PARC XI May 10, 2008

[camtunkpa]

It's the time of year to announce the official date of PARC XI. We are hoping to fill our competition to capacity this year.

When: May 10, 2008

Where: Tunkhannock Area High School
120 West Tioga Street
Tunkhannock, PA 18657

Team Limit: 30 teams

Registration fee: $200

Register:http://www.tigertrons.com/PARC/register.htm

Volunteer:http://www.tigertrons.com/PARC/volunteer.htm

(note the registration pages and volunteer pages are from 2007 but will still work our web team has been very busy and just hasn't gotten to updating the PARC pages yet.)

More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Also we are looking for some input from past attendees or new attendees on what they would like to see at PARC XI.

Good luck in the regular season and don't miss out on one of the most competitive off season events!

[Wayne C.]

Plan on Team 25 being there. We moved the Body Building Show to the following week and are ready to go.

WC

(BTW- the online registration form doesn't seem to be working)

[Scott L.]

PARC XI will be web cast again this year, at http://asp.shinraikon.com/parcxi.aspx
I have also included pages for Match Results, Rank, Photos, etc. Let me know what you think of the pages and if there is any other features that you may like to see.

[DarkFlame145]

145 should be there. Maybe we can break our record for most semifinal matches :D .

[Bharat Nain]

PARC was fantastic last year. Although I wasn't able to enjoy the full ride of it, I still think it is one of the best off seasons to go to right after the season is over. This is great for teams who especially cannot go to Atlanta. Cliff and his gang have been doing this for years and it gets better every year. I can't wait to go back again this year.

[camtunkpa]

Glad to hear team 25 will be joining us. Wayne, what browser are you using? I know we've had problems with firefox in the past, but I just tried to register on an older version of firefox and it seemed like it worked. Anyway rest assured 25 is registered. :cool: Anybody else having trouble registering just let me know via PM or some other method. Thanks.

[camtunkpa]

We hope 145 can make it to PARC! You're one of the few who attended the very first PARC!

ok an update....the web team tells me that the new registration page and volunteer registration pages are up. If you try to register and do not receive a confirmation email please email me at cliff.mock@gmail.com. I will make sure your team gets registered.

Good luck teams!

Indeed we will be there. It's a great event, I always have fun there.

[OZ_341]

Team 341 will definitely be there! We've been to every one since 2001. Would not miss it!

Tried to register but it did not show up on the site.

Please count us IN.

[camtunkpa]

great to hear 145 and 341! We are having our first organizational meeting for PARC tomorrow night. If any teams have suggestions get them in and I'll relay them to the rest of the planning committee.

[synth3tk]

I'm not registering yet, but I'm thinking the new team wants to be there. We've gotta see what funds will say. We're trying to do Championships next year.

If not, I want to volunteer, if somebody is rolling through here. Money for gas compensation will be offered.

[George A.]

Personally, I'd like to see the return of the minigames. I know you used to have games between lunch and elims before. I think we could get a couple good ones with this game.

[Akash Rastogi]

I'm coming with my brother even if MORT isn't there (which we are..I think). My brother said it was an awesome time even back in 2000, so I can't wait to go to my first PARC.:D

[DarkFlame145]

PARC is always fun for us teams that can't go to Nationals. It's a lot of fun, we get to see other teams and it's low cost.

[synth3tk]

Email sent. Awaiting replies from the team.

[basicxman]

lol the day before my birthday, unfortunately i wont be going

[camtunkpa]

registrations are trickling in right now, but our list so far of officially registered teams is:
25
222
341

keep em coming folks we want to fill all 30 spots!:cool:

[camtunkpa]

teams 84, 284, 316, 423, 1640 are all registered for PARC!!!

[Scott L.]

8 teams already only 22 more to go. :D

I was wondering how many teams out there would like a copy of last years (PARC X) video that is the same quality as what was web cast? Also is anyone interested in getting a copy of this years event? :D

[camtunkpa]

team 339 has just registered

[camtunkpa]

Food for thought....anyone interested in seeing a mentors only round?

