I believe we're officially registered, I hear a lot of teams didn't make it in this year.

After the server crash it was pretty well filled up...

I believe 254 decide to go to Las Vegas instead. Anyone know if 997 is coming? I know they've lost a lot of money recently, but it would be awesome to play with them again.

Hachiban, we were partnered with them last year and I believe they will be coming back to this regional. Not 100% positive though, hey lets party up then. 100, 997, and 1323 lol.

yeah 701 didn't make it either......so much for perfect attendance.

Yep, 1717's signed up this year . Hope to meet you all in competition!

Well that's nice to hear, unfortunately 115 has decided to look elsewhere after being waitlisted. Even though the chances are pretty good that we would still end up making it if we waited, we're in the process of choosing a different regional.

So that means we don't get to defend our title with 2122 and 1662, wish you all good luck.

EDIT: Actually, I don't think I should make this official, Davis is still probably our top option. Things are pretty confusing right now

I am looking forward to seeing you guys at Davis, we loved playing with you guys at San Diego.

I don't think we are going to make it this year, unless something changes soon it looks like our attendance this year will be limited to portland (The Oregon regional, or whatever it's called now )

We're going to miss you all at Davis! It has been one of my favorite places to compete! And that food court, with unlimited ice cream...... TO DIE FOR!!!!

I know the Tators are sorry to hear that the Spartans might not make it back to Sacramento. While the competition was heated and the emotions ran high during the championships last year, we have enjoyed the 997 robots and your team (especially when our robots weren't locked up ). Were looking forward to seeing you in Sacramento, but are glad we will at least see you at the PNW regional. Hang in there guys.

Alright, now I can make a real official statement on behalf of MVRT115. We will be going to Davis, we managed to get info about the maximum capacity(42 teams) and our position on the list(41st out of all the teams registered), and our situation is looking good for Davis, so we will indeed be in Davis to defend our title. See you all there!

I remember that well, I was at the Drivers Station for team 295 when our team captain rammed team 100 and they fell over. but 20 secsonds earlier our allaince partner, team 1662 rammed team 997 and they fell over it was 3 on 1. we actually won that match. then we tied them then, then we lost, then we tied them, and then we finnally lost. that match was my favorite memory in FIRST
