? If you are going to get here wednesday night, and leaving saturday night, you wont have time to see anything. However, if you are here Sunday, you will have time to see some fun stuff.

Team 840 will be there. Also, in San Jose, the Tech Museum might be of interest to out-of-towners interested in robotics. There's a nice iMax theater at least.

I hate that IMAX Dome. You neck aches, and your eyes really hurt after watching a movie there. Seeing Fantasia 2000 there was a horrible experience. Other than the IMAX, yeah, the Tech is a cool place.

I sit around, use my computer, and listen to music, at night. I'm not an interesting guy, though... You should hang out with Jon Lawton.

Great America sucks. Too many dumb teenagers wearing t-shirts with Che Guevara's face on them, just because they like the way RATM sounds. It disgusts me too much.
I haven't been to Marine World in years. No comment.
I generally dislike the whole amusement park atmosphere. Last time I was a Disney World, I had more fun timing how long it took custodial personell to clean up a batch of spilled popcorn than almost anything else.

Oh, yeah, SVR will be fun.

I know Quoth's quite anxious to see you. You've certainly had your way with her enough, from across the country, anyway...

Not sure about Laster, though. He seems to be a recluse.

Top reasons to show up at the SVR regional:

Its the oldest West coast regional, with some of the oldest California teams attending

The Hawaiian teams will be there

Meet the WRRF FIRST-a-holics, and find out what we are doing up here after the competition

The party at GRT's headquarter afterward (we better have it again this year!)

The silicon Valley regional is where some of the National Champions started at: 100, 232, 255

Some of the strongest rookie teams from last year will be there: 810, 814, 840, 852


I myself haven't decided if I should show up yet... We shall see...
