There is one correction, tickets will be sold ANYTIME. The pre sale price is valid until April 15. You must give us a head count, and mail us a check. At the door prices ($15/head) starts on the 16th, and you can contact us personally, give us a rough head count, and we will come to your pit on thursday morning. Please also let us know here on chief delphi, by adding onto this thread, if you or your team is interested.
Thanks
Brian Armstrong
Event Coordinator

as I'm seen on the pictures with my yellow dress shirt and my PVC cane I will attempt to bring 1251 (or the kids that are interested) to the prom since we are driving personal cars it will be easy to get there
One question will there be parking available ?????
I don't know exactly how many will come but I can try on taking at least 10 or so

we just have to convince our co-captains...
anyway, that will be 16 GIRLS, so there will definitely be people to dance with:D

Shadow503
05-04-2008, 21:27
I'd just like to verify, what would appropriate attire be for guys? Khakis? An Oxford? Or are we supposed to go all our and get a tux?:D
It looks like Khakis and an Oxford + Tie from the pictures.

well from the picture of the two guys walking one of them is me with the yellow shirt
I will be wearing something more casual I hope it all depends on my date because she doesn't know what she will be wearing and I will probably try to match
but remember this is a robotics prom you could wear a plant on your hear and nobody would care
but look presentable
maybe a business casual
Team 1758 will be there!!
As of right now..it's just 3 pairs going.. =/
We'll do the offical head count on Tuesday. :D

The third post in the topic has pictures, understandable if you passed right by them. Hehe.
This will be the second year we are doing this, and I suspect this year will be even more fun!

My, my. Planning things without us, are we?? Haha. Well, I talked to the other captain and the coach. So yes, team 692 will be coming.
The other co-captain should be sending an email with a head-count shortly. :D

Trying to convince the rest of FTC team 548 to attend :) Other than that, I'm excited!
Attire is semi-formal (preferred), but for the people who don't hear about it until actual competition, whatever they have is fine. Most of the girls on our team will be wearing summer dresses and the boys slacks and a collared shirt. Just have fun with it. :D
Spiffizzle
08-04-2008, 16:12
I want to be there. And those of you from NJ have seen my teammate, Jeff, dancing around the pits and mascot pit...
We want to go, and we're working on Team 1676... we'll see how that goes!

Ok, it's thanks for clearing up any confusion. I'll have to break out my spiffy waterproof slacks! xD
Count the girls on Team 4 in !
If we were to send in the payment on Monday, would you prefer it to be mailed, or just to wait for the even since it's in the same week?

My mentor was wondering if it was just for the kids or if the team mentors can/should come as well.
And some of team 1279 will be coming. I haven't taken an official headcount yet though.

More than likely students only. Your mentors are welcome to come if they wish, but I doubt they'll have much fun (unless they are some of those college aged ones ;P). We'll have "chaperones" (our advisors/mentors) so if adult supervision is their reason for coming it doesn't need to be. Basically tell them they can come if they want to have some fun, but it's up to them.

I am part of that group and I am encouraging that my kids to have fun and I hope they do and also the head teacher is going and I think he will have fun also

This sounds like a total blast!
We wouldn't be much of a contribution, seeing as there are only two girls on our team (one other than myself!) but I hope at least a couple of us make an appearance. You know, break the guys in before our ACTUAL prom! HA!
Hey, hey people.
Team 1939, The Kuh-Nig-Its, will be at this years Robo Prom!
It's our first year at championships and we are looking forward to having fun.
We are competing in the Curie Division, so if you want to check us out, look for the Killer Rabbits.
but remember this is a robotics prom you could wear a plant on your hear and nobody would care
Hmm, that would certainly be interesting, not quite sure how you wear a plant on your hear though, care to demonstrate?
sebas2mil
11-04-2008, 13:22
I could but I don't want to take the attention away from the students of my team

Come on fluffy, you have a bush on your head! jk xD
I'm practicing glow stringing, hopefully someone better than me will be there to teach me something!
Edit: Will there be lots of techno?

Hey I know that team 1024 has at least 2 people interested and maybe more if you can come to our pits that would be awesome. this should be alot of fun
Rachika Garcia
13-04-2008, 13:44
If I do not come by your pits by lunch time on thursday, please come to team 399's pit, and i will be there to "make the trade" for your entry bracelets. If you want to reserve your presale price, you must email team399@gmail.com with your official head count. Then i will come to your pit, and collect the money at the presale price, and give you your bracelets.
Chap Robotics Team 2468 is interested! We're still trying to work out transportation, but if we're able to attend, we should have ~25 people (7 girls).
Thanks! We're VERY excited! We'll e-mail you tomorrow with an official head count.
p.s.- do you have any swing music?

I didn't get my last post answered from a while back, if someone could clarify how I'm supposed to purchase the tickets for my team now that would be great. Is it just an estimate and you guys meet at the pit?
if it is,
Team 4 - 10 people - Curie

Isn't it the same night as the team social? And I heard that the social was also AWESOME.

This event was amazing. My team members and I had so much fun. The food was wonderful and that punch was like a shot of energy. The DJ had a song for pretty much everyone. Kudos to Team 399!
We had a blast. I brought a shirt that lit up, and my brother brought a ton of glow sticks, it was crazy. :D
Shadow503
20-04-2008, 21:40
The DJ did a great job! I looked like a fool because I tried using the glow sticks during a hiphop song, I should have waited for some good techno! xD
I'll get some more practice and I'll have a decent routine ready for next year!

Thank you 399 for putting on a wonderful event. The pictures are awesome, how can we save them on our own computer? I had been looking forward to this event for months, and it was even better than expected. I skipped my own proms, I never thought I'd ever be made "Roboprom King." Thank you for giving me a night to remember for a long time.
