Re: RoboProm 2013
 

What is your policy on those who live in the area, but do not have a team qualified for champs? I might like to go, but sadly, 3397 is not attending worlds.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

You are more than welcome to attend!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Team 2974 is looking forward to coming!!! Ordered a case of WD-40.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

1305 wants to go! We'll be bringing the ice ;)

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

I put a survey out to the kids and the results are very strong so far.
So I do think that Team 341 will be there.
We will pay online once the survey s complete.
Thanks for hosting this once again.

Best wishes to everyone on Team 399.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

How is the volume at the event? Will it be the kind of event where the music is too loud and all you can do is dance? Not that I have an issue with loud music... its just that I am going to Championship alone as a volunteer and would love an opportunity to socialize with other FIRST robotics people. This seems like a possible opportunity to do so, but if its the kind of event where its just fun with no dialogue, it would probably be hard to socialize.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Count the Miracle Workerz in! We're collecting information to get an exact number, but we're expecting about 15 to 20 students who wish to attend :)

Thank you for holding this awesome event, and see you there!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

The main event of RoboProm is the dance floor and that does get loud, but we do have tables off to the side where people sit and chat and help themselves to our refreshments. If you find the dance room a bit too loud we do have another room available that people decide to hang out in that is a lot quieter.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

And (if I recall) there are many fun games of ninja, honey, and other socializing games around the hotel.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Very excited to announce that 399 has once again given me the distinct honor of handing out RoboProm King and Queen - so I'll be there!

I'm not sure yet how the titles will be decided - we're working on that now - but we'll make sure to let you know!

See you all in St. Louis!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

I really do wish I was going to champs now.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Better start working on my duct tape vest and fedora... :D

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

I believe our students are planning on attending, looks like fun.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Team 399 is very pleased to announced that AndyMark, Inc. is now an official sponsor of music at RoboProm!!

Don't forget that our pre-sale ENDS April 18th!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Will we be able to buy tickets from 399 at their pit? Or is it strictly online or at the door?

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

399 will not be selling tickets in the pit this year. We will have tickets available in the courtyard with the FIRST banner where we will be distributing tickets on Wednesday and Thursday. We will update you all when more details regarding ticket distribution are finalized.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

What food/refreshments will be available at Roboprom? Are these for purchase or included in the ticket price?

Kelly

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Yes! We will be serving cookies, punch, and water at the event.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Sound's pretty fine!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Wow, that's a great idea!! Hope we're going!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Join us at our Facebook Event, it's where all the cool kids hang out I swear :cool:

Tickets are going, going, going so be sure to get yours before April 18th!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Just forwarded this to my team's students. Many of them were planning to leave early from Championship in order to make their school's real prom. Maybe the existence of this prom will change their minds!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Team 2341, the Sprockets, just posted their order. We are excited, had a blast last year! :]

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

I am totally up for this!!! How is the male to female ratio? lol

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Haha, you'd be surprised. The ratio is pretty solid. You wouldn't be disappointed. :P

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Can you buy the tickets individually on your website? It looks like it's configured for teams to make purchases for all of the students who will be attending at once so I wasn't sure.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

You can still make individual purchases through our website. We ask for team number because it will make ticket distribution easier if they are organized by number and an email address so we can send you any future RoboProm updates.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

OK, thanks!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Is there any time the door closes? I have my tickets, but I'd like a second after matches end.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Team 1410 is ready to cut a rug!! :) Ordering our tickets right now!

I'm not positive if the entirety of 1772 is going to come with me to RoboProm but, I know I'll be there!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

The doors will never "close". As long as you show up with your ticket, you will be allowed in.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

For teams without busses, how would you recommend getting to RoboProm from the Edward Jones Dome (and back again)?

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

We were looking at this and though we do have a bus, it is within walking distance.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

It is very walkable, we stayed there last year and walked everywhere. It was a bit windy, though.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Team 399 is actually staying at the Hyatt and we will be walking to and from Edward Jones Dome everyday of championships. It's about a 10 minute walk and Grim Tuesday has an awesome map posted above

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Thanks to AndyMark we're giving away 10 shirts at RoboProm :) Each ticket purchased is your chance to win one fabulous t-shirt from one of our favorite vendors!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Team 2386 will be attending RoboProm. This will be the first time attending Championships and of course RoboProm. The students are looking forward to this. Thank you for putting this together!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Team 2705 just bought their tickets to roboprom! We had a blast last year and can't wait to go again this year!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

We have 64 teams and counting attending RoboProm. Check them out below!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

We haven't bought our tickets, but would love to attend! We have about 25 students though, is there enough room for us all to still get tickets? And which courtyard are your referring to where we can find you to buy tickets? Or can we just buy them at the door? Thanks!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Jackie,

1071 I know purchased tickets but we're not on this list. I just want to make sure everything went okay with the purchase?

