In planning for the Chief Delphi Invitational, we are trying to maximize the event for teams without killing anyone.
What do teams think about the following timeline?
Nov. 15: Game Rules and Field Description is made public via this web site. No details of the kit or robot construction rules are made public other than the 'additional materials' list (things like plywood, PVC pipe, etc.)
Nov. 22: Full kit is available for pick up for local teams and arrives via UPS for non-locals. Full kit list is made public allong with detailed construction rules.
Dec. 4: Competition Day
Comments?
We hope that this will allow teams to think about the game and strategy for playing the game for a week before they have their ideas limited by the reality of an actually kit of materials. Also, it will allow teams to make any practice field type stuff (we promise not to make it too difficult to build) that they feel is necessary. Finally, it will allow teams to find sources for the additional material list before the clock is ticking.
With the addition of another high school as a partner, we think that the extra time is a benefit, but we want your input on this issue as well.
Now is your chance to influence us...
