For those of you who are going to San Jose and are you ready for it?
up we are getting ready for san jose, after major brainstorming over the current state of our robot we are going to have a major upgrade on our robot at San jose and going to build a winch from scratch on thursday.
we will be, but with a few modifications, making our hanging arm a bit longer. and improving our ball bumper.
Good luck to all of you 
I’m glad to hear you guys are going to hang at SVR, Akshay.
258 will be competing at SVR, but we’ll be mad scrambling on Thursday to add potentiometers to our arm and make sure our electronics / programming is in the shape we want it. We’re looking forward to seeing ChiefDelphi out here in California, and we hope that all the teams from out of the area have a great time here. See you all in a little over a week!
Hehehe…thanks! As a team member of Chief Delphi…we’re happy to be getting the chance to come out there to California. We are looking forward to meeting most of the West Coast teams there in San Jose! Also, we are excited about this event as long as Nationals! See everyone in a week!!!
I can’t wait until San Jose… and as a member of chiefdelphi I can’t wait to go to California for my first time. it shuold be an exciting event and you never know what can happen!!!
I agree with the first two entries. This is a FIRST timer that we, Chief Delphi, is actually going to the West coast instead of staying in the Mid West. I hope to see all the teams that are going to be there. That means, more friends and new faces. 
Heh. I find it funny that most of the replies to this thread are by members of 47. I hope we put on a good show for y’all.
I’m mostly scared that we won’t work, but other than that, I’m looking forward to SVR a lot.
Is this really the first time that our team as went to a regional outside the midwest, expect for Huston and Orlando.
I’m READY!!!..btw when i heard of 47 coming i was excited…thats cool…welcome to CA
we will probly work on the arm and rig up current sensors for our planetary puedo CVT This time WE WILL HANG (hopefully)
Thanks
our bot is fine, but all of our members are still exhausted from sacramento!
Where looking forward to see all of you guys out there too.
Hey, you should be glad. We’re excited about San Jose and of course, you are too! =) See you there buddy!
Silicon Valley Regional is going to be very exciting this year! There will be at least 2 regional winners, team 47 and team 254, and one of the Sacramento regional finalist, team 1120, at this completition, plus many othe teams that did very well at Sacramento Regional, Portland Regional, Arizona Regional, and winners from previous year’s California Robot Game, team 258, 852.
Personally, its going to be great seeing the WRRF teams competing again. Teams from out of state may not know about WRRF, but Western Region Robotics Forum has been an organization of teams in the Bay Area who got together a few years ago and decided that as a group, we can better support Robotics education related programs out here. There are lots of great people to meet , you simply have to go around the pit area and talk to them.
Oh yeah, by the way, I will be there at the scoring table stressing out as usual :P. It will be fun score keeping at the oldest West Coast regional since it got started in 1999. I simply cannot believe 5 years ago I was only of the clueless kids standing with the team cheering for our robot.
Its definitely going to be cool!
edit Also, for those of you who are interested, I put together a package for the competing teams with a bunch of info for the area around the regional venue. Check them out at these links:

You just can’t be too prepared for a FIRST competition ;-).
edit
Team 100 will be there, with a robot performing better than last place 
Dont be surprised if you see us with an entirely new drive system.

Hey everyone, team 568 cant wait for the regional to start! See you all there.
Thank You.
I have been trying to put some stuff together for this Reginal. As some of the students said we have never been out to the West Cost yet, we usualy stay in the Mid-West or East Cost area. I am a little nervous going to CA
“blindfolded” :ahh: . I look forward to seeing great things and great teams next weekend.

I can’t wait either there like maybe 6 or 7 teams going to SVR who are not from Califorina.
