2015 DUEL INFO BLAST #4

Duel on the Delaware
Saturday, October 17, 2015
Salem Community College- Davidow Hall
Carneys Point, NJ

FOCUS OF THIS COMMUNICATION – REMINDER – Registration Updates - Duel Awards and Deadlines

• Success Won’t Wait Book Drive – focus areas and details
• October 1 – Duel Master Volunteer Submission (please recognize a volunteer/mentor on your team!)
• September 15 – Mock Chairmans Award interest – let me know
• No changes in Recycle Rush for this event (we play the official game)




(1) CHARITY BOOK DRIVE – Success Won’t Wait
- Continue to collect your used books for our charity book drive competition.
- Teams bringing the most books by weight will receive a trophy and special awards.
- While many types of books are accepted, the organization is asking for CHILDREN’S BOOKS in particular-
- Please donate books that are organized in boxes that are easily/safely moved by one person. Please don’t leave books in bags or very large containers. Also, please do not put books in bins/boxes that you want back.
- Books are donated to Success Won’t Wait, a literacy non-profit. The mission is to encourage reading, especially for those in need and children.
- ** PLEASE CONSIDER HAVING YOUR TEAM COLLECT BOOKS FOR THIS WORTHWHILE CAUSE **
- For more information, check out http://www.successwontwait.org

(2) MIKE WADE MEMORIAL “DUEL MASTER VOLUNTEER” AWARD
- Mike Wade worked for NASA Goddard and single-handedly is responsible for the creation of a number of off-season events on the East Coast. Please honor his memory by submitted the great things that a mentor or volunteer is doing for your team.
- Teams can submit one nominee who has not yet won the award from their team.
- Nomination form is attached. Please complete and return by October 1st

(3) CHAIRMANS AWARD WARM-UP PRACTICE *3rd year*
- This is not an award per se, but is an opportunity for teams to practice their Chairman’s Award presentation in front of judges
- Teams interested in participating must do the following:
o Respond by September 30th or earlier to let me know that your team is interested in participating. We will have 6 (six) judging slots. These will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
o Send in a FIRST Chairman’s Award Executive Summary (same as FIRST typically requires for the Chairman’s Award). We expect that teams will just send in the same Executive Summary that they may have used for their Chairman’s Award earlier this year.
o Due date for Chairman’s Award Executive Summary is October 5th
o Prepare to present your Chairman’s Award to judges at the Duel. Currently, the presentation would be the same as a typical Chairman’s presentation at an official FIRST event. Depending upon the number of teams who are participating, we reserve the right to modify the presentation time. We expect that it will not change.
o Let us know what you need for your presentation (AV, easels, etc.)
- Our purpose for doing this is to provide teams another opportunity to practice with real judges (we expect to have at least one of the judges be an experienced Chairman’s Award judge) and to provide some helpful feedback for teams as they prepare for the 2016 competition season.

(4) DUEL SPECIAL AWARDS (to be shared soon)

[Hoover]

Watching via the Youtube stream I heard about 357 Royal Assault leaving FRC. Whats up with that?

[Foster]

Who won the event? Who won the Mike Wade award?

[Ben Martin]

225 had a great time at Duel on the Delaware. A big thanks to all the event staff and MAR field crew for fighting through all the equipment issues to give the teams a great experience.

A huge thank-you as well to 4954 for a consistent 2 capped stack throughout almost every elimination match (they only missed one when we were figuring out the process on our first match together) and 321 for their incredibly consistent can delivery and landfill stacking (for every match, 4954's 2nd can was exactly where we needed it to be on the field).

It's always great to see all our friends from all the MAR teams after the long summer/fall break. Looking forward to seeing many of you at Ramp Riot!

Thanks for a great event! We'll be back next year.

[Mike Marandola]
