as far as i know, it's a fact. University High will be hosting the Rodeo in October. but, as they say, we can jump off that bridge when we get to it.

for now, let's just concentrate on making this the best ever Mayhem in... er... Ft. Lauderdale?

PS: needs work on the name, don't ya think?

update
 

WE have had a meeting with facitlites today and it went good. We will be contacting first to find out about cost i will be putting another update later tongiht and dan will be posting updates to.

Yes we have more than enough space I hope lol.. more information to follow soon hopefully

Also yah lol.. George name needs work.. we are deff. not Mayhem in Miami, nor did we even attend it lol

Infact we've never attended a unofficial FIRST event ( no pre or post season comps ) lol so this will be a learning experience but it will be fun none the less

First Ideas are something like Assault on the Atlantic but I don't know.. mayb best idea wins a shirt?

to get some cash you guys should by a few shirts and sell them, you might be able to make some profit off em! =)

Here is the latest of today Tuesday 4/22

We had a meeting with are teacher mentor and he took us to facilities office. They ok'ed a date (wont be released till we are certain we will have on, dont want to get anyones hopes up) They papers are with adminstration now. They will sign of tommorow on them. ARe next move with which we should be done by the end of the week is laying out floor plans for are gym. Seeing how many teams we can fit and the best way to set up the field and where to put it. WE are in the process of talking to first to get us a field. After all of this is complete and shure it will happen thats when we will announce the date of event and number of openings and we will move on from there.

If you have questions or comments you can email me at Ryanteam710@aol.com or im me at Sirminnyme or just pm me

The people that are ahead of this are me (ryan) and dan (stud man dan) so you can alose contact him.

*NOTE*: Please do not ask about dates of event or anything related it will not be answered untill we are ready to tell.

fill free to suggest names for this meet

oh wow!! your shirts rule! ok, if i'm gonna get something for it i can think of a few ideas:

Clash on the Coast
South Florida Frenzy <--- my personal favorite
Broward County Robot Bash

more to come later, maybe...

Eric: can you guys use Fluffy's brain on Twitch? if not, could ya just bring Fluffy, then? a competition without SPAM isn't one worth goin to! =-[

Last year's robot brain works on this years. We used last years to test autonomous after shipping. It works just as well, everything's the same. So just take it out of Fluffy. So the WomBBATs will be representing as well lol.

Really?...I thought there was a firmware change in the RC that negated using last years? ...but if you've already tried it successfully...it's a non-issue. I was also thinking of using our ISAAC16 with a few mods to the code...or an old RC and having to skip aitonomous :(

either way, we haven't had a team meeting since Nats, so we'll bring it up as soon as we do.....I've already e-mailed Warren to give him a heads up.

...for a T-shirt,
I've been trying to come up with an "L" word ie.
"The "L" in Lauderdale"....but so far it just turns out silly, wierd or nasty :D

except, maybe, for Legends in Lauderdale
(sounds like a Sr. PGA tournament)

As long as we are suggesting things....

Ft. Lauderdale Face-off
Seaside Squabble

Oh and SPAM I would call InnovationFIRST and see how much a replacement for just the one component, for the whole Control System Bundle costs $1145, but I would imagine if you only bought part of it the control system it would be a lot cheaper.

update wed 4/23

Well we are still in the process of talking to FIRST we have left emails and messages for them so they should reply soon. Look for a post by dan to tell about FIRST, he is the one in contact with him. I didnt get to talk to the school mentor but i am pretty shure the papers where signed off today for using are gym for the Invitational. We where worried about alot of interference at are school due to radio's used by employees and are church that is 500 feet to the south of us has there own radio station that they are broadcasting from righ there. We were worried aobut interference we we ran are robot all around and couldnt find one place where we could get inteference, so we are good dthere. Next thing we are checking on is the load that the plus in are gym can hold. We will be talking to maintmence tommorow and hopefully finding out if we can hold everthing. We should be able to. ON another not we have been passing names around are team and we came up with one that we liked CHOAS ON THE COAST . How do you like that? We will still appreciate names from you. Keep bringing them in

No offense, but all the names everyones suggesting sound the same as all the other names suggested. Is alliteration really a must? This is the age of alliteration, sure... but get more creative.

Oh I have ideas alright. I just don't feel like thinking of them right now.

coming from the team who hosted the " Robot Rodeo " last year...


lol

Isn't it Ironic.. don't you think
We never said our ideas were ne good.. we just said best one wins a shirt

hummmm...

Robotic Pandemonium

:p
