So we would have to rush up there right after finals to get there, then it is a matter of if we think it would be wise to drive back that night and drive up again in the morning or try to get a hotel for the night which can be difficult since we used up most of our budget since we went to both the az regionals this year.

I know it is not as great of problems that some of you are having since you made it to worlds but it is where our team stands, the smallest of things can work against you some times.

Here in MN we usually have one or two teams that load in Saturday morning (due to a long drive to get to the cities). I recommend contacting the people running it, explain the situation, and try to work something out. For us, pits open at 7:30 Saturday morning, and opening ceremonies aren't until 8:45 - plenty of time to get through inspection if you're there right away and ready to work!

Re: Arizona AIA 1st State Championships

Is it mandatory to ship your robot to St Louis, because we have our trailer and we were already hauling our tools so we were just gonna throw it back there with them like we do for all tournaments.

Re: Arizona AIA 1st State Championships

Didn't you get the emails from FIRST about shipping? You have to have it picked up TODAY by FedEx freight, unless you already got an exemption.

Re: Arizona AIA 1st State Championships

No we never got them and FIRST apologized to us they just sent us our shipping info today

Re: Arizona AIA 1st State Championships

Glad you got that straightened out!

Re: Arizona AIA 1st State Championships

Yes we also are now the 30th team to qualify for state hope we can do well at worlds and do well at state

Re: Arizona AIA 1st State Championships

Starting to get a little excited as the Championship gets closer. Hoping to see come cool uses of the 6 hour robot work period! CRUSH will be bringing some modifications that we hope will help us make a run at that first ever, AIA State Championship Banner:]

Re: Arizona AIA 1st State Championships

We got our robot back today, hotel and bus reservations are made, should be fun!

Re: Arizona AIA 1st State Championships

Is anyone else not seeing AIA on the blue alliance's list of offseason events?

EDIT: Actually, there quite a few not on there, such as TRI and IRI.

Re: Arizona AIA 1st State Championships

Anybody else getting excited for the "FIRST" ever AIA Arizona Robotics State Championships?!?!?

I know I'm honored to be the FTAA for this inaugural event and looking forward to seeing everyone "behind the glass" this week.

Hopefully everyone has their robots back that attended Champs.

We're trying to write an automated offseason event importer for TBA so we don't have to do them all manually :P (link).

As an aside, does anybody know who the Scorekeeper will be? We're testing a feature on TBA for offseason events to input their live match data so results and notifications can be updated instantly. If you can put the Scorekeeper in touch with me (PM is fine), we can get you set up.

Re: Arizona AIA 1st State Championships

Good luck to those competing! We couldn't go :(
