Thanks for pointing that out Tytus. I have heard the rumor also. I would like to get more information on that. You know it... if there is a competition in Florida... Arefin has to make it there. :)

[mrs. p]

Thanks for pointing this out tytus and arefin, i heard it was 1402 doin it this year?... then andrew said no, then someone said yes, then someone else said no, whats the story someone say it!

[tiffany34990]

i'm soo confused by this....

it's posted on the S.P.A.M. forum there is one.... but yeah...

it's like a month away and registration and all that jazz should be done.....

if someone who is involved with it all and knows the truth and all... please unconfuse everyone.... THANKS!

[Billfred]

Rumor has it that the 2005 Robot Rodeo will be October 22. (Why can't it be a week ahead, so I can do something interesting during fall break?!)

In any event, I'm interested in volunteering if I can find another Prestonite willing to split the gas money. Details (as with everything else regarding the Rodeo) will emerge.

[UlTiMaTeP]

Thank you Billfred, I tremble in your vast knowledge and seek it!

[Billfred]

Thank you Billfred, I tremble in your vast knowledge and seek it!
Sure, if you can call that vast knowledge... :rolleyes:

[Arefin Bari]

I got one question for all the team mentors/teachers. Did you guys recieve any email about registration or the event at all?

[Swampdude]

The following came from Dan Welsh (Disney), who has been a primary supporter of the Rodeo since its beginings:


Tytus, more info to follow .... plan on the Rodeo at Freedom High School, Orlando, October 22. Will start at 9 AM and run most of the day. We will be playing last year's game on a FIRST field that we're having shipped in.

Plan on bringing any game tetras that you have.

Also, there's a fee of $100 per team, to cover costs of field shipping, custodial, etc, etc.

I'll email you the detailed agenda in the near future, we look forward to having Team 179 here for the Rodeo.

Thanks.
Dan .

P.S., the exact location is Freedom High School in South Orlando, the street address is:
Freedom High School

2500 Taft-Vineland Rd.

Orlando , fl.32837

[Andrew Rudolph]

Yeah im pretty sure they are having it, but not really doing much promotion outside of the orlando area, I will try and get more info for you all.

[EricS-Team180]

Please do, because we have car wash fund raisers already planned for that day. They are mandatory events for our students. Without something "official", S.P.A.M. won't consider making exceptions.

Eric

[Barry Bonzack]

I posted about this in the S.P.A.M. forum (http://www.spamrobotics.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=281) a while back, been holding off to put in on CD until more information has been released.

it will be at FREEDOM high school (not evans) and definitely on October 22. More information is coming, no spreading rumors that there isn't going to be one.

I will be asking soon about what the process is on signing up for volunteering and am happy to host any out-of-towners that would like to volunteer for the event. Contact me.

[Tytus Gerrish]

I voulinteer george to be the MC

[UlTiMaTeP]

George is a good MC....

[Adam Richards]

I voulinteer george to be the MC
As long as he can say NEE properly, I'll agree. :D

[Billfred]

As long as he can say NEE properly, I'll agree. :D
If George is MC, then I suppose I should finally do what I was supposed to do LAST year at Robot Rodeo and do play-by-play, eh?

(On the bright side, now I'm half-decent at it after The Capital Clash.)

[Stephen Kowski]

be on ur guard billfred.....those shady characters tytus and arefin will surely be there....=)

good luck fending em off.....

[David Guzman]

Is registration open to any team and how many teams can participate?


Dave

[UlTiMaTeP]

prob as many teams as possible......

[Adam Richards]

prob as many teams as possible......
Though something tells me registration is going to be a bit of a stampede for teams in the region, as the other closest offseason besides Mayhem is Capital Clash.

[David Guzman]

I just realized that one of our main fundraiser for the year is on that same day. (golf tournament) So I hate to say it but it is pretty much impossible for 1251 to go. :(

[mrs. p]

well, if anyone finds out information on the rodeo like registation and who to contact, please let me know

thanks

[UlTiMaTeP]

Though something tells me registration is going to be a bit of a stampede for teams in the region, as the other closest offseason besides Mayhem is Capital Clash.

There will be plenty of spots, there is only 45 teams in florida, any other rodeos havent even gotten 20, so not worried about it.

