Thanks for the question.

This will not be a scrimmage, but a day to use the field and to participate in FIRST Tech Challenge workshops. If you plan to attend, please e-mail Joe Perrotto (Joseph.A.Perrotto@usa.dupont.com) to let him know you are coming (team number, estimated number of people attending). We may be space constrained and want to ensure there is room for everyone.

Regards.

John

Yes, plans are to have an official field there for you to use. And a member of the Game Design Committee will be there as well if you have any questions.

NEW DUEL TRAFFIC FLOW / USE OF EVENT SPACE
At Salem Community College, we will NOT be able to use the main

lot adjacent the loading dock doors from the Field House. Please

is being sent out with maps.

Success Won't Wait Book Drive
Please continue to collect books for donation to Success Won't Wait! The team donating the most books by weight will receive an award and bragging rights!

PPPAfrica Sneaker Drive - Team 316 Needs Your Help!
We are once again collecting used adult sneakers at the Duel on the Delaware. Our goal is to collect 600 pairs of sneakers because with 600 pairs we can lift one family out of poverty in Africa forever!!! PPPfafrica refurbishes and sells the sneakers. The money it receives from the sale goes to providing a well-integration system, seeds and livestock that allows a family to enjoy a perpetually sustainable income.

Just think, if each team could bring at least 10 pairs, that would get us half way to our goal. The team bringing the most sneakers will receive a $50 Home Depot Gift Card. Look around your house, find those all sneakers and donate them to a good cause.

If you need more information, please feel free to contact us at sjrobotics@gmail.com.

FIRST Tech Challenge HOTSHOTS! Play Day
The playing field for this year's exciting FTC game challenge Hot Shots! will be available for FTC teams. If your FTC team is interested, please contact Joe Perrotto (Joseph.A.Perrotto@usa.dupont.com). Participation is free to FTC teams. We may ask teams for a small donation, which will be used as a fundraiser for the MOE FTC program.

Here is the HotShots game animation! Check it out! Projectiles this year! Everyone loves projectiles!

Lake Mead?

This may not have been fair as it is not a mainstream vacation spot. It was taken at Quail Creek Reservoir in Utah. Beautiful spot though.

Duel set-up status report.

Lunacy field is working. Tent is set-up. Pit banners are hung. FTC HotShots field is ready for action.

Teams should plan to unload robots / teams in Parking Lot A and move bots through the Duel Big Top tent (enter by the Duel on the Delaware sign) and into the DuPont Field House. Team registration will be under the Big Top Tent.

If teams have books and/or sneakers, please plan to drop them off in the tent, where the sneakers will be collected and the books will be weighed.

Volunteers should enter the Field House through the side doors (a white "Duel on the Delaware" sign will be located by these doors).

We are looking forward to some great competition, gracious professionalism and infectious spirit tomorrow.

Safe travels everyone!
