2009 Sacramento Regional

[Steven Sigley]

meh that was the last match, we lost to em.

personally i liked the match about 2-3 before that:

our semi-finals match, when the buzzer rang, we were 100% sure we lost and we were all dissapointed because the other teams were both up on ramps. 5 seconds later we look over and VOILA the ramps drop, and we're suddenly going to the finals.

I couldn't hear anything over the screams from our team.

My favorite memory was semifinals in 2008. In the last round (3rd round - the tiebreaker), one of our alliances robots malfunctioned in autonomous and had to be E-stopped.

Yet we still managed to win, while outnumbered.

My favorite memory is definitely the epic Quarterfinal 1 matchup in 2007 that went 5 matches, when Alliance 8 (1662, 295, and 1726) almost knocked out Alliance 1 (100, 997, and 1458).
Of course, there is also last year, when we went through eliminations undefeated with 2122 and 1662 and won, that was pretty shocking because that was our second regional win of the year, both as second round picks!

I wouldn't get your hopes up, with the Greater Toronto Regional on the same weekend.

and that would be the match that we lost to you guys... it took us fewer than 5 seconds to go from screaming to silent disbelief... definitely memorable!

I think my favorite memory would be this past year, when our mentor won the Woodie Flowers award! I've never cried so hard out of happiness before.

I have pointed out that they are a 2-regional team, and they have indicated that their "away" regional for the year is DC (see the thread for that regional). Not this year, unless something changes. (Note: DC has currently has 58 registered teams, not including 330, so there is a chance, though slim. San Diego is more likely, though, due to distance.)

Ok, I wonder who it is then, possibly some team I haven't heard of.

The Tators are looking forward to the Davis regional in 2009. Randy and the crew put on a great event last year and we are hoping to do our part to make it a memorable competition this year. Since we aren't a big name - we might have to bring a big bot again . Looking forward to seeing you all.

Actually this happened twice. Once in the quarterfinals and once in finals.

Team 1458 removed it both times allowing us to score, and even placed it on the rack the second time


I believe we're officially registered, I hear a lot of teams didn't make it in this year.

After the server crash it was pretty well filled up...

I believe 254 decide to go to Las Vegas instead. Anyone know if 997 is coming? I know they've lost a lot of money recently, but it would be awesome to play with them again.

Wow, 115 didn't make it on, that's a bit shocking for me, I have yet to get word from the officers(I'm sort of out of the loop at the moment), so I don't know what's going on on our side.

On a more positive note: Hey! 1717's on the list! I guessed it right! Well, sorta.
