Re: Suffield Shakedown 2016
 

I'm working with Bruce @ FIRST in regards to him agreeing that we can't run the field on FMS Lite. He has told me he will make every effort to get me the complete FMS electronics for the field. At this point I hope to have a full house of robots & pray we have decent weather. As all who have attended in the past you know I had to make hard decisions to shut down the scrimmage early. I really want to have a full day of competition & make it an enjoyable experience. I am also asking earlier than usual for volunteers for both the Friday set-up & reset crews for Saturday. For Friday set-up, I will need able-bodied volunteers as it looks like a logistics nightmare of setting up. I would like the set-up volunteers chosen ahead of time & that they know the game ahead of time. Please visit the Aces High facebook page or website for contact information
But most of all I'm looking forward to seeing all the teams again & having a good time. Remember my motto; Have fun, learn something new, meet new people & smile! :D

what is time do matches start at

Re: Suffield Shakedown 2016
 

GUS will be there for the first time since 2009. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you design a simple robot and stay on schedule.
