Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

Who's the group that's running this event?

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

Well, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), FIRST Robotics Canada and its based at Victoria Park CI, home to team 4914, so I assume them as well.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

Does anyone know what the celebrity team matches are at lunch? Sounds interesting but I can't find anything about it online.

No one knows for sure or at least not telling but come on who wouldn't like to see Rob Ford, John Tory and Oliva Chow go at it :)

And for the record; 2935 will be there with Under-taker.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

I really can't wait to see the team list for this event!
5031 Is super excited to be participating. We will be making improvements to our robot, it will no longer just be a low goal'in defense machine.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

Team 4939 is also planning to attend.

Should be tons of fun!!!!!!!!

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

Third on the request for a team list. It would be great to see who is going, and how many spots are still available.

Also some more info on celebrity matches and the awards criteria would be nice.

From what I've heard the event is full. I too would love a team list. Gotta get the strategy on.
