2010 Silicon Valley Regional

Are you excited about SVR?

I am! I am also very nervous about it. MVRT went to San Diego and managed to win Finalist because of a lot of luck and really, really great alliance partners in the finals, but the level and intensity of competition is going to step up another notch at SVR this year.

We are going to see the 5 brother and sister teams who went down to San Diego with us in week one (which include a regional winner, 100, as well as 192, 668, 846, and 1868). We are going to see teams who went to Oregon (team 8 and 1700). We are going to see the Poofs preforming the very first time at a competition (team 254). We are going to see some very strong teams from Sacramento region (Team 692 and 701). We are going to get some very tough competition from the Danville/Livermore/San Ramon teams (Team 852, 1280, 1458, 1516). We are going to see the return of one of our National Championship Divisional and Championship Winner from last year (Team 971). We are going to see Mad Town in blue (Team 1323). And we are going to see some very strong rookie teams this year (Team 3129, 3156, 3256).

You excited?! I am excited!

Luckily, we were able to spend some time over the weekend on our practice bot putting on a stronger kicker with a better trajectory. As of yesterday we were making goals consistently from the back and mid zone with the practice bot. But I also heard teams were having awesome, awesome practices at NASA Ames in the past few weeks. So I am nervous, very nervous about how this weekend will unfold.

What do you say? You guys ready for some fierce competition this weekend?!

Re: 2010 Silicon Valley Regional

Don't forget 766, 114, and 604!

Can't wait to see Breakaway played live!

Team 100 has been practicing tirelessly with our practice bot*


*by which I mean: 'we've been sitting around and relaxing' (becuase we were too lazy to build a practice bot ).

Re: 2010 Silicon Valley Regional

Looking forward to seeing some pretty impressive robots this year! 8, 100, and 254 come immediately to mind, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing some quite impressive rookies as well!

Team 114 is excited to bring the same drive base that carried 997 to win the Oregon Regional. See you all tomorrow!

Re: 2010 Silicon Valley Regional

I'll be streaming this regional at work, I'm still trying to get a projector set up for the whole office to see.

Can't wait to see some old allies in team 100, and 1458 from Davis. and 668 from Cal Games the one year we ventured down.

I'm always excited to see the Outbacks tracks out there competing again. Good luck to 114, 668, and 1458 at SVR. I'll be cheering for you!

and Of course I'll be excited to see what the Poofs came up with this year!

Re: 2010 Silicon Valley Regional

I found a link here.

It looks like there will be one but I do not believe it has started yet. I'll try and keep my eye on it this morning to see when it starts and will post an update here.

The stream is up now here, but there seems to be very few teams making it onto the field each match.

Few teams and SLOW moving, but that seems to be the norm this year at most regionals on practice day this year.