[Scott L.]

Food for thought....anyone interested in seeing a mentors only round?

That'd be neat. :D

[petek]

Food for thought....anyone interested in seeing a mentors only round?If people thought the Blue Man Group left a mess on the field, wait until they see the aftermath of this! :eek:

[DarkFlame145]

Food for thought....anyone interested in seeing a mentors only round?

Y-E-S that should be awesome, not only to see, but because the mentors put so much into the robots also.

[Scott L.]

I may arange for a spot were teams can record the video either by the arena controller area in in the pits. Would anyone be interested in this? The video would either be over RCA (red white yellow) or Modulated over Coax(F connector) :D

[mtaman02]

If people thought the Blue Man Group left a mess on the field, wait until they see the aftermath of this! :eek:

hrmmm

*thinks whats the worst that can happen*

[Scott L.]

:D 9 teams registered and only 38 days left to go till PARC XI :D

As those who have attended in previous years, this is an amazing event to be at, you will have lots of fun.

[DarkFlame145]

We always do.

[Mike8519]

Food for thought....anyone interested in seeing a mentors only round?

I wouldnt mind :D

[camtunkpa]

team 1218 has just registered from PARC....If you wish to register for PARC at Championships, stop by our pit in Archimedes.

[Scott Carpman]

PARC XI looks like it will be our first ever postseason event..now its time to scrounge up the $200 and make it official.

[Wayne C.]

Food for thought....anyone interested in seeing a mentors only round?

do you REALLY want to do that? will it count?

my guys are game-

Cokeley- McNulty- Big Mike- Goldman --- hmm- some may recall a similar round in IRI a few years ago.......

[camtunkpa]

glad to hear 1155 might be attending

Wayne we haven't finalized plans yet for PARC. We've spent the last week scrambling to get funding for Atlanta. I just had to throw the mentor match out there.....I mean when else do you get free admission to FIRST, battle bots, a demolition derby, and a NASCAR race all all at once!? ;)

[camtunkpa]

Teams 871 and 1048 have registered for PARC!

[Scott L.]

:D 13 teams registered and only 19 days left to go till PARC XI :D

17 spots left to fill.

[synth3tk]

Unfortunately, neither team 964 or NWL Robotics will be able joining you for this event, as much as we're interested in going. Because of the new team's history with the old team we may not even have a robot, logistics and hotel accomodations aren't looking to work out, I have no clue how many people even want to go, gotta work out other miscellaneous details, etc.

I may make a personal appearance, though. This time I'll plan further ahead than I tried for Championships.

[camtunkpa]

PARC still has many slots open that need to be filled.:ahh: We're looking for robots and volunteers especially refs and an MC. If anybody is interested in helping out send me a PM.

[camtunkpa]

team 2234 has just registered for PARC!

[Joe Matt]

I'm anxiously waiting for PARC again this year, along with the Krispy Kream under the giant bridge...

[cbudrecki]

Be sure some of those KK's make it to PARC, I get hungry doing all that video work!;)

[camtunkpa]

teams 145 and 365 have just signed up!

[DarkFlame145]

yayaya we finally registered =P. Now i can be cocky and say lets kick some bot. hehehe. Good luck to all, PARC will be greater then ever this year.

[Scott L.]

:D 13 teams registered and only 19 days left to go till PARC XI :D

17 spots left to fill.

:D 16 Teams and 15 days left till this amazing event. We still need 14 more teams to register. :D

MORT is registered and can't wait to see everyone.:)

And it looks like we'll be seeing even more of our Archimedes buddies!

EDIT: Just a question: how many of you guys change drivers for off seasons? I'm well aware that most teams use off seasons to train drivers but who here isnt doing that? I for one know our performance won't be the same as it was in Atlanta with some of the Juniors driving. lol...It may not be a pretty site.

[camtunkpa]

teams 270 and 1989 have registered. Keep 'em coming!

