Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
Here's the email blast that just went out, including the announcement of SCRIW T-shirts!
Hello, teams! First, an update on registration--the past two weeks have been crazy, putting us at 21 teams with 24 our limit. Currently signed up are: 281 EnTech GreenVillains 342 Burning Magnetos 587 The Hedgehogs 1102 M'Aiken Magic 1287 Aluminum Assault 1293 D5 Robotics 1319 FLASH 1398 Keenan Robo-Raiders 1553 KC Revolutionists 1758 Technomancers 2059 The Hitchhikers 2655 The Flying Platypi 2815 Los Pollos Locos 3196 Team SPORK 3459 Team PyroTech 3489 Category 5 3976 Electric Hornets 4074 Robosharks 4083 The Iron Wolverines 9999 FIRST Noble Team 9999 Wando Advanced Robotics (Those last two 9999s are pre-rookie teams that will be competing for the very first time at SCRIW!) If you know of any teams who'd want to get in, get them to register online at scriw.org ASAP. We would love to have a completely full bracket this year! New for 2012: SCRIW T-Shirts! They were asked about last year, and this year we're coming through with official SCRIW T-shirts! The shirts are red and feature the SCRIW logo with our tagline "The Road to St. Louis Starts Here". You can see the design on the pre-order form attached to this email; the form will reserve shirts for your team members so we can ensure there's enough for everyone. (You can get it here too.) Shirts are $10, can be had in adult small through 2XL, and you pay at the event. Pre-orders are due back by 5:00 PM on next Friday, September 28th; even if only a couple of your team members are interested, please be sure to email it back to us so we can get an accurate number to order. Nothing's worse than being a medium that has to wear an XL. Wanna do lunch? Lunch pre-orders are still in the works; we hope to have more information to you next week. We look forward to seeing you in a few weeks! Go Teams! --Billfred Leverette SCRIW Planning Committee |
Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
Hey guys, I know it's kind of late to be signing up but our team finally decided they wanted to do something productive before build season. :P We'd like to participate but odds are we won't get the money until the fourth (broke school, broke team), and I don't want to register until I know we can actually pay. Is there any way we can get a spot reserved, or would it be easier to just register and pay whenever we get the money before the 13th - and if we don't, to cancel? Just want to make the least amount of hassle for you guys.
Thanks and hope to see you there! |

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
A sorta-kinda-update: 1102 has had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict, both our pre-rookies have gained numbers so I can quit putting down 9999, and we've gained two reserve robots from 1319 and 1553. (Considering these two fielded B robots last year that got silver and gold, respectively, I'm excited to see what happens.)
As such, the current lineup is: 281 EnTech GreenVillains 342 Burning Magnetos 587 The Hedgehogs 1287 Aluminum Assault 1293 D5 Robotics 1319 FLASH 1398 Keenan Robo-Raiders 1553 KC Revolutionists 1758 Technomancers 2059 The Hitchhikers 2655 The Flying Platypi 2815 Los Pollos Locos 3196 Team SPORK 3459 Team PyroTech 3489 Category 5 3976 Electric Hornets 4074 Robosharks 4083 The Iron Wolverines 4452 FIRST Noble Team 4533 Wando Advanced Robotics Reserve Teams 3371 Flash Reserve 1554 KC Rev'sts Reserve Nominally, 4 spots left! We'll take teams through the end of this week at http://scriw.org ! |
Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
The time between 4:00 and 4:30 PM today was absolutely faaaaaaantastic for me as one of the organizers of SCRIW, probably one of our top moments?
Why, you ask? First, we had the registration of FRC 2640, the Hotbotz, which reunites all four members of the alliance that won Palmetto this year. Cause enough for celebration, I say. But then came FRC 4261, Raptors Robotics, which brings us to 24 robots in the competition! 281 EnTech GreenVillains 342 Burning Magnetos 587 The Hedgehogs 1287 Aluminum Assault 1293 D5 Robotics 1319 FLASH 1398 Keenan Robo-Raiders 1553 KC Revolutionists 1758 Technomancers 2059 The Hitchhikers 2640 Hotbotz 2655 The Flying Platypi 2815 Los Pollos Locos 3196 Team SPORK 3459 Team PyroTech 3489 Category 5 3976 Electric Hornets 4074 Robosharks 4083 The Iron Wolverines 4261 Raptors Robotics 4452 FIRST Noble Team 4533 Wando Advanced Robotics Reserve Teams 3371 Flash Reserve 1554 KC Revolutionists Reserve Now, the two reserve teams are subject to be bumped if another team were to sign up, so technically: 2 spots left! The field will be locked in Friday at 5:00 PM. I look forward to seeing a full bracket in two weeks! |

