Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

115 Wins Again!!!

Wow, what luck. lol

Congrats to the other champions; teams 1662 and 2122. I'm looking forward to seeing the Potato-bot (2122) again in Atlanta! Another very solid machine from 1662.

Also congrats to the finalists teams 1388, 1072, 2551, and (replacement team) 2390. It was awesome watching you guys boot your way through the eliminations!

I was aso very impressed with team 766. Unfortunately we won't be seeing any more of them this year, but they had a great robot (1st pick, and one of the best hurdlers at Davis). Way to go rep-ing the Sequoia Union HS District!!!

Anyone want to post who won what? I didn't stay for the awards ceremony.

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

Congratulations on the win, 1662! 1726 was less fortunate at LA, so it looks like we won't be seeing you at Atlanta... perhaps we'll make another appearance at Sacramento next year and meet up with you guys again! Also, congratulations to the rest of the winning alliance, the finalist alliance, and every other team that managed to go to Sacramento! I sure did miss it this year...

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

Congratulations to everyone Davis was fun this year....


that is until we were leaving and I tripped on the stairs and nailed my knee on the corner.


EDIT: I have to say I was dumbstruck but amazed when the team(forget the number, memory loss from lack of sleep) DECLINED picking their alliance. That was something that no matter how much I wanted to I don't think I would be able to force myself to turn down picking our alliance.

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

Congratulations to all the finalists. I was able to come by the event for a couple hours and really enjoyed seeing some really cool robots. Robots not in the finals that I really liked were 701 and 766. I gotta get a couple of my friends up at Davis to get involved next year.

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

That team played fewer matches than everyone else because they arrived late to the regional. But I think it was very honorable what they did. It must have been the hardest decision ever.

So unfortunate for our Alliance though. I feel really sorry because the other teams on our alliance were probably depending on us to be their hurdler but we were having trouble with our forklift during the whole regional.

But none the less our first match was probably my favorite. Knocked off two balls in Hybrid mode and crossed 3 lines!

Good luck to the winning alliance and the Fembots on their Chairmans Award.



P.S. Major Kudos to team 1388 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR ROBOT. (Second to my own teams of course lol)

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

1388 had a great time at Davis. Congrats to the winners and everyone else. We had a blast going thru the finals with 2551 and 1072 .. and we were shocked when we were called for the EI award again (we won it at Davis in 2005).

Glad to see everyone liked the boot - it's been really cool to do something unique like that .. although we still aren't getting control of the trackball as much as we'd like to. Oh well

For all that asked, I'll download the field feed off my DVR as soon as I catch up on some sleep, and I'll get them up on soap. We'll be back in Atlanta and can't wait to see our SD and SAC friends there again!

Hey, a guy can dream can't he?
O...K...
I totally did not expect what happened today. So I guess I called it right, in a way. We won(thanks to teams 2122 and 1662 for picking us), though when I made that call, I was definitely not thinking about winning as the second round pick. It's gotta take a ton of luck to win 2 straight regionals in this fashion. And I have to admit it is a really wierd feeling.

2159: WOW, I am amazed at how they decided to give up their alliance captain spot, they deserve praise for having what it takes to do something like that.

And congrats to team 692 on winning the Chairman's Award!

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

I read somewhere here that someone was posting video on soap. I'm too tired right now to search for it, but I was wondering if I could get the uncut footage of the finals and the uncut footage of awards.

Please PM me if you have either of those

This, without a doubt, is the embodiment of what FIRST is all about. I was selected to be one of the student ambassadors at the VIP lunch, and I had been planning on talking about how the FIRST community basically revolves around gracious professionalism, and this selfless act was pretty much my entire talk in one gesture.

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

Can someone go into a little more detail about what exactly happened with the giving up alliance captain business for the people that weren't there?
Thanks a bunch.

Re: 2008 Davis Sacramento Regional

I am extremely proud of the teams at Davis this weekend. I saw a lot of classy act all weekend.

2159 graciously stepped down from alliance captain because they missed a lot of matches on Friday and did not think they deserved to be in that position. So when alliance selection came, they got on the field and said so. That took a lot of guts. I also saw another team struggling to decide whom to pick (probably because they did not expect to be an alliance captain), and I saw one of 115's member rushed over with their scouting laptop to give that team valuable scouting info. That was another classy act. That's not to mention all the things that happens at a regional competition on and off the field.

All in all, you were incredible!

The matches really got going once we were in the finals! Lots of hurdling robots, lots of action, lots of interesting defense. It was great!


On a side note, I like to humbly thank our MC for letting me follow him onto the field for a while, practicing announcing the teams. That was a lot of fun. I've always dreamed of doing that at an event. Who knows, I might try to do more, and if I do, it will definitely be better next time. I would like to suggest, though, that some of the flag poles be made lighter...

(Now if anyone have any picture... I would love to get them )

I had predicted we would end up in an alliance with 701. I think it was a good pick, you guys did great in both of our quarter final matches. It's too bad we stopped there. It was a fun regional anyway, and good luck to everyone at Atlanta.

OMG! We made it to Finals! I am really surprised! I would like to thank a few teams that helped us get there:

To our Alliance Partners
1388 - 'Hammer Time' is an incredible machine and it REALLY helped us.
1072 - Despite your guy's problems with your robot, you guys still helped a bunch. We couldn't do it without you guys.
2390 - You guys had the opportunity to sub in during our final matches. Thanks.

Other teams:
675 - You guys really helped us during the build process. Huge thanks.
2035 - You guys had an awesome robot. You guys deserved more than just semifinals.
