I told Michael to "drive it like you stole it", but I'm not sure how well that strategy can be implemented when the driver is one of the people who has to fix it if it gets damaged in a fall :)

Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic
 

Team 294 and 330 will be displaying the 2015 Alpha hardware at the Fall Classic.

We will be displaying the roboRIO, Power Distribution Panel (PDP), Pneumatics Control Module (PCM), and the Voltage Control Module (VCM). As the software is not functioning yet, this will be a static display, but you're welcome to stop by, look at the hardware, and ask questions.

Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic
 

Awesome! Will definitely check this out, thanks for the heads up.

Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic
 

1538 will be running a full field webcast like we did at Battle at the Border. Webcast can be found at:

Anyone agree/disagree?

Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic
 

Also, there's a column for second robots and some teams have filled that out. Does that mean those practice robots get in?

Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic
 

There are only 30 teams competing.
Team 4276 was on "Standby", so we will be bringing about 40 students but just to observe, meet the other teams, and practice scouting/reviewing of other team's robots.

Also, the practice robotos are being used by "pre-rookie" teams who don't have robots. They are designated to be driven by these new teams, not as a second robot for the hosting team.

Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic
 

Are you assuming this or are you involved with the planning?

If you're involved, it'd be great if you could clarify what the 30 teams are.

Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic
 

I'm not totally clear which teams have 2nd bots that are actually competing independently, and which (like ours) is going to be used by another team.

Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic
 

I know that 1197's #2 robot is currently in the hands of 20140105 (West Torrance H.S.).

Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic
 

Does anyone know if a match schedule will be posted?

Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic
 

Due to space and time constraints we only have slots for 30 robots. We want as many teams as possible to participate. We especially want our Pre-rookies to participate fully and learn how to compete effectively.

Second robots will only be allowed to compete if they are being driven/run by a Pre-rookie team. We just do not have the room for a team take more than one slot. Yes, you may have some of your team working with the Pre-rookies and your second robot may be present to be used to show off or for spare parts.

A few comments:
1) This is a great problem to have (too many robots)
2) One of the organizer's big concerns is cycle time. The faster we turn the matches this year the more confident we will be next year that we can run shorter cycles and more matches, which leads to more slots. Please do everything you can to make field reset happen quickly. This might include sending some volunteers to help with reset.
3) If things work out with this many teams this year, we might set our sights on a two day event next year.

A match schedule will be generated when all teams have registered and we know who is competing. We will try and get it posted on the web but I am not sure what the arrangements are. I understand that The Holy Cows will be webcasting so we should be able to do something about posting a schedule.
