2009 Silicon Valley Regional

[JM987]

Who's going?!

[Cory]

254 will be there and is looking forward to seeing (and finally playing with) our friends from Vegas again.

[BT987]

sounds good to me

[R.C.]

Team 1323 signed up for Davis, but we are planning to come down to Silicon. See you guys there.

[=Martin=Taylor=]

Team 100 will be there as always.

Welcome back 987, 359, 2024, and 2283! I look forward to hearing the Mexican anthem again, it was quite an impressive performance.


Will Gompei be in attendance this year? Tickets are a bit pricey I hear...

[R.C.]

I was kinda hoping to see Team 100 at Davis, We were missing you guys last year.

[Blue_Mist]

Hey, cool, looks like Team 766 will be there as we have been for the last seven years... We look forward to seeing you all!

We are definitely most likely going to be attending Davis this year because many families don't feel they can afford to travel further.

That's a good thing for me, since I was planning to go anyway

Maybe you should like start a thread or something...

I was going to wish 840 luck and express my odd feelings at not going, but... umm... apparently they didn't sign up? What is going on with that? I suspect no one from my old team reads these forums, but if anyone does, what is going on?

That same site says there are only 38 teams signed up for SVR and no more spots... weren't there more spots last year? In fact, I remember 48...

EDIT: Checking my scouting sheets, there were indeed 48 teams last year. Have 10 teams really been cut, or is the FIRST site mistaken?

The listed capacity is always less, and we always end up with more teams. FIRST holds back spots for local rookie teams that are not shown publicly. I would expect that as usual SVR ends up with 45-48 teams or so.

Well, 840 has now signed up, so good luck to them! And to everyone else... it'll be weird watching the webcast from home...

Price notwithstanding, 190 has to attend Week 2 and 4 regionals this year to do a shifted school schedule, so we will not be making the trek out to California.

I, personally, will be at SVR with my other team, 971.

[115inventorsam]

Team 115 will be there as we have been ever since the regional was created.
Great to hear about the out-of-state teams that are coming, especially 987 and 2024, I'm really looking forward to build season and the competition season now.

359 is looking forward to attending after a 6 year hiatus.

Ooooh!!! Ooooh!!! Me Me!!

Come to think of it, 2009 will be the 10th anniversary of SVR, the first regional on the west coast (although I believe it used to be called The Western Regional).

In 1999 team 100 picked a small struggling rookie team for our second pick. A team some of you might of heard of... trivia points to whoever gets this
