I remember those great matches, we sure did a number on defense against the poofs (in a game where defense was hard to play). 2005 for our team was a disappointing year on the field for our team, and since then have rebuilt the team a bit and have been far more competitive in the last two years.

The kids are bringing a good catapult bot down this year (think 103 in NJ, or kinda like 16 in Chicago (without the swerve)), it looks to be a successful design for this years game so far, hopefully we are just as competitive next weekend. Good luck to everyone, hopefully someone pulls together a webcast so that I can watch the team from Canada.

1138 will be down this weekend. I personally can't wait, and am excited to be playing with (most of) the usual So Cal crew.

Gonna be weird enjoying a regional with no responsibilities.

If that's a problem I'm sure the Volunteer Co-ordinator can fix it for you!

987 has a few things to pack up, and then were ready to head out to San Diego Wednesday afternoon. The team is really excited, and its our first trip to San Digeo.

There actually won't be a social this year.

Unfortunately, the Team Social for the San Diego Regional had to be cancled after a major sponsor backed out due to budget restrictions.

Sorry...

Actually the practice matches were pretty good. Team 330 had one heck of an awesome robot. It was fast, sturdy, and hurdled like a charm. I didn;t catch a team number, but one team literally used a hammer to boot the trackballs over and they were 100% consistent!
