Look for a team list a bit later this summer.

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

The team list will be up soon. We are currently at 14 robots.
Remember, the early registration discount expires on July 31st so sign up now!
Also look for info on a tee-shirt design contest. I will enclose a flyer with your registration receipt and will have one posted on the website.

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

Team 422 is excited to attend our first Battle O' Baltimore!

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

Do teams entering 2 robots pay double registration?

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

While we aren't on the official list yet, 357 will be attending again this year. We are looking forward to competing in September with the rest of the teams.

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

Perhaps we'll get a chance to join up again, worked well last time, though we have a few new tricks planned. :yikes:

Team 449 looks forward to participating in BoB! It's such a pleasure every year.

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

BoB Planning Committee met last night, so more details should be coming.
Check out the t-shirt design competition. http://www.battleobaltimore.com/index.php
I heard that one of the original BoB MC's will be returning...
Go Teams!

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

Yes. The registration fee is per robot. The only exception would be if you don't plan to have both in the schedule. For example, if you want to run different robots in individual matches. Hard to explain, but it all comes down to taking a roster position for scheduling purposes.

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

Any other team register yet

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

The team list has been updated! 19 teams and 21 robots are now registered. Only 9 spots left!

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

Hey guys. Unfortunately, ILITE (Team 1885) will not be able to attend this year, a decision which was very difficult for us to make. We have a community demo that day instead.

That being said, we designed a shirt design for you. Since the rules state that you have to register to attend, we knew we couldn't submit the design for ourself. However, we didnt want it to go to waste. So we figured we would share it with you here on CD for the community to enjoy. We hope everyone has a blast and the competition is fierce.

Hopefully we will see you next year, or even better yet at our off-season event, IROC on November 10th. www.irocoffseason.org

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

If you can't find someone to pick you up downtown, you can take the subway all the way to owings mills, which is not far from new town high school. I bet you can easily get a ride from there.

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

Nick I can take you. Sent you and email with my info.

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

We'll be bringing some students/minors to volunteer, and I just wanted to check what (if any) additional paperwork that could require from their parents. Does anyone know?

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

You should be hearing from the Volunteer Coordinator re: all registered volunteers. http://www.battleobaltimore.com/contact.php for inquiries.

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

Set-up will begin on Friday at 2:30 with robot drop off after 3pm, we have a supply of red "crab" balls for the last 20 seconds of the game, there will be representatives from 3-4 pre-rookie teams attending, FTC & FLL demos, and lots of great teams and volunteers.

Pre-lunch orders due Sept. 10. Don't forget the t-shirt design contest.

And the BoB is excited to welcome back the original emcee for the Battle O' Baltimore - Wayne Penn!

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

WIll their be a link to watch webcast?

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

I don't believe there is a webcast.

Re: 2012 Battle O' Baltimore - Sept. 15
 

Thanks to all the teams & volunteers!

On behalf of FIRST Team 836, The RoboBees, and "837", the new rookie team, I would like to thank everyone involved that made the event a success.

I had a great time. I was really hoping I would be able to play against 836 in the finals.

I had a blast at the event.

To all of the teams who attended BoB this year. Registration is open for IROC in Northern Virginia. After seeing all of the exciting photos from BoB we are getting jealous, and would love to see you in our neck of the woods on Nov. 10th.
