It's only 7:30 over there

I turned on the Midwest Regional at 9:30 East Coast time as well, and had to ask "Where is it? WHERE?.."

Re: Silicon Valley Regional

Unfortunately 814 had to skip out on SVR this year. It's our spring break and our teachers didn't want to give up their vacation to go ...
But myself and a few other team members are going down to San Jose tomorrow! I can't wait!

Re: Silicon Valley Regional

254 looks very good

980 is good as well, had some troubles with tetras flying/slipping off their hook.

I forgot to check the rankings before I left, but I was on the field reffing all day and here's other good bots I saw-

368
22 (Once they get more drive practice, they'll go far)
852
1280
766
Others who's numbers escape me.

Can anyone confirm if the FIRST match results, and rankings are correct? Some of the rankings seem VERY odd given what I watched on the field today.

Re: Silicon Valley Regional

Oh, geez. 254 has had 9 matches so far, winning 8 and losing one 7-0 (what happened?)

Ignoring the one loss, they have a match score average of 70.125pts!!!

Even with that loss, it's *only* 62.333pts/match! That's amazing...

Thanks for the kind words and intent, Cory, but it's very premature to say that we'll win this Regional. There are ten or so high quality teams competing at the Silicon Valley Regional this year (along with many other strong teams to be selected as playoff alliance partners), and it will be a hard fought playoffs. We were lucky enough to have a functional robot shipped to this event which allowed us a lot of practice time on Thursday. This, in conjunction with having being paired with many of the other high quality teams has allowed us to have such high scores in our matches.

We had actually barely outscored our opponents in the match that we lost, but our alliance received a 30-point penalty for hitting an opponent in a loading zone. Like I said before, our scores were inflated due to fortunate alliance partners (teams like 368, 840, 846, 852, and many more). We have really tough matches tomorrow morning that will end up determining the seeds (against 840 and 980). We'll have to wait until then to see how things work out. Whatever people say, this is a very tough event, and no team has a lock on it.

Good luck to everyone!

-Bill

I remember in 2003 Woz was a judge and interviewing our students in our pit, and some parents and myself were all stoked for our students and everything and then afterwards I asked the students about their conversation with Woz, and they were "Woz?, who's Woz?" Kids these days, I'll tell you!

(I grew up on a Apple II+, Z80 card, 300 baud modem, dual 5.25 floppies, and a sweet 14" Amber screen.)

Two floppies -- you young punk. The first microcomputer I ever touched (but, alas, didn't own) was a MITS Altair 8800 that you programmed with toggle switches. I also used the TRS-80 Model 1, with the never-quite-sure-it-was-going-to-work cassette data storage system. I have to confess, however, that the first computer I actually spent money on was a Compaq portable in September 1983. I popped the extra $300 for the second floppy. I took out a bank loan to pay the $3,500 total. Bought a Gemini-10X printer, too. Good times...
