2007 Davis Sacramento Regional

[Alekat]

I know 701 is going to rock the house!

Seriously though, this is my first year as an alum and I can't wait to see ya'lls bots this year.

P.S. I get to wake up later than anyone because I live on campus

[KrazyRoadster]

701 is one of the teams I'm really interested in seeing this regional. I saw one of your practice videos and my jaw dropped. You guys looked incredibly smooth. Have you guys got any ramps on yet?

This will be team 997s first show at Davis/Sacramento and we cant wait.
we were at PNW week 1 and waiting 4 weeks is just killing the entire team,
Best of luck to you all at the competition

753 will be showing up again.
After making Finals last year (in a close loss) were hoping to reclaim-some fame.
We love UC Davis, looking forward to meeting you other teams.

(Edit. Glad to see 997 showing up)

we do have two ramps, but we will only be using one of them.

Huh? What happened/why?

During the Bayou Regional we had problems with one side not lifting so we just took them off. For Davis we are adding sides and a "stopper" on our single ramp so a robot wont have to worry about rolling off the ramp.

1351 will be there. Like 115, 38/48 at SVR was not so satisfying, so we will see what can be improved (Namely, our arm which we only got working for our final qualifier and didn't even use then). Our chassis is still goin strong though, so look for us with the best defense you've ever seen.

[bhsrobotics1671]

1671 will be there for sure!!
we have came a long way since last year
working off a very tight budget and using plywood to construct most of the bot to getting a major sponsor, PELCO, to step in and help us out this year. Thanks to them i dont think we would have made it any further than last year. Our programmers are doing excellent, so many things programmed it is pretty much idiot proof to the point when ur driving it, its very hard to screw something up.

we are also proud to announce we will be hosting sundial at this event. it is very possible that we may need 2-3 extra people to help run the system and keeping it up to date since as of now its me, and our head programmer who are both going to be extremely busy. so if you are interested in helping come stop by at comp! i have been talking to pat all night, a few bugs in the program but they should be fixed shortly.

p.s. does anyone know if they have released match schedules yet? it would help us severely in inputing it all into sundial before the comp.

thanks!

973 will be there with a better ramp and scoring arm. We're always willing to run defense and our improved ramps should make it so that we are climbable by everyone.

[Salik Syed]

701 will be there... rockin the house! I'm very impressed with what our team has come up with this year.

And I will finally get to see our matches from the stands this year! It's been like 4 years since i did that!

[s_forbes]

This looks to be one of the most competitive and exciting regionals of the year, I'm really disappointed that I can't go. With all of the fast scoring robots competing, I expect there to be many near full racks. Someone be sure to document everything so those of us who are less fortunate can see some of the action!



Go 1726!

[Winged Globe]

After a tough year, I'll be happy seeing our robot move and our students enjoy our only event. Good luck to everyone!

I take it Sundial is a scouting program?

[Guy Davidson]

Sundial isn't a scouting program, but it is useful. It is a program that hosts the schedule and tells you when your next match is, and what your alliance is.

We actually revised our scouting system greatly this year in hopes of picking. While that didn't happen (43/48 :X) we still have some decent to high quality data from SVR. If any of the teams competing at Davis would like to see it, just ask. We can also share the program we used (768's program with some modifications) and the sheets we used.
