You really had me going there. I was thinking, “Now who’s gonna be able to stand up against 100?” :yikes:
But anyways, I’m looking forward to Davis, but like SVR, I won’t be showing up til Friday morning with most of the guys. MVRT will be there in full force, and I mean in numbers too, you’ll see quite a lot of purple, at least I hope you do.
Speaking of which, Marvin, would there be any way for me to get a Team 100 hat? Those things are awesome (plus I like showing support for other teams).
I get to go on Thursday, again (I did for SVR, too. Nothing like working all 6 weeks of build season).
Team 1280 will be at Davis ready and excited for a very fun regional! It will be intresting to compare the amount of teams strategys who decide whats more important hanging or lifting or a mix so near to the championship. Good luck to everyone attending!! 
we are…haha
:X
we are having some serious transmission problems, banebots has been out of stock for 2+ weeks. they are definatly killing us. we got an email back from them today, they said they have a shipment enroute but they are having delays with customs. so 1671 maybe in need of a spare to start us off…one broke during practice before we shipped…(it was the spur gear getting stuck on the shaft issue). we had the gear meachined again and it fits on…still havnt put it all back together, we will be doing that tomorrow to see if it will run at least. so if any of you have spares, we may need to buy it off you!!
I’m not certain, but there is a chance that 1726 brought the kit transmissions with them to the competition. We don’t use them on our robot, so if you stop by I’m sure someone in the pit would be glad to help!
We’ll be bringing 2 banebots trannys (we didn’t use them). Feel free to help yourself.
Nothing like prepping for a regional by packing clothes while listening to some Finnish Industrial music. Aw yeah.
How about procrastinating packing while listening to English Folk Rock? Almost as good right? :rolleyes:
Yeah! I can dig folk rock/metal.
Would it happen to be Skyclad, perchance?
We may not have ramps, but we WILL have an autonomous mode (if I get it working…:rolleyes: )
Nope, Steeleye Span, which I class as Folk Rock. It’s got electric guitar… it counts. 
We promise to try not to break/hurt you guys this time 
Alot of OutbackMFG teams will be in UC Davis…Prepare for lots of Tracks!
By the way, does anyone know what there doing about Mascots this year? I’m the Mascot (again) and want to make sure I have the same dancing area along w/ the other mascots (The Macarana last yeat was so fun!). Will we be on the floor, or in the stands!?!?!)
we got here, Vacaville that is
we have a pair of kit BB drive transmisions in the van with the rest of the spare parts.
see y’alls tomorrow!
(btw, nice weather)
Im TOTALLY READY for this competition,
The only team left I want to see who i have not already sen is 100, so the feeling is mutual
That’s exciting ^^. Good luck!! It’s going to be our first year doing it…yikes lol. Me and my buddy who’s doing the interview with me have been working on it for quite some time so hopefully everything will go well…Hopefully lol.
yeah were just a third year team
i dont see us winning it
but it gives us a look at what its like
and what to prepare for
when we do actually think we have a shot
i do want to give credit though to the people
on our team who put so much effort into
our essay and board…and everything else
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
While 675 has no spares (we designed our bot so we wouldn’t need them if a motor failed), I’ll gladly help any and all teams out who need it. I plan on walking around with a large cresent wrench, too, so if you see me, feel free to stop and ask for help.
I mean, if I can’t be on the Pit Maintenance crew for my team, doesn’t mean I can’t help others with their bots (and I offered at SVR, too).
We (114) will also have spare BaneBots transmissions. We don’t use them so if there’s a need, drop by our pit. Look for the white lab coats if you ever need any help!
you guys are amazing
