Well we should all know by now that pinning is a huge factor in this game, and that good scoring bots should be on the lookout for pinning robots. That's part of the reason why we were knocked out in the quarterfinals at SVR(1868 is good at pinning too!), so this doesn't really impress me.

That said, we're really looking forward to coming up to Davis next week. We feel that we can still do a lot better even though El Toro XII already put on a solid performance at SVR.

Yeah...not impressive. But as you know effective. I'm not going to toot 1671's horn as well we don't have a horn, but...we certainly will go out and run all over the field looking for robots to dance in circles with.
We just want to have some fun out there, meet you all and hang out. If your team needs anything be sure to swing by and ask, our team is certainly willing to help all and everyone if needed.
C-ya there at Davis!!!

[R.C.]

Davis should be rocking this year since 100 is returning and 1717 is joining the regional. Also does anyone know who is MCing?

We asked Marc Leon at SVR. He said it would not be Blair...

He mumbled something about somebody new, being trained.

There's always Ken! He's a pretty good announcer!

I wanted Theiss to do it, but I'm not sure he has the time.

[Andy L]

Mark is not MCing and neither is Blair.

I'm pretty sure they're still working on it

[Cory]

Last I heard Ken Leung was going to be a MC trainee at Davis, if not the sole MC.

[Max Garber]

Team 1717 is looking forward to Davis and meeting all the teams there.

[Akash Rastogi]

If 1717 and 100 pair up, nobody has a chance.

jk jk, you all have a shot at it. I'm rooting for 1323 and 1671...Maybe 1717 or 100 can join up with the new and improved 1323 this time. Hehehe. ^_^

Is there a webcast?

i was looking earlier at the webcasts links and couldnt find anything for davis.

I am working on getting vids up of the elim. matches with 1671, 1388, and 399.

There is an outside company that specializes in internet broadcasting, and they plan on donating some time and resources to streaming Davis out for the world to see. There should be a link available closer to the time of competition.

As for the MC, I saw Ken on campus a few days ago, and apparently he was doing some training at SVR and will be lead MC-ing at SAC. I'm sure he'll do a great job!

Martin, I doubt Theiss could do it, he works 3 jobs

Everyone be on the lookout for 1678, they might surprise you...

Our scouts were quite impressed by 1678 at the fembot scrimmage - looking really good.

So what's up with 1678's name change from "Engen" to "Citrus Circuits"?

Thanks! Our name change is mostly due to the fact that no one on the team really liked Engen anymore. Plus, Citrus Circuits gives us a "theme" of sorts to work off of. Don't be surprised if you see a dancing lemon on the field this year...
