Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

100% :cool:

(that varsity sport one almost got me though, didn't know how other schools regarded their associated teams)

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

Nice idea creating a quiz.

I got 90%

I got the "Select all that apply: Which locations has the FRC world championship been in, in the past?" question wrong. (totally forgot that some states hosted championships.. at least I know now)

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

Question 6 about which places has Worlds been held really stumped me.

Overall, someone who loves FIRST could get an easy 90% (like me), but I bet many FIRST kids could fail it. Lol. Good quiz.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

I did the same. I neglected to remember where a city actually exists.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

"The Simbotics"

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

This one got me too

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

Final question on varsity sports is too subjective, but other than that it was a pretty solid quiz. If you've been in Chief for at least a year you could probably get them all.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

Agreed on the last question... Many schools have trouble listing FIRST as a sport. It may be varsity, but they rank it as an after school activity, not a sport. I'm not aware of any actual numbers that have been run showing how many schools have it as a sport, or as a varsity sport, or allow team members to letter. My gut tells me it's not "most".

Also on the "detroit regional" question... It was listed as a true or false question, not multiple choice! So even though a "more correct" answer is available, choosing false also correctly answers the question.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

9/10

Many schools don't have FIRST. Many that do don't have FRC or FTC (something at the high school level). Many that do do not offer varsity letters or recognize it as a sport, rather just an activity. And then there's all the teams that aren't affiliated with schools.

So I'm sticking with no.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

I didn't pay much attention to it but thanks, i'l change it!

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

I got 90%

No, FRC is not a varsity sport at most schools. In America, there are ~24,000 secondary schools, and there are only about 3,000 FRC teams in the world (some are not in schools, and some schools have multiple teams). Definitely not most:D

Maybe reword the question and see if you can get statistics to back up the "most schools" since I know my school considered FRC a class. All the other questions were pretty good though.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

I changed the question to now say "some schools"

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

You are certainly right this was also changed to allow both answers to be correct

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

90%

I omitted New Hampshire from the list of places that have hosted a FIRST Championship, because I recall (maybe incorrectly?) Dean saying at the 1996 Kickoff that the new event to be held at Epcot that season would be called The Championship. Need to check my paper copy of the 1996 manual ... (where did I put that?) I think that before 1996 the event in Manchester was called The Competition, and of course it was the only one.

Sometimes I wonder If people on CD still don't know how home schooling works :rolleyes: Don't worry. It's not just this instance that I'm talking about.
Other than that, excellent quiz.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

If you go back to TBA and check the years you are correct. It is only called the National Championship when it is moved from New Hampshire to Florida in 1995.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

Florida??????

90% (well, 85%; I read the rebound rumble question too quickly because it looked really easy ::ouch:: )

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

Epcot Center, Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida. Home of the FRC National Championship from '95 to '02.

This time period is the ONLY time period where Gregor cannot comment when somebody refers to the Championship as "nationals". BTW, just to annoy him: I did in fact attend Nationals in 2000. ;) :p I also attended Championship from '03-'07 (Houston and Atlanta--in fact, this question is the only one I missed, partly because I forgot about Atlanta).

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

At Dean's speech at Purdue last season I believe he referred to the pre-96 competition as the "championship...because it was the only event".

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

I did exactly the same thing.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

80%. I didn't know that champs had been in TX (got all the others; knew that the first one was in NH and it was at Disney, Atlanta, and lately St. Louis). I also left off "false" on the Killer Bees question; read the question too quickly and only selected one answer.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

I think of Lunacy as dodgeball...

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

8/10; missed the champs locations question and the Killer Bees question.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

Lunacy=Dodgeball on ice? Haha.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

I kind of think Aerial (Assault) Assist was a little like dodgeball. Ask Dean Kamen about dodging soccer balls in Breakaway...

Edit: almost forgot: 100%

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

90%. I didn't know Michigan has districts.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

good one

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

9/10, that Championship one... :confused: :D

I'm from Michigan, so one of those questions was very easy :D

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

80%, missed the Champs locations one and the Varsity question.

Re: FRC trivia quiz
 

I feel marking only "Michigan has a district system" should be correct anyway, because by saying that Detroit Regional doesn't exist, you're implying Killer Bees did not win it.

I got 80% too for the same reasons, didn't know Texas happened prior to champs split in Houston in 2017.
