Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where 2
 

This is sort of like last year's thread on the top of the forums. I have been trying to find out minicomp information for this year and I started to get some old information, so in order to make it convenient for everyone, I thought this big thread can hold all of this year's F.I.R.S.T. Frenzy's mini comps! :)

Re: Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where 2

I believe that last year at River Rage they announced it would be on September 11th, 2004. This is also a Saturday, so it probably is.

Re: Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where 2
 

Any west coast events announced yet?

Re: Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where 2
 

The WRRF's California Robot Games. It'll probably be in September or October. I think it's still up in the air. Ken Leung will be the official source of information for these boards, when there is information to be had.

California Robot Games 2004
 

Since you asked, here it is:

WRRF is proud to announce California Robot Games 2004 is being put together as of this moment. After careful consideration of the dates in late September/early October, we've decided October 2nd is the best date for us to have Cal Games 04. We will be capping this event at 28 teams until further notice.

Registration to this event will be first come first serve, and I will let everyone know as soon as registration is open. We would love to see the Southern California teams come back again this year (and bring another team or two with you), and hope the Sacramento teams will join us as well. As always, I would love to see as many Bay Area teams participate as possible.

Any interest for Cal Games 04 please reply to this thread:

The event flyer is in there as well.

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where
 

Hey everyone, just to let you know team 555 outta Northern NJ is thinking of making a competition in september or october, in which we create our own game and teams can use past KOP to build a robot to compete. This is a great way to train freshman and other newbies about the ways of first before the actual compettiton. There is a competition like this run out in Michigan called OCCRA and they said that 469 has competed in it in the past two years and last year they were national champs and this year they were national finalist. IF anyone is interested please check out the "Exciting New Competition" thread in the general forum, and respond ASAP, this wont happen if we dont get enough teams so please consider it.

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where
 

there will most likely be a competition held by teams 11 and 1302 in august or september. pm me or resond for more info!

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where

River Rage - WIP
 

Hi All,

Not to make a useless post but some people have been asking about River Rage. To my knowledge there will be a River Rage 8, however I have not exactly been in the loop so take it with a grain of salt. There is also a rumor that the venue may change to a bigger better location with more parking, details to come ;-) Hopefully that will wet your whistle I, or someone else from the committee, will post as soon as there is more information.

Heh. Scott wasnt around during the days where I forced everyone to be at the high school at 3am...
Those were some of my favorite memories of the team: purposely scheduling everyone to be there a half hour before they actually had to leave because I knew everyone would be exhausted and running late, making a "Dew Slurpee run" for everyone in the car, making "travel kits" of directions, schedules, etc. for each car in the caravan (usually of around 6 cars), passing eachother on the highway, giving directions through the 2-way radios ("Okay everyone, turn left...now."), ALWAYS either losing a car in the rotary or having a car break down, Elgin's various speeding tickets, and then finally getting there....the ride there was always just as fun as the competition itself.

Re: Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where 2
 

I never once got a speeding ticket during an FRC competition (knock on wood), my first speeding ticket was after a FLL tournament.

Re: Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where 2

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where
 

Is this date still correct? I know that it is direct conflict with the Bash @ The Beach mini-comp in CT. I heard that the crew holding Fall Fury was trying to possibly move the date??
Any news on that?

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where
 

Havent seen anyone posting an exact date for Robot Rodeo...

Robot Rodeo 2004 will be on the 23rd of october in Orlando, Fl. competition is being hosted by 1083 and 1068. Registration will be opened in september... stay tuned...

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where

Re: River Rage - WIP
 

Justin, I was wondering if any info is yet available for River Rage 8 and i was wondering why the web-site wasn't working anymore? :confused:

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where

Dont Forget Brunswick Eruption 3.0- hosted by Team 25 Raider Robotix

October 30th !!!! (just 12 weeks away)
The field is filling up quickly but we will keep adding teams as long as they wish to play. Bring the family and prospective new teams to this one !!

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where
 

Fall Fury is still working on securing a new date. We will not compete on the same day as Bash. We may have to reschedule to early November, will there be enough interest?

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where
 

If you guys reschedule to early November, team 237 will definitly be there. :cool: Im glad you guys are changing dates, i was quite sad when i found out that it was the same day as Bash.

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where
 

team 121 would definatley be interested =D (hopefully bring up some new recruits to it!!!)

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where
 

If its early november or late october watch out-because Duel on the Delaware is the 23rd BE V.3 is the 30th and Ramp Riot is the 13th of nov. So if you could get it on the 6th-it would all be perfect, unless 237 wouldnt come to BE then, then you have to change it completely ;)

Re: 2004 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where

Just want to remind everyone that this thread should be an "announcement" thread, so let's keep the discussions in individual off-seasons' threads. The messages to the community will be much clearer if only official announcements are posted here.

Thanks.