[DarkFlame145]

Im so excited for this =)

[Scott L.]

12 open slots left, only 11 days till the amazing PARC XI.

Video of lasts year's event (PARC X) are in the process of being made and will be for sale between $5-$6 and will be available at the event, and possible online. :D

We plan on selling this year' s(PARC XI) event video for $10-$11. :D

[popnbrown]

A bunch of us from Team 1403 were going to come and volunteer. Is there Anyone from around Montgomery, Princeton or Hillsborough Twnshps that could give us a ride?

If not I'll just bug the hell out of my parents, how far is PARC from Montgomery any1 know?

[Wayne C.]

If not I'll just bug the hell out of my parents, how far is PARC from Montgomery anyhow?


you drive and drive until you see the end of the Earth and then make a left- just watch out for the deer in the road. Be sure to leave a will.

Honestly- 3 - 3 1/2 hrs or so

:cool:

:cool:

Make sure you also take the right to stay on Route 309 or else you are going to drive around Harveys Lake (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Harveys+Lake,+PA,+USA&ie=UTF8&ll=41.374876,-76.046848&spn=0.077933,0.111237&z=13&iwloc=addr) for what seems like forever. :ahh: I did that one night years ago and this was the conversation I had to have the next day:

Dave (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/member.php?u=453) "How was your drive up?"
Me: "I got lost and ended up driving all the way around some huge lake"
Dave :P laughing:P : "Ha Ha, you didn't bear right on 309. Everyone does that!"

[Scott L.]

:D Just 1 week till this amazing event, and we still have 12 open spots. :D

[JP the orange]

Team 270 is so excited for the event, we cant wait to come.

We wanted to know if people would like to put up some information about their robots that are comming so we can get our scouting done before the event even starts.

Here are some specs on our robot:
Can hurdle
~8ft/sec
1 line in autonomous mode using hybrid remote
4 wheel tank drive
can knock ball off the over pass

Any information from any other team will help.
Thanks, Team 270:D

Good idea:) I know we won't have any sort of scout team available for off seasons this year as well.

Robot Specs:
Hurdle 4-5 consistently
Mecanum drive
up to 3 lines in hybrid
NJ regional finalists
Chesapeake regional champions
Archimedes #1 seed- semifinalists

Do keep in mind that we always use new drivers for off season events though

Hope that's useful :)
See you guys there!

EDIT: I will try to remember to bring our scouting data from NJ, Chesapeake, and Atlanta for anyone who wants to look at it. A lot of the teams here were present at those events so I will compile a team list once the final list for PARC is out.. Feel free to drop by our pit and just ask for Akash or to look at the scouting sheets :)

[OZ_341]

Here is our robot brochure. Hope this helps with scouting.

This has happened before. We're still hoping to fill the remaining slots, but chance of doing so look slim.:( We are also looking for some volunteers for reffing and field reset. Anyone interested in volunteering, please shoot me a PM

If you can't get enough people for field reset by Saturday feel free to drop by our pit, I'm sure we could get 2-3 people helping out.

[Mr MOE]

I heard a rumor that the MOE 365 "Green Man Group" might make an appearance at PARC this weekend...

...but, you know how rumor's are. :D

you mean like the one about national instruments switching us to 32bit...yeah they're mostly true :D

1989 will only have a few people down there (there's a lot of stuff going on in our school)

[camtunkpa]

The green man group would be a great addition to PARC!:cool:

[Mr MOE]

What is the URL for the PARC webcast? Is the site currently active? I tried to get to it, but could not connect.

Thanks.

[camtunkpa]

To everyone one interested, here's a link to the PARC webcast site. http://www.asp.shinraikon.com/PARCXI.aspx perhaps the Scott or Carl will post here giving out the details of when they will start broadcasting.

Only one more day! The field is up and tested and the track balls are inflating as I type! Safe travels to everyone coming to Tunkhannock!

Just tune in to see if it was working and looks like the students are having a fun time playing around with trackballs. :)

[Scott L.]

