SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
It's back for round two! Teams 1293 (D5 Robotics) and 2815 (Los Pollos Locos) Present: SCRIW II (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) Last year, we did something South Carolina had never seen before. This year, we're making it even better! When: October 13, 2012 (That is the first weekend of the State Fair, but the Gamecocks are on the road.) Where: Irmo High School, 6671 St. Andrews Road in Columbia. (Irmo was the site of this year's FLL State Championship.) What: We'll be playing Rebound Rumble, subject to tweaking, as well as a great lineup of workshops. And perhaps a little extra fun, too... Who: YOU! Bring your freshmen, bring your parents, bring everyone! We're setting capacity at 24 teams, subject to review as demand dictates. How much: We've worked hard to keep this as affordable as possible for teams:
The SCRIW.org website will be updated this week with the information we have this far out. If you want to know more, find 2815 at Peachtree or either of us at Palmetto! |
Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
Darn, I guess I won't be able to make it back to SCRIW since TNT is the same weekend.

Here's hoping to be running a pre-rookie team by then. We just acquired the build and practice space today along with registering the new team with FIRST. If funds allow, we should have a robot.

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
I'm gonna miss that train ride!!!!

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
1319 will plan on attending, it was a great event and I am sure you will have no problem getting the 24 teams. We may even bring a B-team this time like last since it worked out so well for us.
It is great to see SC growing and this offseason event certainly helps do that. Drake, where is that new rookie team going to be based out of? |
Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
It will be a community team that picks up the students from schools the other local teams don't cover. Geographically we are between Clemson and Seneca. Excited about getting started, but still need to wrap up this season. Good luck to the SC team in Georgia this weekend. I'll be there with some students on Saturday. We'll be doing some pre-Palmetto scouting.
|
Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
So now that the dust has settled after Palmetto, we finally got a chance to update the SCRIW.org site, including the all-important registration form. As with last year, our planned capacity (subject to review--we want as many as possible to play!) is 24 teams. And don't forget about the reduced price for teams that pay early. Get that last fundraiser in before summer break and save $50!

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
If I'm not studying in parts far north and west of Colombia, I would love to come volunteer and encourage my team to enter here. We tried our hand at Richmond Rumble, but we realized the fun of offseason events is seeing teams we usually don't in an environment that isn't entirely insane, and that wasn't possible at home.
(Still have one more regional, maybe CMP, and I'm already looking forward to offseason competitions in the fall. I'm obsessed.) |
Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
Team 3489 Category 5 is planning on being there and is already looking forward to competing in SCRIW again this year. After a #3 seed followed by an abrupt exit in the Q-finals at Palmetto, we're itching to run this 'bot some more. If you're looking for suggestions on tweaking the rules, how about 1 CP versus 2 for the middle balance?

As for rules changes, we're in a wait-and-see mode. Once we see how the GDC tweaks scoring at Championship and how any changes play out at IRI, we'll make a move on that. (Last year, we adopted IRI's scoring structure to good effect.) Right now though, it's plain-jane Rebound Rumble. |
Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
Yeah! Registered!

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
Georgia Tech is on Fall Break that weekend, so I think I would like to volunteer there. Can i request the Emcee spot? I have some experience doing FTC qualifiers and want to start my FRC emcee career.

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
I'm almost completely positive Magic will be making the trip to SCRIW again this year, having felt this was the most solid robot the team has ever constructed we all want a second chance to prove ourselves.
I'm still hoping we have a chance to go to IRI as well, but nothing is for certain. |

An "R" rating! Billfred, you need to clean that site up, it's inapropriate for high-school children :D
Can't wait! With St. Louis out of the picture for this year, I am really looking forward to the off-season. I might have to make a trip to IRI this year, just to watch some great bots ;) |

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
just a quick question, will there be any recording of the event going on? I'm wondering if the event can be webcast online. It would be awesome to get it on The Red Alliance for others to see.

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
The newest team to sign up for SCRIW has me really excited. How about a team that went to three regionals and Championship this year, brought home five trophies including a silver medal...oh, and did I mention this was a rookie team?
Welcome a powerhouse in the making, FRC 4083, The Iron Wolverines to the SCRIW II lineup! 281 - EnTech GreenVillains 342 - Burning Magnetos 587 - Hedgehogs 1287 - Aluminum Assault 1293 - D5 Robotics 1319 - FLASH 1398 - Keenan Robo-Raiders 1553 - KC Revolutionists 1758 - Technomancers 2655 - The Flying Platypi 2815 - Los Pollos Locos 3489 - Category 5 3976 - Electric Hornets 4074 - Robosharks 4083 - The Iron Wolverines 9999 - FIRST Noble Team (Prerookies) 8 spots left!

Re: SCRIW (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops) II - 2012
We just sent an email blast out to the registered SCRIW teams, which I'm posting here for reference:
Hello there, SCRIW II teams! With SCRIW just over a month away, we have a few updates to share: 1) The teams! We have a pretty awesome lineup already for SCRIW II: 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 2655 The Flying Platypi 2815 Los Pollos Locos 3489 Category 5 3976 Electric Hornets 4074 Robosharks 4083 The Iron Wolverines 9999 FIRST Noble Team (Pre-Rookies) 2) Know a team who's not on that list? Our stated capacity is 24 teams, and as you may notice we're around 16. We want to get as close to full as we can, since that means more matches for all. Talk to your neighboring teams and encourage them to sign up at http://scriw.org/ today! We'll be taking registrations through the end of the month. Point them to me if they have questions. 3) The preliminary schedule! Teams from out of town have asked for the schedule. The full schedule is still being fleshed out, but here are the things we have locked down: Pits will open at 8:00, with the field open for practice and checking your radio until about 9:20. We will have a driver's meeting at 9:30 and will press the button to generate the match schedule at that time; you don't want to be late for that! We will play qualification matches before and after lunch, likely in the 6-8 range depending on teams and match cycles, then have elimination rounds. We project things to wrap around dinner time; Irmo is right at the end of the Harbison Boulevard district, so you'll have plenty of options. (And the South Carolina State Fair is in town that day.) 4) Workshops! We're still working on our lineup of workshops for this year's event. If you think you've got something cool to share, even if it's a retread of last year, drop me a line; we'd love to give you a platform to share it. Most of our workshops go 30 minutes to an hour, so you won't miss too much of the action in the gym. And the AV setup will be improved over last year. 5) Lunches! We will be doing pre-orders again this year; watch for that email soon. 6) New for 2012: The SCRIW Spaghetti Showdown! We're going to try something new this year at SCRIW, which we're calling the SCRIW Spaghetti Showdown. Anyone--student, mentor, parent, hanger-on-younger-sibling--will be able to participate in our spaghetti bridge contest in the gym lobby. Attempts will be just $1 a try, and we'll provide the spaghetti and other materials. The builder of the top bridge of the day will get the opportunity to be the master of ceremonies for the first match of the SCRIW finals! We know everyone needs a break from matches, and we hope this will be a fun engineering diversion. 7) Got any questions? Let us know! We want to make SCRIW II the best off-season in the South. Sincerely, Billfred Leverette SCRIW Planning Committee |

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! |

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. |

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.

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 |

We had a wonderful time at SCRIW this year and we can't wait to see many of our friends again at kickoff. In the meantime, we edited all of our SCRIW footage into a little documentary:
