Los Angeles Regional! 2007

[Guy Chriqui]

Team 4 is happy to be there again. This year should be amazing with less teams but more competition!

[Jeff K.]

Team 1138 will be going like always. I can't wait for an amazing year, less than 100 days 'til kickoff.
How many of you are happy that it's earlier by being a week 2 regional instead of week 4 like it's been in the past?

[Nica F.]

actually, i enjoyed having the LA regional later because it built up anticipation




and wow, im glad everyone is excited this early! i am definitely ecstatic to see who from outside of California will be attending this event as well. *cough188 cough*

There's a 90% chance I'll be there. I tend to magically appear there every year anyways.

Well, we're almost guaranteed to see you in San Diego.

Well considering I'm one of the ppl putting it on, yes I suppose you might see me in San Diego.

599 is going, and hopefully we will have FIRST Aid available again.

WEll 1070 is for sure going to LA.. we've already signed up lol..and is anyone else glad that the regional is starting EARLIER? well we are.. mainly b/c last year it was too close to the AP SEason, and since we're a bunch of geeks... our team is made up of people who take like four to five APs..yay.. but.. this year is better.. so hopefully our whole team .. which is like... eight people.. will actually COME!

[Nica F.]

hmm only 17 teams are registered so far. do you guys think there will be a smaller amount of teams attending this year?

[yodameister]

My guess is that there will be more teams signing up once the second regional sign-up opens.

Yeah, our team wanted to save money so we chose San Diego and LA. We took a gamble thinking SD would fill up first, so we're going to sign for LA as the second. It'll probably fill up; Or atleast have enough teams for the finals.

It seems that there are many teams taking that gamble and choosing to sign up for an away regional first instead of their usual/home regional.

For example:
59 signed up for the Las Vegas Regional
190 signed up for the Silicon Valley Regional
254 signed up for the Great Lakes regional
1138 signed up for the Boilermaker Regional
22, 294, 980, 1425 & 1825 all chose the San Diego regional over regionals closer to home.

Vicki already said it but, yes, 1070 is SOO going! go Robotrons!

[Nica F.]

Of course more teams will most likely be signed up but i mean, if im not mistaken, more teams were signed up around this time last year.


Maybe because teams are going to the new SanDiego reg instead?

[AdamHeard]

I have a feeling that it is going to fill up very quick once registration opens.

Even with some teams missing, it looks like a competitive regional.

4 (technically new, old in experience), 188, 330, 599, 696 and a few other teams (I don't remember teams very well) usually can produce some very high calibur robots.
