Glenn, you might want to factor in a day hitting Branson, MO on your way down.

_Everyone_ should go to Branson at least once, there's some really good shows there.

Michael,
we will check that out!
John,
how can I not have thought of it earlier? *slap my own head*

I just gave Justin some crate dimensions and other info. I'm planning all of this and our team doesnt know about it......yet.:rolleyes:

When 2438 went to the Houston regional back in March, they had nothing but admiration and good things to say about all of the TX teams that attended.

Dallas is sounding like a good choice for our team next year also!

Additional Details/Answers to likely questions:
  • Any locals interested in taking part in the TRR Planning Committee please send an email to RobotRoundup@gmail.com. I plan to start having meetings following Championships.
  • The schedule is not finalized yet, but will be made public as soon as it is ready.
  • We plan to again host a variety of workshops, presentations, and meetings! Stay tuned for details later this summer.
  • There will likely be a variety of additional activities for teams, including but not limited to team social, fundraising opportunities, etc.
  • We plan to once again hold a Mentors Tournament and a Robot Skills Challenge, along with some other possible challenges (Human Players, etc). Stay tuned for sign ups to come out later this summer.
  • Like past TRRs and many other Off-Season Events, we do not plan to have robots inspected at TRR 2013. However, we expect teams to follow the 2013 Game Rules and abide by the values of Gracious Professional.
  • The committee will work with key volunteers and consider the decisions of other Off-Seasons to determine if we will instate any changes to the game play rules. Any rules changed will be done so in favor of the teams. We will make announcements of any rule changes as soon as possible.
  • We plan to give out a variety of awards again this year, many peer judged. The full list is still to be determined.
  • The ausTIN CANs will be hosting their Annual Tin Can Food Drive. The team who contributes the most cans will receive an award.
