2008 Connecticut Regional

[JohnBoucher]

237 is in the house

[KathieK]

I'll be there, I'm sure!

[Greg Marra]

Over 70 seats? That makes the Connecticut Regional an unusually large event...

[Mike Betts]

As soon as I get specifics from Mike Sperber, our committee chair, I'll be posting specifics at this site: http://www.ctfirst.org/frc_events/index.html

Yes...what a suspiscious finding we have there.

Note to all the teams in New England, and especially to those teams beyond...you might want to sign the little name on the dotted line.

...Especially considering that from the regional stats here, it looks like the UTC Connecticut Regional is the largest and [possibly] only Super-Regional of the 2008 FRC Season.

Last year there were 70 available spots, but only 49 registered teams. Maybe it will be a similar outcome this year.

And by the way- 1124 is going to be at the Connecticut Regional. I'm already counting down the days.

I agree

During the Regional my team, the Dragons, is hosting a social on the Friday after the Qualifying rounds. Attached is the "Save the Date" flyer that we're putting out, and in the near future we'll put out the official flyer with more detailed information.

Any predictions on CTR? This thread has been real quiet lately.

I have a few predictions:

The high score will be 130ish.
The finals will be decided by 10 points or less each match.
Shooters will dominate.

I agree with the first prediction, but disagree with the second two.

After watching the BAE (Granite State Regional) semifinals and finals, I'm guessing most elimination scores at CTR will range between 50 and 120 points before penalties.

And when it comes to shooters vs arms vs herders, effective and consistent robots will dominate. That depends as much on their method of trackball acquisition and driver skill, as the mechanism used to make the trackball score.

SF1 should be good.
Most likely it will be:

1124 175 716
vs
195 126 173

semifinal 1, absolutely incredible


even with gaelforce out for half the match....what a showing by buzz, uberbots, cybernights and gaelforce

142 for red-42 for blue, blue alliance had 40 points in penalties
