2007 Finger Lakes Regional!

Hey Greg! Saw you on channel 13 news last night getting your ticket.
So you treating everyone too lunch on Friday and Saturday with your winnings (and becomming the principle spnsor of all the robotics teams in the Rochester area)?

details?

I went to buy a lottery ticket at the 7-11 by my house last night for the 370 million dollar jackpot, and a news crew was there interviewing people. I got interviewed but didn’t even know I was actually on the news until a couple people said they saw it.

one even felt it was required to send the link to the whole team.

p.s. I didn’t win :frowning:

edit: after being bugged for it, here is the link http://www.13wham.com/mediacenter/local.aspx

FLR Update - MOE is in Rochester and settling in for a fun day of practice and scouting tomorrow. See you all bright and early.

welcome to rochester…enjoy the balmy weather that we are having!:yikes:

I’m not sure if it will be up on thursday or friday but were going to have a computer game based on our mascot at the Finger Lakes Regional in ours pits (The Amazing Robot Guy Game). Be sure to check it out!

All I can say is this was the easiest Field to setup in years! No allnighters today! NIce!

See you all bright and early tomorrow !

Ellery

Im leaving Clarkson right now. 221 miles to go… should be there around 9 :slight_smile:

It’s bright, or would be if it weren’t semi-white-out conditions. It’s, fairly early, and team 229 is getting ready to head in for a work filled Thursday. Just want to wish any one that’s already here a safe, and fun filled pit day, and everone on their way a safe trip.

good luck to all teams!!! hope everyone has a great practice day!!! i wanna be there so bad but i got class till 3 or so then i will be there prob by 330!!! see you all there!!!:smiley:

The practice day is over! It was, as always, amazing to see all of the designs from Rochester. It will be an interesting tournament here in Rah-Cha-Cha. It ran smoothly today and SparX finally unveiled their robot!(lol) Good luck teams tomorrow!

Wow, tomorrow is going to be great. There are some really nice robots here, and I can’t wait to see how things work out in the qualification rounds.

Some of my favourite bots from today:
354
229
1126
365
174
191
2228

We (772) had to remove the claw on our arm since it put our robot outside of the 72"x72" bounds with the ramps deployed, and because the joint couldn’t handle being hit by other robots. It has forced us to play the game differently, and led us to playing a practice match we aren’t too proud of (MOE 365 - we really apologize for being overly aggressive in that last match). We do hope to put the manipulator back on for our next competition.

Anyways, best of luck to everyone tomorrow.