Yes we are webcasting today, on and off as we run through testing, etc.

I'm glad to hear its working. If you have any questions or comments just ask. :D

The Carl says we'll probably be ready for webcasting as soon as Practice rounds begin (9,9:30?). Once we're up, we'll be up all day until tear down.

[Scott L.]

Do to a filter I was unable to take part in the the mebo chat until after 8pm.
Its up and running(when the servers are turned back on in the morning) for tomorrows event. :D

Also we have found out how to increase the bitrate of the web cast, so the quality will be better. 756Kbps so far seems to be the highest we can go before DSL(1MBps) seem to either lag or completly freeze. If this happens just restart the player/refresh the page on the embedded player.
:D

I will try to have the servers up and running by 7:30-8:00am

[BlondeNerd]

The webcast is awesome! Thank you so much.

Does anyone have a match schedule or link to one? I'm stuck at home and want to know when to be sure to watch.

Shhhhhhh....... Stogi, you were supposed to keep that a secret. Anyways, congrats to all of the winners, 365, 25 and 145-2? and to the Finalists 1218, 1143 and 433.

[Scott L.]

:D hehe, someone on your site mixed up the champions and the finalists. just a little heads up.

I was getting a bit cross-eyed editing the awards page, sql data base(will provide an asp view of this later), match results, uploading more photos, etc.

I will try to get the servers running in the next day or so, so for now the site is down untill than

[Rabbit222]

Another great PARC everyone. Thanks to all who participated, the sportsmanship was outstanding. A special thanks to all who volunteered!!!!!! your help was GREATLY APPRECIATED. Congrats to our champions and the recipients of our special awards. I can't wait to see everyone again for PARC 12!!!!

[Bethany Mc.]

This was an awesome event. I had so much fun! Thank you for putting this together for another year. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH to all the volunteers!!Great work!

[DarkFlame145]

That was a great day, I had loads of fun even though this years robot (Team 145) didnt make it to the finals, last years robot (Team 1452 or 145 2) was on the winning alliance. Thank you 1640 and 222 for picking my 145 (my drive team), I think our matches where the best =). Also thank you 365 and 25 for taking our Ish (1452) to win PARC XI. That's the seconds time we have been on the same alliance this year.

[OZ_341]

On behalf of Team 341 we wanted to thank Scott, the Tigertrons and all of the organizers of PARC. Even though we had a rough day on the field, we had a great time.

PARC is so important to us. It is the first time our rookies really get to learn how to run the team by themselves. The experience is priceless. We lost a lot of matches but you would never know from all of the fun they had.

Thanks for all of your efforts to keep PARC going.

You can count on us being at PARC 12.

(sign us up now) ;)

[DarkFlame145]

We got some robot eye footage from PARC, we hooked a camera up to our 2nd robot, once it's uploaded to our site i will send a link.

Also i would like to thank 222 for helping use with the biggest upset at PARC this year. If i may say so. 2 V 3 was hard. But thought a good strategy we pulled though.

[MoeMom]

This was so much fun! Thanks to all the organizers and volunteers for everything. I was wondering- who won the raffle for the TIGER wall hanging?

[andrew348]

Match Archives?

[Scott L.]

The servers are back up and running and I have corrected the champions/Finalist mix up. :D

I will try to seperate the video into matches when I get the time.

[Akash Rastogi]

It was awesome to watch as well. 1218 was great out there, I've been rooting for them since I saw them in Chesapeake. It would have been even more intense if 25 and 365 decided to form separate alliances though. Now that would have been crazy to watch: both putting up crazy hurdles against each other. :cool: I was a little disappointed in 341's performance, but I think it was just new drivers. On that note, much kudos to all the teams that actually use different drivers, I wish I was there to try out our robot. =/

Please sign us up now for next year.:D

[DarkFlame145]

i knew after my first match with both of them on the same alliance they would pick each other

[Scott L.]

