Re: 2007 VCU Regional

Team 1885 will be returning there for sure. A new rival team from Osborne Park (a local school district) is rumored to be heading there as well.


Keep an eye out for us guys in purple playing hackie sack in the commons on competition day

Re: 2007 VCU Regional

Hi...

Hopefully 1610 will be back...We did'nt get tp the state fair...but a lot of talk has gone on about going back to Richmond. Even if we don't do as well as last year (early this year) we'll still have a blast.

Re: 2007 VCU Regional

I just checked the Team list on the FIRST site. Only 45 teams are signed up and only 9 spots are left. So that would make the total number to 54.
Just curious.......I think last year 64 teams attended VCU, making it one of the biggest regional on the East Coast. Is there a specific reason to decrease the number of teams or am i missing something?

Also, i would like to know the teams who are planning to apply for Chairmans for VCU. I know last year, it was quite a competition (with 21 entries) and Sparky 384 was able to spark another Chairmans. Lets see if its gonna be as competent as last year or what not.

As it has been said in many different threads, the regionals hold spaces for local and rookie teams. That is why there is an apparent drop in the number of teams right now.

As Jeff mentioned, the regionals hold back spots for late registering and rookie teams. Last year VCU had 64 teams (and 5 spots left open), making it the largest regional in America (Chesapeake also had 64 teams. Toronto had 74).
Seeing as this is 116's only regional this year, we will be submitting Chairman's there. I'm willing to bet that 384, 388, 1033, 1541, and 1885 will also submit at VCU (and each has a legitimate chance to win).

I hear Grundy will not be participating this year as a team, but that's just what I hear from one of my friends, could be wrong. Don't forget 510 and 540 also in the Chairmans run....

This is some truly upsetting news, if true. Ever since the A&E Video featuring 116 and 388 in 2001, we've been two close teams. We even tried to go bowling together during VCU (but sadly, we havn't been able to since 2004 , and now might not be able to again this year).

Re: 2007 VCU Regional

Up to 60 teams (although I think 2074 and 2101 are really the same team, so probably 59). Sadly 393 is the only team that isn't a "regular" at VCU. 843 is making the trek down from Canada for the 3rd time in 4 years. 10 (9) rookies so far as well!

Looks like the official count will be 66 teams:

Team 343 - Metal In Motion - from Seneca, SC is planning to make the trip! We look forward to seeing all of our old friends, and making new ones. VCU has always been a good trip for us and this year should not be an exception. We always have a great time. We can hardly wait.
Visit our www.metalinmotion.com web page some time and see how we are doing. Hopefully, our Robot Central web cam will be up and running soon so the spying can begin. Stay tuned for the fun and see you at VCU.

Re: 2007 VCU Regional

I figured it would be good to drop in here and announce that the Virginia FIRST Alumni Association will be hosting a mingle and coffee at the VCU regional on Saturday, March 3rd.
All those who were on a team and are now post highschool are invited to RSVP on the VirginiaFIRST website. http://www.virginiafirst.org/alumni.shtml

We need your help to reach everyone, so spread the word to your own teams alumni.
