GRITS 2014
 
Just wanted to put this up for any teams interested in hitting up the ATL & GeorgiaFIRST Robotics for a last chance to play Aerial Assault. Oh wait, I meant Aerial Assist, sorry. Still suffering memory loss from being hit in the face with a AA ball. My bad.

GRITS 2014 - FRC Off Season Event
Robots Southern Style

WHAT: The 5th Annual GRITS FRC Off-Season Competition, planned and organized by GeorgiaFIRST and the Georgia FIRST FRC Planning committee volunteers and graciously hosted by the 100 Black Men of Atlanta & 100 Scholars Robotics Alliance-Team 3091 as part of their week of activities that leads up to the Atlanta Football Classic.
WHEN: Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014 (Friday, Oct. 3 from 4-7:30pm is an optional load in and practice day for teams)
WHERE: Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA
COST: FREE to spectators!
REGISTRATION FEE: $300 due by September 20th.
Pre-Rookies: Free!
2nd Robot Entries per Team if slots are still available after Regular Registration: $300

So, who's thinking of signing up and joining us in Atlanta, or has already made the move and signed up?

Once we start up here in the next week or so I'll make sure to finalize our plans, but 4901 is more than likely attending.

Registration just opened, and I know plenty of teams are planning on attending, so I don't think a lack of teams will be a problem.

1648 is definitely attending, and we're making some massive changes to our robot. GRITS is a great testing ground for new ideas and designs. Hopefully we'll have everything up and running by the time the competition rolls around.

CircuitRunners will be there with our GRITS Offseason team as well as (hopefully!!) our CircuitBreakers rookie program driving last season's bot. (Fingers crossed for an open space)

20150067 is a Temporary Registration Number given to a group trying to establish an FRC team for the 2015 season. A permanent 4-digit number is only given once the formal team registration process is completed; that includes Regional/District event & KoP-Kickoff registrations, plus event payment.

Re: GRITS 2014
 
These are the rule changes for the GRITS off-season, adopted from the IRI rule changes with tiny revisions.

Rule Changes

1. There is no zone requirement for possession/assists.

2. A trussed ball which is untouched by another robot and enters the low goal will be considered scored.

3. G12 will be modified so that an immediately rectified possession of the opposing alliance ball will not be penalized.

4. The Violation portion of G20 will be modified :
Violation: Minor violations will result in a Foul. Loss of a bumper during a match could result in DISABLE depending on the aggressive behavior during the match.

5. Elimination Alliances are 4 teams. The Alliance captain determines which teams play each match however; every team must play in at least one elimination match.

6. One member from the non-playing team may be part of the drive team group and will be considered a COACH.

7. Draft order is 1-4, 4-1, 1-4.

8. No Time Outs in Eliminations – The Alliance Must Use Their 4th Robot.

GRITS Programs

This year at GRITS, we will again offer the Shadow a referee program. Students will have the opportunity to sign up for a qualifier match to shadow a ref.

In the coming weeks, watch for details of this program and all GRITS info at gafirst.org - Events - FRC - GRITS.

Remember, to complete your GRITS registration, payment of $300 must be received at GeorgiaFIRST by Sept. 20th.

.

Does that mean that if the match of 1v4 results in 1 winning the first match 4 is forced to play their back up bot for the second match, but 1 does not since they have the option of playing their back up bot in the finals?