How was the webcast? We found out how to increase the bitrate from last years 350kbps to 756kbps, we tried higher (1.5Mbps and 4Mbps) stream rates on Friday, but while the quality was extremely good :D , the only ones that could reliably view it without either freezing, or being jumpy were those with high speed internet such as cable or dedicated lines such as T1 etc.

Also for those that viewed the webcast, did you prefer the external player or the embedded player with meebo chat? :D

I opened the stream in VLC. It was nice. I heard other people had it buffering every like 20-30 seconds, but mine was great!:)

[Mr MOE]

Thanks to Scott, Cliff, Frank, Team 222, and all the volunteers for another successful PARC event! PARC was the first off-season event MOE ever went to back in 2000 and it has had a big influence on many other off-seasons, including the Duel on the Delaware event MOE holds with Team 316.

All the teams did a great job and made for a fun day. Special thanks to Teams 25 and 145-2 for a fantastic alliance. Also, congrats to all award winners and the finalist alliance (433, 1218, 1143), who played some great matches.

I also give credit to the two alliances who played four matches to decide who was going to the finals. It was exhausting for us to watch. I'm sure it was tougher and more intense for you to play.

Team 145 - I would love to see any photos, video of the camera you mounted on the 145-2 bot.

Thanks also for the webcast and recorded match scores! Great job.

I hope everyone has a great summer!

[Sheetmetalgirl]

I had an awesome time at PARC. Thanks again Scott for finally allowing me to reach that goal of becoming an anouncer... I hope to someday be able to do that at a Regional. What did everyone think? Did I do the job well?

Also, a great big thanks to the guys from The Cruzin' Comets for making my day a bit more random with all the notes.

Team 145 - I would love to see any photos, video of the camera you mounted on the 145-2 bot.

Thanks also for the webcast and recorded match scores! Great job.

I hope everyone has a great summer!

Thank You for everything this year, you guys not only let us use your air cylinder at FLR, but you picked us for alliance partners there also. Then at PARC you and 25 took our little laptbot, that we modded for PARC 2 days before PARC, to become champs.

Also thanks for enjoying the fight we put up in the eliminations. We could of went onto the finals but the pneumatics in the bot that replaced 1640 blew. But, our driver, and I where dead tired. I have to say that was the most fun I had in any competition. The quarters where my fav still, P&G power baby =p.

Thanks 222 to sticking in there when it got rough.

I will get a link up for the Ish-cam when it is uploaded by the mentor who put his camera on the line.

I'm a little late, but none the less, thanks to all the volunteers that helped us out! Another huge thanks to all the teams at PARC! All the teams were very gracious and professional! I know there were many times teams had back to back matches, but everyone kept their cool when they were in the heat of battle! Good luck to everyone in the post season!

I would like to add Thanks to Luzerne County Community College, The Carl, and the Tunkhannock Area High School, without them we couldn't have done such a wonderful job on the webcast. :D

Thank you for everyone that set up PARC and volentered. even though this is my last PARC I hope it lives on for many many years to come. It's a great time and so much fun.

Thanks 222, 871 had a great time at PARC. Our rookies students were happy to get a chance to drive the robot in real competition conditions....and we had a blast traveling with 270...as always.

From listening to everyone on the bus ride home (we got lost so there was much time to talk) the team really really liked going to a off season, it was the Team's second year at PARC but it was the first time for many of our students...thanks for giving them such a great competition...we cant wait until next year

PARC was my first FIRST competition of 2008! I think I missed a few competitions! PARC was also my first time volunteering as referee thanks to Cliff for telling me a week before that is what my job was.:ahh: Usually I just fill in all the gaps.

I hope everyone had fun, I did! Congrats to the winners and thanks for some great final matches!:D

Would it be possible for you to ask him to post it, or parts on it on youtube? It's easier to find it that way for future reference.

Is there any particular match you would like posted? It may take me a little time to get it up. :D

I would love to see our (145 and 222) last quarterfinal match.