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Well, it's my senior year now and I still have never gone to a prom but this year will finally be the year :)

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Ticket purchased. RoboProm #6, See you all there!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

We will be selling tickets on Wednesday in the courtyard with the FIRST banner or HERE for a limited time. I'm not really too sure how else to describe its location but you cannot miss it, it is where all the teams attending CMP get their picture taken.



Hey Dave! The teams listed in that post are not totally up to date. All purchases go directly to the school accountant and then she forwards them along to us and she has been out a couple days. I will post an updated list monday evening and PM you if I see that 1071 isn't on it.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

HELLO CD-ers!
Due to popular demand we are opening up our pre-sales until TOMORROW 3PM PT on our RoboProm Page. This is your LAST chance to snag pre-sale tickets so go get them!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Will you be selling them on Thursday too?

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

IF we still have tickets available on Thursday, we will be selling tickets. This entirely depends how Wednesday sales go and as those have not quite happened yet I cannot give you a definite answer.

I really recommend trying to purchase on Wednesday or while we have extended our pre-sale.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Thanks to the extended presale, Team 1676 just purchased tickets for 13 team members! See you all on Thursday! :D

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Thanks for extending the deadline.
Team 341 has 33 members attending!
The kids can't wait.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

1939 has 15 students attending. This is our first Roboprom, so everyone is very excited.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Okay Dokie so we've finally got all our ticket sales tallied up and I'm here to give you the breakdown!

This year has been our most successful year yet regarding pre-sales. We have sold 1329 of the 1500 available, this is a little over 2 1/2 times more than last year.

We have 109 teams joining from both FRC and FTC, even some event Volunteers who make CMP totally awesome. You can check out all the teams below.

I'd also like to remind everyone that bought tickets that your ticket pick up time has been sent out or will be sent out tonight so please check your email tomorrow morning and if you have any issues with your scheduled time, send us an email and we will work things out.

A tiny thing that was slipped into the email but may go unnoticed is a request NOT to bring latex to RoboProm. This is most common in balloons and we typically don't have issues, but we do have people with allergies and ask that you let them enjoy a latex-free RoboProm.

Once again we are selling some adorable RoboProm necklaces from 3929 The Atomic Dragons and you can check them out on our Facebook page!

And now for the teams!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

This is absolutely nuts. That's a huge amount of people!

Thanks again to 399 for this! 3929 has two students going to St. Louis selling the laser cut necklaces and denim bow ties.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

What time will you start selling the remaining tickets on Wednesday?

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Wednesday: Sales open up at 4PM and close at 6PM
Thursday: Sales open up at 7AM and close at 5PM(if there are any tickets left)

Dang it I won't be in St. Louis by 6 on Wednesday.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Do mentors chaperoning require a ticket as well?

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Team 2341 also purchased 19 tickets on April 12 and are not on the list. Just checking

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Mentors attending as chaperones do not need tickets!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

I'm afraid 2341 is not in our records :/ unless you bring a receipt, we will not be able to give you tickets. Please double check to make sure your credit card was charged and email us at roboprom399@gmail.com so we can work everything out.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Sold out, I assume?

I sure hope not.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Is there anyway for me to reserve a ticket and pick it up? I'm afraid that you will be out by the time I can actually leave my teams pit, or do you think there will be enough?

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Some of my team members went to buy tickets today (Wednesday) and apparently were told they had sold out. I was the only member of my team to preorder...

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

We have 11 pre ordered extra tickets extra.
Come by our pit at 3211 on Galileo, and ask to talk to Liron if interested.

Cheers.

Ill be there first thing tomorrow.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Sorry guys! Posted it on Facebook and tweeted but forgot CD, but yes we are sold out of RoboProm tickets. I'm afraid we can't sell anymore or we'll be violating fire codes :/

If you want tickets you will have to go "black market" and buy from teams that have extra.

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Two Team Mean Machine ladies desperately need tickets to roboprom tonight! If any teams have extra we would be happy to buy them of the 'black market' from you!

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

I have tickets to sell(2). Who needs some

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Any chance you still have those? And if so, where could I find you?

Re: RoboProm 2013
 

Yes, sec 150 Newton, look for team in black and red that are sitting
