I just checked the website and it seems to be working fine. At any rate, if you can't access it, the email address to send to is smwonder@comcast.net. That is for Wayne Cokeley - he is out of town right now so he might not answer right away. He will be home after July 19.

[Corey Balint]

Come Join us at Brunswick Eruption V.3.0

Come on all you Northeast teams, heck Midwest teams too, with nothing to do the day before Halloween, this is a great event to come to, always competitive always fun. We also may throw in a few Halloween type ideas in there too.

So far we are being headlined by teams like; 11(Palmetto Regional Winners), 303 and 56(NJ regional winners), 222(runners up at Chesapeake and Philly), 25 19 and 1089(Bridgewater Offseason event winners), and 1403 who were rookie all stars at NJ.

A Hawaiian Halloween, could there be anything better?

I don't know if the robot is going to come up or not... we've only had one meeting so far... but i will mention it on Monday. At the least i plan on coming up; and i know i have at least one student who wants to go with me... but i have not mentioned the idea to anyone else.

We'd love to have the Miracle Workers there and we are coming down to DoD the week before. But I think you would need to twist a lot of arms to make it happen.

Yeah, I'll be there, seeing how I just spent the past week working on the scoring program, and it's not even all done yet :-p.

[Michael Leicht]

does anyone have an idea for the Costume Contest?

[Corey Balint]

I've got some good ones-but i need a few things before i can do it.

[Wayne C.]

Brunswick Eruption 3.0 is just two weeks away

We currently have 23 teams signed up- your team could be 24!!

We need just 1 more team to assure all teams can be in the elimination rounds with full alliances. Why not get your team in while you still can?

The tikis are waiting........

seer the list at http://www.geocities.com/brunswick_eruption/BrunswickEruption.html?1059578951843



WC :cool:

[Corey Balint]

Come on all you teams out there, just one more to sign up to guarantee a fun time for everyone. 7 more and we can make it 10 alliances :D

[Corey Balint]

Come on guys and gals, still some time to sign up. I guarantee a great time.

[Elgin Clock]

does anyone have an idea for the Costume Contest?
Can I fax in a pic of me in my costume and be eligible??

(I'm guessing no.. lol)

[Corey Balint]

Thats quite possibly the wor...best idea ive ever heard. Only problem is our school is too poor to have a fax machine :(

[looneylin]

Hey, well my team (433 firebirds) can't attend Brunswick Eruption, *tear :( * but I'll be there. :D Hoping to see you guys there! :D

[MOEmaniac]

Sadly MOE won't be there, but I'm pretty sure me and DUCKY will be. O and Corey, just wait till you see the costume I'm gonna wear, you will crack up in laughter.

[Corey Balint]

Yahh-this is gonna be tons of fun now, Alicia and Steve, gonna be insane.

And if your coming, make sure to bring a costume, awards for costumes will possibly be given out, so dont disappoint.

There will also be a pumpkin carving contest, so bring your artists out for the fun.

[looneylin]

hey BE was pretty awesome. I wasn't able to see the finals, but I'm sure all teams did great! How did the end play out? From what I saw, team 25, 1257, 222 and etc were pretty competitive. All teams were great and the costumes were awesome! :D

-P.S. I posted some pics so check them out! :D

[Corey Balint]

It was a ton of fun today.

and im really really wiped out, so im just gonna give props to some teams. 1546, thats really cool that you came to a competition you have no bot for, and used another teams. It was amazing to see you adapt like that.

341-small tidbit-2 qualification rounds had 3 hangers, 341 was in both of them. You guys did amazing today, and were almost able to beat us in Semi's, i was really suprised we held you off, great great job.

303-Perfect partners today, just troubles at the end, but we will get em next time.

222-What can i say-so far 3 for 3 in Mid Atlantic offseason events, can they go 4 for 4 at R.R. Henry, yet again great job at driving that thing, never wouldve expected you to get 303 and us both out.

Thanks to all that helped setting the field and making this day run fairly smoothly.
Thanks to thre refs as well-kept calls fairly consistent and made good judgements on some very tough plays.

BTW-222 271 and 369 took home the Title(222 is now 2 time defending champions) and 25 and 303 took home the finalists award.

Thank you Corey. You and Mike are hella awesome drivers also. Which is why I have to thanks our alliance. The two robots being such versatile defenders/ scorers. We would be no where without 271 and 369. Also...I can't take the credit for the "good driving job" the Operator of the claw (Brian) scores ALL the points (along with the HP...thanks Jack) I just get him there.
It was great competition which the crowds love, we will see what happens at Ramp Riot ;) .


Also. Thank you to team 25 for holding this mini. We have recruited a couple more newbs on our team . And FIRST has gained a new rookie with team 1546. Also the Halloween theme was really cool and a great idea. Can't wait to see you all next year. :D

Thanks for hosting the event, the competition was incredible. 25's driving in those rounds to stop us from hanging was just incredible, that's pretty much the first time something like that has happened to us, hope to see you at RR.

[Corey Balint]

O and Thanks to all the WPI'ers that came down to help with the scoring and match generating. We wouldve been screwed without ya. Doing all the scores in excel probably wouldnt have been fun.

1st match had to be redone because the field "fell" apart.
2nd match 25 was Dq'd for flipping 222 in the corner of their station. 271 took out 303(chain for dt fell off). 271 went to there side and capped.
3rd match is a blur to me, i just remember us trying to hang, then i tried to block 222 from getting up(so we missed the hang) and 222 drove over us and got up.

Was a very exciting few rounds.

Team 555 was the 5th seeded team, but we were paired with team 1048. We were also Dq'd in the QF for flipping 222.

[Mike Ciance]

i just remember us trying to hang, then i tried to block 222 from getting up(so we missed the hang) and 222 drove over us and got up.that hang was accomplished speedily, and about 1 second before the end of the match. it was a great comeback and 222 really deserves credit. i went right up to the arm operator and congratulated him afterwards. :)

[Rabbit222]

Yeah I wanted that hang bad! :) and I'm only a rookie, or arn't I.... If Henry wasn't there, I wouldn't have hung. Thanks Henry for getting me around the field so I can cap/de-cap and HANG!!!! Thanks to Cliff too for keeping the drive team cool and for such a good eye out there. Can't forget about Jack, the dude with the pipe hat.

Oh yeah, thanks to our alliance partners for being with us.(271 and 369) You guys rock!! and congrats to 25 and 303 for putting up a good fight. Thanks 25 for hosting the event. It was a good time. See everyone @ RR.

[Testament-Doom]

The competition was VERY fun indeed! Sorry for making another thread about this, couldn't find it. It was fun being a mentor and all, the robots were amazing, and yes, I had fun chasing the jester down! mwahahah! >=)

.........Aside from the jester part, thanks team 555 for having been born and letting me join the team and thanks team 25 for hosting this event so I can actully tell what these FIRST competitions are.
