Is it girls only? Or just a set of girls only matches?

[MrTechCenter]

There is a set of girls-only matches between lunch and elims.

[DampRobot]

We might be interested, although I'd have to talk to mentors and such.

[billbo911]

We definitely would LOVE to have team 100 in attendance!

but not 973 and 1323? ;)

[Reanna]

Team 692 has been looking forward to this for months and will definitely be attending!

[billbo911]

but not 973 and 1323? ;)

Sorry Adam, I was just responding directly to his statement. By no means was I trying to exclude any team.

In fact, we REALLY HOPE to see 973 and 1323 there.

If we were to list all the teams we hope will attend, the list would look a lot like Pi written out to the thousandth place. :cool:

It's going to be a great event!!!

I'm glad this price was lowered, I was going to complain that the price was disproportionately high compared to the other CA events we attend.

Sorry about that, when I first posted the event pricing I used the wrong number. The price listed on that post is now more accurate, as it has been corrected. Thank you for your interest, and we hope to see you all there!

[MrTechCenter]

Registration and volunteer registration are now open!

Register at: www.powerhousepwnage.org

[AdamHeard]

What is the address of the venue? Not seeing it on the site.

[MrTechCenter]

What is the address of the venue? Not seeing it on the site.

We purposely have not posted it yet. 99.999% chance that it will be at:

Pleasant Grove High School
9531 Bond Road
Elk Grove, CA 95624

We didn't post it because the school district has not finalized the paperwork, but they approved this before so it shouldn't be a problem.

I have a couple more important updates for teams who are attending, as well as those who are thinking about attending:

-Introducing the Intel© Scholarship for Powerhouse Pwnage, a scholarship opportunity meant to aid teams who cannot afford the standard Powerhouse Pwnage registration fee. Teams who would like to attend the Powerhouse Pwnage Off-Season Competition and are interested in this fantastic opportunity can read more
here (http://www.wolfpackrobotics.org/powerhousepwnage/register/intel-scholarship-powerhouse-pwnage/).

-In addition to a set of all-female drive team exhibition matches, Powerhouse Pwnage will be giving awards to females who have gone above and beyond in the field of engineering and the community of FIRST. We will also be holding all-girl exhibition matches after qualification matches! You can find more information here (http://www.wolfpackrobotics.org/powerhousepwnage/sample-page/about-chicks-n-charge/).

-A party will be held immediately following the close of pits on Friday September 13th, and will be free to enter for the first 15 teams that register for the event. The party will include video games, table games, a dessert bar, music/dance, and a movie screening. Make sure you register soon if you want to enjoy this experience for FREE.

Click here (http://www.wolfpackrobotics.org/powerhousepwnage/) for more information about the event, to register your team, or to register to volunteer.

I'm going to be very excited to see 701, 973 and 1678's offseason bots. Anyone on this thread care to comment about what they might be?

By the way, I thought 1323 was fielding their practice and comp bots?

I can't wait for the competition.

We'll only be bringing 4-5 or so students up for one day, we decided to only bring a single bot.

Looking forward to playing with all the teams there!

[T^2]

We will only be bringing one robot.

[MrTechCenter]

Update on the list! Adding 841 and 4643 and dropping 701's second robot for a total of 22 robots. There's STILL ROOM though.

[DampRobot]

Is there an official schedule? We'd like to know what time the competition starts and ends to schedule carpools.
