2007 Silicon Valley Regional

[Otaku]

On behalf of Team 675, Thanks to Team 987 (High Rollers) and Team 846 (Funky Monkeys) for choosing us into the Elimination rounds and getting to the semifinals.

Team 448, once again, congratulations on your awards.

Team 190 & your alliance, congratulations on your Regional win.

Team 100, on behalf of 675, we can't wait to see you at Davis. Also, I like your Saftey Captain's hat.



I think that 675 did pretty good. Our bot displayed amazing torque and traction (we pushed Team 668, the Apes of Wrath and the Rack at the same time), and the ability to score 60 bonus points with our monster of a ramp.


I'd say that the really notable bots were:

488's bot, for their innovative ramp design (and engineering award!)
254's bot, for their amazingly quick robot and their very effective grabber/scoring mechanism
100's bot, for their grabber mechanism with automatic stop, plus their bot's speed
190's bot, for it's ramp mechanism (you'd have to see it to get it, but it's amazing)
675's bot (I am a bit biased, however), for our amazing display of torque, defensive capabilities, and large ramp

Thanks to all the teams that attended for a lot of good matches, and sorry to any teams whose bots we messed up.

Hope to see at least some of you at Davis or the Nationals!
