Re: SCRIW III (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops 2013)

Just sent out to teams tonight--we're adding an FLL scrimmage to the competition day. (Those that have referred to SCRIW as a scrimmage will finally be right--at least partially! :) )

Quote:

Greetings, Palmetto and SCRIW III teams! We weren't planning on nudging anyone again until the end of summer, but this news was too good to sit on.

With the help of veteran SCRIW volunteer and FLL Operational Partner Mary Graves, we are proud to announce that SCRIW III will host its first-ever FLL scrimmage during the competition Saturday, October 12 at Irmo High School. If you're planning to mentor FLL teams this coming season, it will be a great early milestone to test their robot performance before the qualifiers begin a few weeks later. Add in the excitement of the FRC matches in the gym, and we think the teams will have a blast!

Registration for the SCRIW FLL Scrimmage is just $20 per team, and we are setting initial capacity at 20 teams. The registration page on the SCRIW website has been updated for FLL signups: http://scriw.org/team-registration-form/, and we're more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

--------------------------------------

On the FRC front, we're thrilled to highlight that we're almost halfway to capacity with 14 great teams:

281 EnTech GreenVillains
342 Burning Magnetos
1293 D5 Robotics
1553 KC Robotics Team
1758 Technomancers
2059 Hitchhikers
2187 Team Volt
2815 Los Pollos Locos
3489 Category 5
3940 Viper Drive
3976 Electric Hornets
4243 STAR Warriors
4451 ROBOTZ Garage
4533 Wando Advanced Robotics

FRC registration remains just $300 until July 1, at which point it goes to $350. Teams can sign up at http://scriw.org/team-registration-form/ today.

--------------------------------------

Have a safe and awesome summer, and we look forward to seeing you in Columbia this October!

Re: SCRIW III (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops 2013)

This team update just went out to registered teams:

Quote:

Greetings, SCRIW III teams!

First, an update on registration. We have 19 great FRC teams signed up already for SCRIW III:

281 EnTech GreenVillains Greenville, SC
342 Burning Magnetos North Charleston, SC
343 Metal In Motion Seneca, SC
1293 D5 Robotics Columbia, SC
1398 Keenan Robo-Raiders Columbia, SC
1539 Clover Blue Eagle Robotics Clover, SC
1553 KC Robotics Team Lugoff, SC
1758 Technomancers Florence, SC
2059 Hitchhikers Apex, NC
2187 Team Volt Conway, SC
2655 Flying Platypi Colfax, NC
2815 Los Pollos Locos Columbia, SC
3489 Category 5 North Charleston, SC
3490 Viper Drive Summerville, SC
3976 Electric Hornets Hopkins, SC
4243 STAR Warriors North Charleston, SC
4261 Academic Magnet Raptors North Charleston, SC
4451 ROBOTZ Garage Laurens, SC
4533 Wando Advanced Robotics Mt Pleasant, SC

If you don't see your sister team on the list, make sure they sign up before we hit our 30-team capacity! Signup is at http://scriw.org/team-registration-form/; registration is still just $350.

Also, registration is now open for B-teams, where your students compete with a second robot you happened to have lying around. B-team registration is just $200, space permitting; use the link above.

Before you do that though, we've received word of a chance to help a pre-rookie team out. A new team is starting at Richland NE here in Columbia, and they'd love to enter SCRIW as a pre-rookie team. If you have a spare robot (and probably a mentor or two) that you could loan them for a day, let me know and we'll get everybody in touch.

Additionally, you may have seen on ChiefDelphi that we've added a new FLL scrimmage for 2013! If you're mentoring an FLL team, put 'em on the bus with you and let them give their robot for the Nature's Fury challenge a shakedown. We'll time the scrimmage to wrap before finals, so you can give the kids a taste of what's to come in high school a few years down the road too! Registration for the FLL scrimmage is $20 a team, and it goes through the same form as FRC: http://scriw.org/team-registration-form/

If you've got any questions, please drop us a line. We're looking forward to making SCRIW III the best event in the South!

Thank you for your support as always,

Re: SCRIW III (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops 2013)

This email blast just went out to the team contacts:

Quote:

Greetings, SCRIW III teams!

First, we can now announce the schedule for the day. It'll be very familiar if you attended last year:

0800: Pits open to teams
0801: Sync checks*
0940: Check-in closed (Once we make the schedule, that's it.)
0945: Mandatory Driver's Meeting On Field, Qualification Match Schedule Released
1000: Opening Ceremonies
1010: First Match
1200: Lunch Break
1235: Resume Qualification Matches
1500: End Qualification Matches
1505: Alliance Selection
1530: Elimination Rounds Start
1730: Elimination Rounds End (approximate)
1740: Awards (Finalists and Champions) & Breakdown

*A change from last year: to speed up this important process, we will not run full practice matches. After programming your radio, you'll wheel your robot to the field and power it up on your cart under the FTA's instructions to ensure your robot connects through FMS properly. We strongly encourage you to test your robot's other systems at home and in the pit.

We expect teams to play 8-9 qualification matches, and you have very good odds of making the elimination rounds too. Come ready for a lot of fun!

Second, we're thrilled to announce we have 21 great FRC teams signed up for SCRIW III:

281 EnTech GreenVillains Greenville, SC
342 Burning Magnetos North Charleston, SC
343 Metal In Motion Seneca, SC
1293 Pandamaniacs (D5 Robotics) Columbia, SC
1398 Keenan Robo-Raiders Columbia, SC
1539 Clover Blue Eagle Robotics Clover, SC
1553 KC Robotics Team Lugoff, SC
1758 Technomancers Florence, SC
2059 Hitchhikers Apex, NC
2187 Team Volt Conway, SC
2655 Flying Platypi Colfax, NC
2815 Los Pollos Locos Columbia, SC
3459 Team PyroTech Cary, NC
3489 Category 5 North Charleston, SC
3490 Viper Drive Summerville, SC
3506 YETI Robotic Charlotte, NC
4243 STAR Warriors North Charleston, SC
4261 Academic Magnet Raptors North Charleston, SC
4451 ROBOTZ Garage Laurens, SC
4533 Wando Advanced Robotics Mt Pleasant, SC
4582 RoboHawks Myrtle Beach, SC

We still have 9 spots left for FRC--if your neighbors haven't signed up, send them here: http://scriw.org/team-registration-form/

Don't forget about the FLL Scrimmage! We still have plenty of space left for your FLL teams to come try their hands at Nature's Fury. It's just $20 per team, and yes, out-of-state teams are welcome! The place is the same to sign up: http://scriw.org/team-registration-form/

Lunch pre-orders are coming tomorrow. We listened to your feedback from last year, and we think we'll have an even better menu this year. Pre-ordering lunch simplifies your day and supports the host teams. Do note that for a variety of reasons (cleanup and district policy being the biggest), we can not allow outside food or drink into the gymnasium. We appreciate your cooperation.

Volunteers get the best seats! If you've got extra adults traveling with the team that want to get up close and personal, we can always use good hands for queueing, field reset, and other positions on the field. Drop us a line if so.

And finally, thank you! We couldn't put this event on without your continued support. We look forward to putting on the best off-season event in the South.

Sincerely,

Billfred Leverette
