2073 will definitely be there. If all goes according to plan, I will actually be able to attend with them 
. (Sorry, long story)
Cory - How did you know? (I had no idea we were considered a “big name team”, but we’re quite flattered…)
Yes, the Robodox (599) will be returning to our one-time “home away from home” and we’re excited to be back!
-Mr. Van
Robodox Coach
I don’t think 330 will be coming–they’re usually a 2-regional team. L.A. is their home regional, and they’re planning on DC for their away regional.
[edit] Cory, is the mystery team you speak of the blue-and-black twin of the red-and-black team mentioned earlier?
The Hawaii teams 359/368 wont be there also.
We are attending Oregon and San Jose this year.
Maybe next year since Vacaville is close by. 
Fundraising has been tight, but we’ll get the money. This is my first year with the team, apparently they always just manage to make it. Hopefully in coming years we’ll have a more structured fundraising process 
Initial Registration doesn’t require payment until Dec. While I imagine it won’t fill up in the next few weeks, they should still try to register and secure their spot. It also helps us folks on the planning committee to know who’s coming.
PS: Rex, I sent you a pm.
Normally I have to wait until after the holidays to get psyched for this regional. Now I get to recruit and manage all the volunteers in the meantime. Giggidy.
If you’re looking to volunteer for this regional, don’t forget to sign up through VIMs on the first website. usfirst.org
The sooner the better. We’re still looking for a Head Referee and Head Robot Inspector.
My guess would be 233 too(hasn’t been denied yet right?). Or could it be…217!? 25!? 1717!? I don’t know, I’m just throwing out well known numbers now.
Anyways, 115 will be there as usual for our second regional, I love going to Davis, and now there’s even better competition!
Do you have a favorite memory at SAC?
Yes I do, In 2007 when 100 got a ringer stuck on their flag pole and they still managed to win the match. I believe the ringer was stuck for atleast half the match. That was cool.
meh that was the last match, we lost to em. 
personally i liked the match about 2-3 before that:
http://www.thebluealliance.net/tbatv/match.php?matchid=3710
our semi-finals match, when the buzzer rang, we were 100% sure we lost and we were all dissapointed because the other teams were both up on ramps. 5 seconds later we look over and VOILA the ramps drop, and we’re suddenly going to the finals.
I couldn’t hear anything over the screams from our team.
My favorite memory was semifinals in 2008. In the last round (3rd round - the tiebreaker), one of our alliances robots malfunctioned in autonomous and had to be E-stopped.
Yet we still managed to win, while outnumbered.
My favorite memory is definitely the epic Quarterfinal 1 matchup in 2007 that went 5 matches, when Alliance 8 (1662, 295, and 1726) almost knocked out Alliance 1 (100, 997, and 1458).
Of course, there is also last year, when we went through eliminations undefeated with 2122 and 1662 and won, that was pretty shocking because that was our second regional win of the year, both as second round picks!
675 will be there again, for the third straight year. looking to build off our success. Best of luck guys
Darn you Michelle! you beat me to it!
Yes!!! 692 is happily returning for another year to Davis. our “home” 
I wouldn’t get your hopes up, with the Greater Toronto Regional on the same weekend.
and that would be the match that we lost to you guys… it took us fewer than 5 seconds to go from screaming to silent disbelief… definitely memorable! :eek:
I think my favorite memory would be this past year, when our mentor won the Woodie Flowers award! I’ve never cried so hard out of happiness before.
Nope, sorry
You make an excellent point.
has anyone said no to 330 yet?
they would be EXCELLENT competition.
