2007 Davis Sacramento Regional

Competition Regional Competitions
#21

Sundial isn’t a scouting program, but it is useful. It is a program that hosts the schedule and tells you when your next match is, and what your alliance is.

We actually revised our scouting system greatly this year in hopes of picking. While that didn’t happen (43/48 :X) we still have some decent to high quality data from SVR. If any of the teams competing at Davis would like to see it, just ask. We can also share the program we used (768’s program with some modifications) and the sheets we used.

yes, sumadin is right. Its not really a scouting program, its more like the FIRST scoring program, but some what personalized for individual teams. If you would like to get a preview of what its about and how it works here is a link to this years version set up for last years game.

675 will for the first time in our teams history be making it to davis. I’m quite proud of how they’ve done this year, both in fundraising and building.

Hey, who’s all entering Chairman’s at this competition? Just out of curiosity ^^

#25

Since I wasn’t able to make Silicon Valley Regional last weekend, I will be returning to the Davis Regional volunteering as a referee again.

I really look forward to this because so many Cal Games Teams are showing up! (100, 114, 115, 766, 1280, 1351…)

See you next weekend!

#26

I hear at the Sacramento Regional, they’ve declared that the pit size is smaller than usual. (9’ by 9’)
This is going to make so much trouble! Not only are we going to have to find a new way to fit all our stuff into the pit but we’re going to have to cut large sections off the frame and remake it. frustration

now for the positive stuff
Our pit is going to be right beside 997’s! (PNW Champs) :smiley:
Gonna be great! Good luck everybody!

#27

yeah it’s going to be awesome to by some real neighbors :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

and I cant believe that, we just had a banner made to put up sponsors and other places.
>.> dang it, that’s like a multi hundred dollar investment.
to bad about your frames that stinks

#28

Could you please tell us where you heard that?

#29

I believe that the main contacts were sent an e-mail be the local regional director (I got one today)

#30

I 2nd this, I got mine today too.

#31

I can’t wait for Davis, especially with our buddies over at Team 100 going as well.

Also, we get to meet some teams we’ve not seen before. This’ll be 675’s first year at Davis, and we hope to do really good.

Heh, I thought you had disappeared, Jefferies. (And yes, I’m aware you’re going to RIT).

Yeah, we’ve been doing pretty good. We made it to the semifinal rounds with the #3 Alliance at SVR. Gloria had her arm taken off – it was useless anyways and now we make weight. If you want more information, feel free to PM me.

Anywho, 675 is hoping for a Regional win or Regional Runner-up (Preferrably the first, but we’ll have to see). We’re really glad to be doing as good as we are and we want to go to Nationals.

#32

I sent that out. With 39 teams, and the 15’ x 30’ Practice Field, it was felt there wasn’t room for 10x10 pits so it got reduced to 9’x9’. Not my decision - just the bearer of bad news. I do apologize for not getting that info out earlier, it was dicussed 3 weeks ago, but I didn’t realize the finality of it until I got the pit layout this Wednesday. Our team has gone ahead and reduced our PVC Structure to 9’x9’ (easy for PVC). If you have a 10’ banner, maybe the sides can wrap around 6" on each side? A metal pit structure? I’ll pm you. Sorry folks, if we continue to expand this regional, we may very well end up on the 3rd floor. It could be worse.

#33

Better to get this information now than show up in Davis expecting a bigger one. At least teams have time to adjust their pit. Thanks for the heads up.

#34

Thanks for understanding. After seeing some of the pits at Bayou and last year at PNW, we’ve toyed with making a pit out of 80/20 or BOSCH extrusion. Luckily we keep taking the cheap way out and continue using PVC.

#35

It’s Jeffries, but no matter. I’ll be out in June to take a better look at the bot and take a look at all the new stuff you guys got. Good luck at Davis!

#36

Davis is two days away, who else is stoked?

Tomorrow, I get to bring my luggage to school so that it can be driven over to Sacramento to our hotel, then Thursday morning I get to wake up at like 5AM (I’m going down before the rest of my team, who are leaving at 8:15AM from our school) so I can go get Gloria and our pit ready.

Good luck to everybody and I hope to have a great time!

#37

114 is ready and eager to be there in full force. We’re correcting all the mistakes we made at SVR, and are ready to bring it out in full force.

Watch for the Lab Coats!

#38

YAY! DAVIS! W00t W00t!

I can’t wait. Its gonna be awesome! There are going to be a lot of out-of-state teams there too.
Teams I want to meet:
-753
-1359 (I want more pirate pins:] )
-1072
-997

We’ll definitely be breaking out the ramps at Davis :wink:

ROFL! I kid. We don’t have any ramps! But I scared you there didn’t I?!:smiley:

#39

When I read the ramp part, yeah, I was thinking “100’s gonna be the best team there, no doubt”.

You’ll still be pretty high up, I speculate. But speculation is worthless, it’s performance that counts.

#40

Gah, I was gonna say, WHERE WERE THEY AT SVR?!? :yikes:

I can’t wait to see everyone there, and eat dinner with 100 on Thursday night, that should be fun! I’ll be sporting my honorary 100 hat as usual :stuck_out_tongue:

Less than 2 days left!
