Hey everyone, just to let you know team 555 outta Northern NJ is thinking of making a competition in september or october, in which we create our own game and teams can use past KOP to build a robot to compete. This is a great way to train freshman and other newbies about the ways of first before the actual compettiton. There is a competition like this run out in Michigan called OCCRA and they said that 469 has competed in it in the past two years and last year they were national champs and this year they were national finalist. IF anyone is interested please check out the "Exciting New Competition" thread in the general forum, and respond ASAP, this wont happen if we dont get enough teams so please consider it.

Bash at the Beach

We usually try to hit up as many as possible.. so far we're planning on:

Beantown Blitz
Canada Wonderland
Mayhem at the Merrimack
Battlecry@WPI 5
RiverRage
Bash at the Beach

Any others within a couple hours drive that come up we'll probably get a group going to attend. We usually do Rally in the Valley and the Maryland State Fair, but we haven't heard word if those are happening yet. I'm sure if they do, we'll be there.

According to Mike Wade, the Maryland State Fair is not inviting the robots back this year since they figure the Fair can make more money by renting the space to someone else. :(
We are disappointed since this was always a great place for us to recruit sponsorship and get the local publicity, although it was grueling 3 days of competition and plus another few days juggling school and PR at the Fair.

Team 33 will probably (hopefully) be at the IRI this year, as well as the Kettering Kickoff and the Sweet Repeat, same as the past 2 years.

We'll be going to PARC on May 8th... and perhaps another one in the Fall if we have a chance (read: $).

341 loves offseason events and will be attending;

PARC
New Brunswick Eruption
Duel on the Delaware
and of course, our home event, Ramp Riot...

due to the Maryland State Fair being cancelled we're also hoping to attend 303's event and 225's event, although I haven't heard any definite word from our coach..

Meredith Rice

20-04-2004, 19:24

As usual.....
PARC
Duel on the Delaware
Ramp Riot

New this year, 1391's (Westtown Robotics) Delaware Valley Robotics Comp on May 1st. That is if we can actually register, been having trouble doing so.

On my wish list is IRI. Its a long haul but a few others and myself would love to go, I just hope we can convince the team. Since we are a small team we were hoping to join some other PA team(s) to get a bus. Any one think thats a possibility ;) ?

20-04-2004, 20:20

you daisies should come to bash @ the beach, we'd love to have you guys!!

How about if the Ticks come to Ramp Riot and us daisies go to Bash at the Beach? I could try to sell my coach on that...

Alex Cormier

20-04-2004, 20:23

We could ask and run it by our advisors. Bash @ The Beach isnt for a while so you'll have plenty of time to beg

PARC and of course RAMP RIOT

20-04-2004, 20:38

As far as I know team 316 the LuNaTeCs will be attending two offseason competitions. P.A.R.C(222-Tigertrons) and of course the best offseason competition the Duel on the Delaware co-hosted with 365 MOE.
I believe Ramp Riot may be in the question. Whether we still have a team or not.

DCA Fan

20-04-2004, 20:58

We will be attending the SCRRF Fall Classic. I must get to work on creating an off-season event here on the west coast during the summer.

Solace

20-04-2004, 21:02

we'll be going to beantown, battlecry, and bash @ the beach.

we're also trying to pull together aa group for a roadtrip out to IRI, but that isn't finalized yet.

We will of course be attending the bash at the beach with 236 (considering we help host it) but 521 is also looking to get in on 1 more comp possibly River Rage or Battle Cry, but neither of those have been finalized.

re: md competition

We (449) were thinking that if there is no state fair in MD we should host a replacement competition. We'll let you know if and when we have more information.

Also, I'm trying to find out all the competitions that we could go to and it is hard to find info on a lot of them. Here is what i have found for competitions from VA noth to new england:

Beantown Blitz -Boston, May 22
Bash at the Beach -?? Where is this?
Mayhem at the Marrimack -Tydingsboro MA June 12
Battlecry@WPI 5 -Worcester, MA June 19
RiverRage -Manchester, NH Sept, 11
FallFury/Elm City? -October, Keene NH
Dual on the Delaware -NJ-oct 23, Salem Comm College, Carney's PT, NJ
PARC -May 8, Erie, PA-Tunkhannock
Ramp Riot V -Wissahickon Nov 7 or 13 Ambler, PA
Summer Frenzy -York, PA, Aug 14, 24 teams, $150
11?/1302 -Mt. Olive, NJ (NW NJ)
Rally in the Valley -Lebanon NH
SBPLI-LI ? -Oakdale NY

Can anyone fill in more info?
We are looking specifically for northern VA, MD, southern PA, DE, or southern NJ. I thought i heard something about one in delaware. That would be nice...