[Adam Richards]

The region I was thinking about was the South East (FL, GA, AL, MS, SC)

[Andrew Rudolph]

Right now the only things that have been told to me and the team is that its on October 22nd At Freedom High School. I am going to try and contact people there to get more information as to what is going on.

Robot Rodeo Re-scheduled (Hurricane)

Teams, due to weather issues we are re-scheduling the Robot Rodeo at Freedom High School. The event will Not be held this Saturday, due to the potential arrival of Hurricane Wilma in Florida this weekend. Since numerous teams from Florida's west coast and central area are potentially effected by this storm, we have decided to postpone the event. The new date for Robot Rodeo will be published shortly.

PLEASE NOTE; the Robot Rodeo is not cancelled, merely re-scheduled. Freedom High School Team 1402 is currently working out the new schedule date, and you will recieve the new date info by email in the next few days.

Thank you for your flexibility in dealing with this change.

The Robot Rodeo awards are ready, the teams are ready, and Freedom High School Team 1402 will have us a new date set up in the next few days .... stay tuned for more info,

Thanks again.

ya i didn't know there was a hurricane till i went to my class... too bad no robot rodeo. i was looking forward to it. i hope it the storm doesn't get too bad.

[Billfred]

WIIIIIILLLLLL-MAAAAAAAAA!

Hope everyone gets past this hurricane alright, and that we can rock out at a later date.

[Barry Bonzack]

yeah me & RogerR followed ur directions last year Barry....anyone reading this plz mapquest this for yourself.....for your own sanity....trust me you don't want to be driving around orlando for 2 extra hours....

Man. You guys ruined all my fun. Everyone was going to show up to Freedom this weekend and it was going to be halarious.


Thanks Tytus for posting this information up, I have been at school and then robotics all day and just got home 30 minutes ago. I found out over the phone and started sending out some calls to make sure everyone knows. If anyone knows any of the teams that are going and you are not sure if they got the memo, please pass it along. We'll find out the new date for the rodeo shortly... Lets hope its soon!

[Barry Bonzack]

So.... I was wondering for reasons completely unrelated to the Robot Rodeo.... What teams have conflicts with November 5th or November 12th? Any other major events that would keep multiple teams from doing any traveling on either of these dates?

[Michelle Celio]

See, as a new comer...I was really looking foward to this. :ahh:

Stupid Hurricanes.

I hear that Osceola Schools are going to become shelters? well some of them, including TECO PATHS ...that'll be interesting.

So what should I expect when the new date does come around? :yikes:

[Adam Richards]

So.... I was wondering for reasons completely unrelated to the Robot Rodeo.... What teams have conflicts with November 5th or November 12th? Any other major events that would keep multiple teams from doing any traveling on either of these dates?
November 5th is an SAT testing date.

[Scythe]

November 12th is a S.P.A.M. carwash, I know that, the 5th would mean that all of our team members would be able to go instead of just rookies and select veterans. Just my $.02

[Tytus Gerrish]

Nov 5 SAT testing
Nov 12 Heatwave's Tropical wave FLL comp
nov 19 S.P.A.M."s Treasure coast FLL comp

[David Guzman]

I will be there if is the 12th because I will be taking the SATs on Nov 5th.

More options 11:57 am (4 minutes ago) Teams, the FIRST Robot Rodeo is rescheduled to Saturday November 12, at Freedom High School in South Orlando. Hopefully, we will be hurricane-free on that weekend. In the meantime, best wishes to all who may be effected by the weather in the next few days.

When: Saturday November 12

Agenda:
8:15 AM Doors open.

[Stephen Kowski]

When: Saturday November 12

Nov 12 Heatwave's Tropical wave FLL comp

ah, glad to see the schedule worked out perfectly. :confused:

[Barry Bonzack]

The rodeo can't revolve around an individual team's schedule... I think Nov. 12th probably is the best date, would not be good to have it on an SAT day. That being said... I had nothing to do with it.

[miketwalker]

I have to agree with Barry, any weekend that could've been chosen would be conflict with at least 1 team. I think that considering the last-minute reschedule this is the best that could be done for everybody. I think this'll be a really great event still, and I'm looking forward to it.

[viking1902]

is the competition still going to be on an official FIRST field?

[David Guzman]

I am so happy to see it the 12th. I can now say that as far as team 1251 goes we will be there unless something major happens.

