1610 will be back....we finished sooner than last year and were able to get more practice in this year. I wonder if the Hawaii team has heard of 510? heheh...The big boss at work (who I talk to about BAE sponsoring us was
President of Hawaii Shipyards (now BAE Hawaii Shiprepair)
We also have a electrical mentor who was in Hawaii while stationed there
with the coast guard. He was suprized they are coming all the way to VCU.

I've also talked to one of the mentors from 1598 (one of our alliance partners
from 2006 ) and they will be there too

Since this is somewhat Dave Lavery's regional, we decided to attend. We did week 1 last year and almost came, but decided instead to go to NJ.
BAE is part sponsor of the Hawaii regional and many Hawaii teams with "large" sponsorships, but we aren't part of that collaboration. Our school is about an hour away from the nearest FIRST team in Hawaii.
I met the VCU and Chesapeake regional director by accident in Atlanta last summer and after my conversation with her, I made the decision that our team would attend both. There was a FIRST exhibition in Atlanta which I stumbled on by accident while there. Checked it out, met her there, and that's why we're coming.
We are very excited. We are spending this week prepping our Hawaii items to give out. Cant wait to meet you all!!!

Re: VCU Regional??

48 hours to go...
to all Rookie and traveling teams:
Do you need anything when you get to VCU? I will have 3-5 spare flag holder and PVC caps if you forgot them. Send me a PM and i'll see what i can bring for you. I'm not sleeping well anyway so it will give me something to do!

Re: VCU Regional??

1086 and 384 have great shooters. They will be a force to be reckoned with. My team, 2106, has something you did not see much of in week one: a herder. I have seen a few of the arm designs from several of the teams, but none of them are nearly as efficient as the two Henrico Shooters. 540 has been keeping thier 'bot under wraps. It will be interesting to see what they have packed in the crate.

Re: VCU Regional??

yeah i guess the only teams anyone is talking about this year are last years triad. too bad other teams arent posting their stuff this year...i dont know how strong sparky will be because of how they pick up the ball, but once theyve got the ball in their bot there willl be NO stopping them!

Re: VCU Regional??

Team 401 is ready to put things into overdrive at VCU!!! We look forward to competing this year, and can't wait to see what the other teams have in store. Check out our video and see what you think.

Re: VCU Regional??

After seeing week 1, I suspect that 384 and 1086 may not be quite as dominant as they initially appeared... I still expect one (probably both) in the top 8, but they seem like they might have a bit of trouble getting possession of the ball. 1731 probably has the strongest robot of the VCU ones that I have seen (612 is pretty solid too). On the other hand, I've only seen like seven or eight robots (including my own team's) out of the sixty-four that'll be there, so it is impossible to tell. We'll know in four days though

Re: VCU Regional??

I have to agree. Team 1731 looks amazing this year, and their hybrid mode with the light show is pretty cool. Anyone have any info on 1610 or 435? They always have great bots every year but there's nothing on their website.

Re: VCU Regional??

LOL! I looked up King's Dominion with my students, and they got hella excited. Then as I was browsing the site and checked the calendar dates, they are closed til March.
Sorry, but if you saw the disappointed looks on our student's faces, you just gotta laugh. Never seen a high become so low so fast.
I like outlet malls and eateries, they just want the theme parks.
