NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

Team 254, Team 1868, and the NASA Robotics Alliance Project will be hosting a pre-ship practice weekend on Saturday 2/18 and Sunday 2/19. We will have a nearly regulation size field, with official competition playing field elements. We are hoping to see as many teams as possible.

More information is on the attached flyer. If you have any questions, post them in this thread or email me at nagy@team254.com

If we're only arriving to spectate the scrimmage do we still need to bring at least 2 adult mentors?

And since it's a NASA facility are cameras still prohibited?

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

No to both. You need at least one mentor though. We do ask that any photography at the event not be distributed beyond the photographer so that teams can choose if/when to unveil their robots.

What they did last year for us was we had to send in our pictures/video and get them approved before using them for our robot video, etc., but it's no problem really. 254 is always quick to respond, and is usually very lenient of things.

256 will be going to the Lab on Sunday! I can't wait! There's so much to work on, so much driving to practice on, and of course you have to look your best in front of the 2011 world champions! :D

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

Ah, thanks for the clarification and the quick reply. Can't wait to see you there!

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

This is not a policy enforced by us. I'm not sure where you got that from.

If anyone wants to post pictures of their own robot taken at our facility that's perfectly fine.

We would just prefer to publicly unveil our robots on our own terms and would like to allow other teams the option to do so as well.

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

Thanks for the clarification. I remember hearing from somebody that we had to do that in case we accidentally violated other team's privacy but showing their robot, but that may not have been the case.

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

So I take it this event will not be webcasted? Darn.

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

Is there a list available of the teams planning to arrive at the scrimmage weekend?

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

256 will be scrimmaging at NASA Ames this Sunday, from around 3:00 to 6:00. What teams are going, and when?

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

Depending on logistics, 4159 will be there on both saturday and sunday, but as of right now we will only be there saturday.

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

I hope we can see you there Sunday! I can't wait to see your robot!

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

Nobody from 4159 has requested a visitor's pass yet.

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

Is there anyway to request them now considering we did not see the large bold print....

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

Okay It looks like we're going on sunday and not satuday! So we will see you there 256!

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

:D I can't wait! BTW, Kevin, I'm kinda curious, do you think you see your team attending more/different regionals/off-season in the future? I'd love to see you at Cal Games, and maybe at SVR/CVR one year! Or one of the new regionals to come!

PM me back, since this thread has derailed enough already.

Are we required to bring our bumpers to the scrimmage? We were planning on fabricating them after bag and tag, however we may need to get to it if they're required for the scrimmage.

Thanks!

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

You probably won't have to if you're careful to not endanger the field elements or other robots.

Re: NASA Ames Pre-Ship Practice Weekend & Scrimmage
 

We won't! Thanks!
