I know its pretty early inthe season still to know for sure where your going but…
Whose Coming to the LA So CAL Regional ?(Especially interested in outside LA teams)
-Osc-
I think this is the year Canada is coming, hosted by Team 22.
I’ll confirm that. Yes, team 188, Woburn Robotics, is coming this year. We will be coming, of course.
I can tell you that all of 188 is looking forward to SoCal, as by the end of march we are usually pretty tired of winter setting in and we’ll be glad to get a respite (I also have some family in the LA area :D). Also it would be very very interesting to see some different styles of play on the west coast. of course there was atlanta, but that was such a hodgepodge of teams that no real pattern was developed. its going to be very interesting to see how strategies and robots differ from waterloo (our most probable regional before) to SoCal the next week!
Remember that last year SoCal was almost completely full after the first registration deadline. If you want to go, make sure you register early.
1110 will be there for sure.
If this is the one by USC, or the Los Angeles Sports Arena then yes…see ya there
its not at the sport arena this year
!!!
its the great western arena
Scratch that. We will instead be attending the Las Vegas Regional this year.
We’ll be at LA as usual. But not at Phoenix. So that means more effort goes into our robot and succeeding at LA because we don’t have a “practice” regional and we don’t have travel to worry about. We’re going for the blue banner this year. 
Ya, that place… same as last year right?
Last year was the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. This year it is at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood.
The Clippers used to play in the Sports arena, and the Kings used to play in the Forum (and now the question is whether they will ever play again), if that helps any.
thats the point , its not, its the great western forum
last few years its been at the la sport arena but the forum gave them a better deal for the event.
check the first website or youll be the only team waiting outside the gates of the la sport arena wondering where everyone else is:ahh:
294 is looking forward to seeing familiar faces in Los Angeles!
Team 599 Robodox will be there! We’ll also have our First Aid Station there, also. Definately looking forward to it. On a sidenote, are any formal gettogethers going to take place? Like going to Universal City Walk or anything? I think it would be a lot of fun we did =)
Plans are in work for an informal gathering at Universal on Saturday night. This may or may not include reduced price tickets for Universal Studios, that is still under negotiation. This event would be semi-official, organized and arranged by the Regional Committee but not funded by FIRST or sponsors like a team party. So people will have to pay their own way and there will be non-FIRST people as well.
Teams are welcome to arrange their own events on other nights. (Mini-Golf tournament on Wed night anyone?)

I see you guys are comming there too this year :), I liked your homer hat or was it a mask that you guy put on someones head and walked around :P.
812 will be coming from San Diego.
Ditto Hue… I think one or two more teams from San Diego are coming… but some are going off to Vegas, which is the same weekend… 
SoCal is going to be great though. :smiles:
I know this is wayy early to start talking about this- but Team San Diego’s also hosting the post-season lock-in and scrimmage this year. Tons of fun! Great weather! So keep an eye out for info…
