2014 San Diego Regional

[brandon.cottrell]

So I'm very excited about the match-ups for San Diego this year. This year San Diego has an incredibly balanced and leveled population of teams, so it's really anyone's game. The other thing I'm excited about is there are 14 teams going to both San Diego, and Las Vegas 5 weeks later. (987, 1266, 1538, 1572, 2102, 2339, 2485, 3009, 3011, 3255, 3476, 3965, 4160 and 4792)

So..yeah. Hype thread. I wonder how long the line will be for Chick Fil-A this year.

yeah pretty excited for it. Gonna be my first time at an FRC event so I don't know what to expect other than not having to sit in math class for 2 days.

The San Diego Regional is great first regional to go to. Being a week 2 regional most teams haven't found very good strategies yet, or aren't at full working capacity, so if your team has a good robot it will be easy to spot you.

Also 330, 987, and 1538 are going, so you'll have a couple of allstars to look up to. Sometimes 254, 341, and 1717 come as well.

Don't forget about 3476, Code Orange. They won the San Diego regional in 2012 and were the Newton Division Winners at Championships last year, making it onto Einstein!

San Diego is a great regional; can't wait!

Question to the guys who are going:
have you guys had enough practice to know what you're doing with your robot?

[brandon.cottrell]

We finished all of the mechanisms on our robot mid week 5, and we had our driver practicing since then. One of our mentors claimed he has "Too much practice" at this point

Too much? Impossible!

You cannot practice too much.

I have never felt so good about changing wheels/tread before we bag a robot. Too much practice is a myth.

This will be only the 2nd San Diego Regional the Robodox have missed since 2007 - it is always one of the very best events anywhere! Good luck to all the teams competing in our traditional "home away from home" regional.
