Sacramento Regional 2012

Great job to everyone who competed! It was the most fun I have had in a while. Congrats to all the award winners!

A huge thanks from 971 to our alliance partners, 1678 and 3189.

1678 was a dominating force on the field all weekend, taking their only loss in a 1v3 match against 1671 and 971 (the #2 and #3 seeds). We were thrilled to be invited to your alliance.

3189 I have no idea how you lasted that long. Your driving was top notch, you got the balls from the bridge every hybrid mode, kept us fed and played some excellent defense. I hope we'll see you at championships!

Major congrats to the 1868 Space Cookies for their second Chairman's in a row, and to 604 Quixilver for the EI.

And an extra special shout out to the webcast crew from 604. I know there were some weird problems with the webcast but you got it working and I am very thankful to have been able to watch my team play!

FIRST Team 3250 thanks everyone! Who is going to Central Valley in week 6?

Team 1678 would like to extend a huge thank you to our alliance partners 971 and 3189. It was a very exciting regional this year and there were some very competitive matches in the final rounds. Both of your teams were key to helping us win this year's regional. I agree with 971, we were lucky to have you (3189) still available as a third pick. Your driver was as good as any at the competition, you had an awesome autonomous mode, were agile crossing the bridge and played great defense.

I also want to acknowledge team 1671 who were one of the strongest and most consistent robots throughout the competition. They scored consistently in autonomous, had a flawless 2-point shot in teleop and achieved the only triple balance at Sacramento. We are looking forward to competing with you again at the Central Valley regional.

Also, congratulations to Space Cookies for winning the Chairman's award and to all the other teams who made this year's event so exciting.

Thank you guys so much for letting us be apart of your alliance! You guys were awesome at the double balance, consistently scoring baskets and offense. Thanks for your support and all of your help in the pits.

See you in St. Louis 1678 & 971

As a driver, thanks for letting us play defense.

On behalf of team 1671 I wanted to give thanks to teams 3970 and 1388 for being great alliance partners. It is too bad we had to go out the way we did and left the regional without anything to show for our accomplishments but we are even that much more excited for the Central Valley Regional and can't wait to see a lot of you there.

If anyone has video of the triple balance that would be great to have. Thanks!

A giant thank you from 1388 to everyone in 1671 and 3970 for being such an awesome alliance. I'm happy and proud to have been a part of that. See you at CVR!

Thank you for the kind words. I feel like 1671 is at last emerging as a consistently high performing team and it was so much fun being in the thick of things right through to the end. I enjoyed being next to you in the pits. I only wish we could have taken you on in the finals. THAT would have been awesome.

Thanks to everyone who posted the videos. That triple bot balance was amazing and i cant believe i missed it, (distracted by team 8 falling completly off the field)
It's very impressive and im glad someone pulled it off at Davis.

Thanks everyone for another great Sacramento Regional. Congrats again to 1678, 971, and 3189 - a well deserved regional win. It is so awesome to see the Citrus Circuits winning the regional in back to back years and I have a feeling you could easily go for more in the future. Also congrats to 604 for winning the EI and 1868 for the CA.

While our Stacking Bot performance wasn't perfect, we did prove it is possible on the practice field and gave it a shot in the quarterfinals with a bit of drama (sorry fembots). We should be more prepared in a few weeks to try it again at the Spokane Regional.

Here's a video segment of our practice with 2085 and 675 as well as another view of the quarterfinals.
