I know 1671 is excited to be at CVR and can’t wait to compete. 1671 will also be attending the Sacramento Regional.
In order
I expect some slow starts in the first matches as teams get used to driving their robots and competing for the first time. Then as qualifications wear on I expect the competition to ramp up significantly. I’m talking autonomous scoring, some hanging above the first bar, and some of the better matches having scores at or above 100. I know the potential in these Cali teams and I want to see it shine brightly in week 1. I hope everyone has fun and plays hard. See you at CVR. 
I’ll be there volunteering as a Robot Inspector! See everyone there!

Really bummed we couldn’t make it schedule-wise to CVR this year…it was the highlight of our season last year. I’m really hoping for a live stream, if anyone is aware of a link please post!
You should be able to watch it on The Blue Alliance
Dibs on inspecting us!
Looking forward to making the drive down to Madera! Got two teams to root for. should be a blast. Good luck to all teams!
We got him after you!

Predictions? Hopes? Wishes? Thoughts, anybody?
As usual, 1323, 1678, 973, 1671, 3256 will all bring-on the competition. And no doubt that these teams will be in the top 8 (most probably in the top 4). I hope for a CVR as intense as the first one is.
With borrowed hand tools, a jig saw, lots of sweat and the awesomeness of teams 254, 604, 1868 Rookie Team 4543 The Illuminator’s from Apollo High School San Jose is beyond excited to be attending the CVR.
We have a solid kit bot on steroids based robot. 6 wheel, 4 CIM, timing belt driven with Victor speed controllers. A working gyro controlled autonomous, pneumatic floor pick up scoop, dumping hopper with a guaranteed last second 10 point hang. The drive team is well coached and practiced.
See you in a few days

I’ll be there with a few friends to check out the awesome competition. Can’t wait to see what 973 and 1671 have come up with!
2493 is leaving Riverside after work tomorrow… Road Trip!
…and we have already driven our practice bot to death, so our drivers and robot is ready to score
Help,
We were prepping a pair of CIMS for install last night and found out we have the wrong gear input.
If anyone has a pair of:
12x520 CIM Gear (am-0741)12 tooth, 0.315 inch bore w/ 2mm keyway for the Cimplex Box please see Roy on Team 4543
Peace out see you guys tomorrow.
Will there be a webcast this year?
or scores, or posts, or pictures, or tweets…anything?
EDIT: That was the 2012 webcast.
So it looks like there isn’t a live feed of CVR this year?
Your not missing much. Some field problems and a philibuster Named mark Leon are putting cvr behind schedule.
There’s a webcast on at http://www.thebluealliance.com/gameday#view_0=2013cama-1
There’s no sound, but we’ll figure something out.