Dave

[Michelle Celio]

It just dawned on me...Dance to give kids a chance is Nov. 12.

But I guess that's irrelevant hehe.

But heres a little story,about our prep. for the Rodeo...

So last year our driver and arm operater graduated...so we're trying to find people who are just as good. So, I was like I WANT TO DRIVE. So, they let me drive it untill I nearly knocked out half out mentors..the arm was fully out, with a tetra on it...and I spun it the wrong way =[

I still have no idea what to expect with the Rodeo...

[tiffany34990]

i'm glad to see the rodeo have a new date...i've only missed on robot rodeo so far ... they are always fun to catch up with everyone...

we'll see if i'm coming or not....

[Arefin Bari]

I just got an email from Dan Welsh.



Robot Rodeo NOT being held this year.

Teams, I'm sorry to report that we will be postponing our Robot Rodeo for this year. As you know, the event had been scheduled for November 12 at Freedom High School. Unfortunately, due to many logistics problems and serious cost issues involving the playing field shipping from FIRST, etc, we will not be able to have the event this year.

I hope that you will be at the next Robot Rodeo in Fall 2006.

We have been holding the Robot Rodeo in Central Florida for the last 5 years, and we will make sure it continues to be a high-quality event. We would not want to put on the event without being able to play the full game, etc, .... we believe it's better to postpone it for this year, rather than doing something that would not meet or exceed the standards of past Rodeos.

I assure you we'll be working to overcome this year's hurdles and will bring back the Robot Rodeo, bigger and better in Fall 2006 !

In the meantime, many of you will be at the DeVry University Orlando Campus, Robot BootCamp on Saturday Nov 19, we'll see you there.

Thanks, and sorry for the late-breaking bad news.

Wishing you all success in the upcoming FIRST Season,

Dan Welsh .

[Barry Bonzack]

Whoa. Didn't see that coming. How heart breaking!

[tiffany34990]

Whoa. Didn't see that coming. How heart breaking!

i agree... all wellz.. good luck to everyone this coming year and hopefully ill find a way to UCF and see you most of you there...

[Scythe]

Oh well, there's always next year. :( :o

[Masterfork]

Oh well, there's always next year. :( :o
aww ohh well i guess just have to wait a little bit but ohh well

[Michelle Celio]

That really sucks =[

Oh well.

[Barry Bonzack]

Recieved this e-mail today, thought I'd share it with the community.


Teams, want to point out that the Robot Rodeo at Colonial High School in Orlando is on October 28, (and Not the 21st as had been accidentally posted). Sorry for any confusion about the date.

Robot Rodeo is a FIRST Robotics event, playing last year's game on a full-size field. A detailed agenda for the event will be out soon.

Robot Rodeo will be at Colonial HS in Orlando; Colonial High is located on the east side of Orlando, near the intersection of Route 50 (Colonial Dr) and Rt 436 (Semoran Blvd).

More details to follow. See you at Robot Rodeo on October 28, 2006.

To register, please email me with your team number and contact name.

thanks.
Dan .

[viking1902]

I like how they included "full-size field" in the description. I think it might just be a nod to Mission Mayhem's Aim (well, kinda) High game... :rolleyes:

Anywho, I must reiterate my question from last year, is this going to be an official FIRST field?

[Arefin Bari]

Two weeks till the competition? It takes 3 to 4 weeks just to go through the book keeper to get the registration money... at this point, my team would need the registration info as soon as possible.

[mrs. p]

is there anyone that can give conclusive information. i thought i was on an email list to receive this so we could get our purchase orders in on time - have yet to receive any "official" information.

[savage]

first of all can teams still get in to the rodeo 1368 might want to reg go but i have to talk with the team can some one pm more info on the event
also do you need any refs i was one last year in israel

i live in clearwater fl it about 2 hours from ucf

[Barry Bonzack]

This is the first official announcement about the rodeo, I do not believe registration has even officially opened yet. I am not involved with planning the event, I just wanted to share the information I received with everyone else. I can accept no credit or blame if the event goes well or if it goes awesome. All questions should be directed to Dan Welsh at Dan.welsh@disney.com


Perhaps the 2006 edition should have its own thread.

[Dan Richardson]

Can we please start this in a new thread for 2006 to avoid confusion.

Conflicting dates locations... all kinds of stuff just give it a new thread.
