2007 Davis Sacramento Regional

[Otaku]

I can't wait for Davis, especially with our buddies over at Team 100 going as well.

Also, we get to meet some teams we've not seen before. This'll be 675's first year at Davis, and we hope to do really good.

Heh, I thought you had disappeared, Jefferies. (And yes, I'm aware you're going to RIT).

Yeah, we've been doing pretty good. We made it to the semifinal rounds with the #3 Alliance at SVR. Gloria had her arm taken off -- it was useless anyways and now we make weight. If you want more information, feel free to PM me.


Anywho, 675 is hoping for a Regional win or Regional Runner-up (Preferrably the first, but we'll have to see). We're really glad to be doing as good as we are and we want to go to Nationals.

I sent that out. With 39 teams, and the 15' x 30' Practice Field, it was felt there wasn't room for 10x10 pits so it got reduced to 9'x9'. Not my decision - just the bearer of bad news. I do apologize for not getting that info out earlier, it was dicussed 3 weeks ago, but I didn't realize the finality of it until I got the pit layout this Wednesday. Our team has gone ahead and reduced our PVC Structure to 9'x9' (easy for PVC). If you have a 10' banner, maybe the sides can wrap around 6" on each side? A metal pit structure? I'll pm you. Sorry folks, if we continue to expand this regional, we may very well end up on the 3rd floor. It could be worse.

Better to get this information now than show up in Davis expecting a bigger one. At least teams have time to adjust their pit. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for understanding. After seeing some of the pits at Bayou and last year at PNW, we've toyed with making a pit out of 80/20 or BOSCH extrusion. Luckily we keep taking the cheap way out and continue using PVC.

It's Jeffries, but no matter. I'll be out in June to take a better look at the bot and take a look at all the new stuff you guys got. Good luck at Davis!

Davis is two days away, who else is stoked?

Tomorrow, I get to bring my luggage to school so that it can be driven over to Sacramento to our hotel, then Thursday morning I get to wake up at like 5AM (I'm going down before the rest of my team, who are leaving at 8:15AM from our school) so I can go get Gloria and our pit ready.

Good luck to everybody and I hope to have a great time!

114 is ready and eager to be there in full force. We're correcting all the mistakes we made at SVR, and are ready to bring it out in full force.

Watch for the Lab Coats!

YAY! DAVIS! W00t W00t!

I can't wait. Its gonna be awesome! There are going to be a lot of out-of-state teams there too.
Teams I want to meet:
-753
-1359 (I want more pirate pins )
-1072

We'll definitely be breaking out the ramps at Davis




ROFL! I kid. We don't have any ramps! But I scared you there didn't I?!

When I read the ramp part, yeah, I was thinking "100's gonna be the best team there, no doubt".

You'll still be pretty high up, I speculate. But speculation is worthless, it's performance that counts.

Gah, I was gonna say, WHERE WERE THEY AT SVR?!?

I can't wait to see everyone there, and eat dinner with 100 on Thursday night, that should be fun! I'll be sporting my honorary 100 hat as usual

Less than 2 days left!

You really had me going there. I was thinking, "Now who's gonna be able to stand up against 100?"

But anyways, I'm looking forward to Davis, but like SVR, I won't be showing up til Friday morning with most of the guys. MVRT will be there in full force, and I mean in numbers too, you'll see quite a lot of purple, at least I hope you do.

[Otaku]

Speaking of which, Marvin, would there be any way for me to get a Team 100 hat? Those things are awesome (plus I like showing support for other teams).

I get to go on Thursday, again (I did for SVR, too. Nothing like working all 6 weeks of build season).

[Shelbykr7]

Team 1280 will be at Davis ready and excited for a very fun regional! It will be intresting to compare the amount of teams strategys who decide whats more important hanging or lifting or a mix so near to the championship. Good luck to everyone attending!!

[bhsrobotics1671]

we are having some serious transmission problems, banebots has been out of stock for 2+ weeks. they are definatly killing us. we got an email back from them today, they said they have a shipment enroute but they are having delays with customs. so 1671 maybe in need of a spare to start us off..one broke during practice before we shipped...(it was the spur gear getting stuck on the shaft issue). we had the gear meachined again and it fits on..still havnt put it all back together, we will be doing that tomorrow to see if it will run at least. so if any of you have spares, we may need to buy it off you!!
