Ok,

So we're past the first few post-season events, and everyone is going crazy trying to find things to do with their time. Well, Mayhem In Miami is next weekend, and for all those FIRST-a-holics out there that are slowly starting to go through withdrawal, we are going to be doing a webcast of the event. IT WILL NOT BE LIVE (sorry, but we couldn't get it ready in time) but it should be up within a week of the event.
We are having alliance matches (without the 3x the losers score). 'Best In Flordia' singles matches (one on one competition, double elimination until one team is proclaimed winner). And, at the end we are having a 'King Of The Hill' match, which is going to have 7-8 robots in at a time, who ever is the last robot standing on the ramp at the end is the winner (that's last, we're expecting some brutality there).

So.....

If you're coming, I'll see you in Miami, and if you're not, then look for us on the web real soon!

Modify those rules.

One of the good things about running your own competition is that you get to 'change the FIRST rules' if you wish. As long as changing the rules does not put any one team's robot at a disadvantage, it makes for some interesting new strategy. I look forward to seeing the feed back that you get by not using 3X the losers score

Can't wait to hear how it goes! As for that king of the hill match well...knowing our lanky monkey bot, I'm glad we won't be in the middle of that one! ;-) The different scoring will be interesting to see, I'll be looking for the webcast once you get them up.