And now, the update that just went out (and it's a biggie!):

We're having a little trouble getting the Wando RookieBot to shoot. Can you lower the bottom goals about 6"?

All kidding aside, have you considered the Bomb Squad's approach to What To Do If Your Shooter's A Dud? Seemed to work out okay for them... Spoiler for Disclaimers:

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
Thanks... I think. :D
Were you planning to update the SCRIW website? Workshops, traffic flow/parking, agenda, etc.? I assume you sent information to team leaders, but sometimes it doesn't filter down to everyone. Plus unregistered visitors might be interested. |

Also, if you looked at the traffic diagram on Monday night, note that it changed a bit--there's a closed-off section that Google Maps hadn't updated in the satellite photos. It only really affects those using the accessible parking area, but we want to ensure everyone has a good time at SCRIW. |
Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
I just now opened my laptop for the first time since Friday afternoon; I barely touched the internet on Saturday (which had me at Irmo High from 6:45 until after 10:00 PM). I barely moved this morning...but judging from my email today, I think SCRIW II was a great success.
First, thank you to all the teams. To grow by nearly a third year-over-year is a challenge for any organization, and we ran into a few quirks (not the least of which was our late start for sync checks). I want to thank all of you for your patience and gracious professionalism throughout the day, both towards us and towards other teams. And holy crap, what a set of elimination matches! Congrats to the champions, [b]FRC 587 (Hedgehogs), FRC 2640 (HOTBOTZ), and FRC 2059 (The Hitchhikers)[b]. Considering the latter two won Palmetto with us (and 587 won Peachtree with us around), I think we might have them hooked for coming down to South Carolina. I want to thank all of our volunteers, but singular praise is due to Jacob Paikoff from 2059 (ha, I got it right this time!). He was there to help with setup, refereed the event, and then stayed for tear-down nearly as long as I did; where I had to be there, he sure as heck didn't. Further thanks to Greg and Brandon from AndyMark, who were immensely helpful in getting all 24 teams to shake off summer-induced ring rust and get everyone running. Their grace under fire is just one of the many reasons SCRIW springs for their services each year. On a somewhat personal level, thanks to the FIRST Noble Team for picking 2815. It was a rough day for them, seeding dead last after a code issue made them miss matches, but it's still nice to see them not the last pick of the draft. (Further thanks to their mentor Tina Drake for serving as head referee.) Thanks to WLTX and Carolina News for coming out to cover the event. And finally, thanks to all the students, parents, and mentors of Los Pollos Locos and D5 Robotics. The SCRIW planning committee is just three people, the budget a shoestring. We couldn't do it without the help of these great kids. Now to shake off the last of these aches and start planning for SCRIW III! The date will be announced shortly after the release of USC's home football schedule. |
Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
Billfred, thanks to you, D5 robotics, and Los Pollos Locos for putting on another great event. I'm definitely looking forward to SCRIW III, and I know that 2059 will be back to try and continue our winning ways in South Carolina.

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
Thank you to Billfred, Los Pollos Locos and D5 for putting together a great event. The Hedgehogs had a wonderful time.
Thanks to the Hitchhikers for inviting us to hitch a ride to eliminations with them and to Hotbotz for helping us pull off the win. We're going to register for Palmetto as soon as second registration opens. I hope we can get in. I look forward to seeing you all again. Greg |
