Re: RoboProm 2012
 

Years ago I remember girls driving in prom dresses with signs on their back saying "we are missing prom for this".
I can't wait to see roboprom this year.

The Paypal pre-sale will be closing tonight.

Just a reminder for those that have already purchased tickets, be sure to bring your receipt to our pit on Thursday to pick up your tickets. We are in the Galileo division located across from Pit Admin, near Inspection. I have included the map of the pits, we are at the bright orange and purple arrow.

As of this morning we have sold 762 tickets so we will have a little less than 240 available for purchase in the pits on Thursday.

We've also gotten a few questions about parking. The Hyatt will have valet parking available at the hotel and there is a parking garage close by across the street. More details are found here.

Have lots of fun everyone! Unfortunately, I will not be going to championship this year which means I can't go to roboprom, silly school putting finals this week. This is a great event every year keep up the good work!

Heyy exploding bacon! I just saw u in the lobby

Re: RoboProm 2012
 

Are there still tickets left? I REALLY want to go!!! :)

Re: RoboProm 2012
 

how early would you say we should get tickets when do you start selling for the next year?

Re: RoboProm 2012
 

Roboprom was so much fun. Everyone looked so beautiful.. I loved the costumes, especially the banana. I had to go back to my room to get something, and coming back to the 4th floor, just the lobby, it smelled soooo bad. It was hilarious. All the fist pumping and jumping.. The lady at the front desk told me that people were calling down because they thought there was an earthquake.

I actually have a complaint/concern..
My good friend has tendinitis. She's fine, she wears a band to keep her tenant in place and was allowed to go to championships and roboprom. She was a finalist for "Prom Queen." When the DJ announced that he was going to take the finalists on to the stage, the entire crowd stampeded forward. She and three other girls were not only knocked over, but were also stampeded on. She was in a wheel chair for the rest of championships.
Sorry to have to do this, I just wanted to bring it to your attention and hope for something better next year. Besides that, definitely a highlight of championships. I have so many pictures and memories. :)

Re: RoboProm 2012
 

How was it? Like what all happened that made it so fun? Our team didn't attend Champs and I really want to know all about everything that happened so that next time we go to Champs I'll be ready with my Roboprom date :D and you know, so we can emulate it at our party coming up. Hope to see you there! And tell your friend that 2073 extends our upmost sympathy for what happened to her :(

Re: RoboProm 2012
 

We are so sorry for what happened to your good friend. We make every effort to make the event safe and fun. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention, we will put this into our lessons learned file and continue to improve the event. Our team has a lot of fun putting on RoboProm and hope to see you again next year.

Thank you again.

So...
where were the chaperones when this happened?

It might be wise to ask for Crowd Control next year if there is a stampede and there are no adults able to maintain control of it.

Wow, just wow.