Thanks!

Bash is held in CT, last year we had it at our own school in Old Lyme but we've held it at different schools for a bigger space. Bash wont be until Septemberish so keep an eye out

Duel is actually just across the river from Delaware. Regarding PARC, it is not at all associated with Erie, PA - other side of the state to be exact [In Tunkhannock]!

Greg Perkins

21-04-2004, 11:47

team 134 will be attending PARC in may...and more than likely all of the local ones... we were semi finalists at BAE by the way...with upgrades a suprise ;)

I know that We at Team 1086 are looking to see if anyone would be interested in attending an Off-Season here in Richmond, VA. This is new for this year, and we want to see if anyone would be interested. Please just post a relpy or you can email me at mike.obrien.drhs@richmond.com and tell us if you would like to come and have some fun.

I don't think team 5 itself is going to any next year, seeing as how this is probably our last year...but I'm going to try to goto Kettering and IRI on my own if the team is no more.

I believe that one of the rookie teams from Delaware is going to have an offseason event. As far as the DE/southern NJ competition that would be the Duel on the Delaware. It is held at our home base SCC, Salem Community College. We co-host the event with team 365 MOE. Info on the Duel will be released shortly on MOE's website. www.moe365.org

I wouldn't mind driving up to Bash @ the Beach even if Miss Daisy doesn't go officially. It sounds like a great competition. Ramp Riot is definitely a can't miss event on the East Coast. Many top teams should be in attendance. I also believe that there is a canned food drive and after raffling off an I-POD, who knows what the Daisies will come up with this year? Please come by (even if you'r team doesn't come) and help make 2004 Ramp Riot the best Ramp Riot ever.

November 13th will be the best November 13th ever, don't miss it. :)

1305 will be attending Canada's Wonderland. Can't wait to see everyone. :)

I don't know. Last year we went to the Maryland State Fair but that is no more. And we also went to the Duel on the Deleware. that maybe a possibility. Besides we are trying to save some money so we can go to 3 regionals and possible Atlanta, again. If and only if we win an award, or win a reginal or be on the winning alliance. We shall see...

Ryan M.

10-05-2004, 06:48

The Dayton, Ohio competition. Don't know if it has an official name. :)

Alex Pelan

10-05-2004, 15:52

Battlecry @ WPI 5
is the only one that I know of that we are going to. We've never been too big on offseason competitions. Hopefully that can be changed.

Dave_222

10-05-2004, 18:47

Let's see, we attended 6 mini comps last year, and i think we are planning on 7 this year, starting with BTB, Battle Cry, IRI, York, and then the typical east coast circuit, Duel, BE, and RR.

Peace,
Dave

The N.E.W. Apple Corps will be attending IRI, of course. We missed last year and REALLY MISSED being there.

How do all the rest of you afford (time and money) to attend so many off-season events? I see some of you are attending up to a half dozen! I'd like to see our team extend it's season like that but can't imagine the cost associated.

Sean

I am not sure what my alma mater has planed this year. However, during my driver days and we traveled the "MidAtlantic" circuit like some others - all costs were placed upon those traveling. Usually, it was just the floor team, and 3-4 other students. Along with parents, mentors, and engineers. We would all load up tools, and the robot into our own vehicles, and make the long trips ourselves. Most were day trips, however comps. such as MD Fair were 3 day events and were much costlier.

13-05-2004, 21:21

88 will be attending:
Beantown Blitz
Mayhem on the Merrimack (I will not be there personally due to my cousin's graduation)
BattleCry
River Rage...

Though I might just might be attending Bash at the Beach with some of my friends... If anyone can give me any info on it that would be great!!!

We host Fall Fury at our school in Keene NH, so obviously we will be there. Our event will be held in October, with a registration fee of $100.00 to participate. We will have more info at Beantown Blitz, and we will post it on Chief Delphi.

Unfortuanatly, for the fifth year in a row, Sparky will not be going to an off-season competition. Why not host one, you say? Easy, we do not have enough resoures to start one, maintain it, and such.
