Anyone registered yet?
I see that the FIRST events page hasn't been updated to show how many teams are registered for each regional; I can't get in touch with our team contact to see if we registered since Martin County schools are still closed from the hurricane.
Has anyone registered? Today is the first day of registration, right? I don't see it listed in CD's upcoming events banner. |

Re: Anyone registered yet?
So let's try to help them and stop reloading... And hope we don't miss our spot ;)
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Was up for about 30 seconds then went back down. I really like hitting F5 though
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
I got in for about 5 seconds but when I clicked add regional it kicked me off. The disappointment! :ahh:

"This service is temporarily unavailable. Please DO NOT CALL FIRST. Please try again later. (TIMS)" I think maybe they are just a tad irritated with the phone calls? So let's stop calling them and bogging things down by clicking "Proceed" 30 times a minute - they obviously know that people are having trouble registering, so perhaps we should all be PATIENT, go take a little break, and give FIRST time to get everything in order? |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
I can't believe it's been overloaded! There are what, about 1200 teams? So at most one person from each team is trying to get in. They can't design a system that can handle 1200 requests at once? Seems ridiculous... They seem to have this capacity problem every year....
<edit> got to the Payment info page.. and it's all last year's info. If we miss out registering for our first pick, because of their server capacity problems, we'll be very upset.... |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
I finally got thru, and signed up for an event. Interestingly, the invoice lists last year's info: $5000 for first event, due December 1 2003.
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Took a while but 123 is signed up for Detroit complete with e-mail confirmation from FIRST :)
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
The TIMS system was very slow this morning as we were trying to update our information from last year... and we kept getting kicked out. I have tried every 5 minutes or so since then to register and either cannot get into the system, or get kicked out at various steps. It's frustrating but there's not much you can do; sicne I work in an IT department I am sympathizing for the folks that are working on the system.
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Very frustrating. I keep getting closer and closer to the finish. Then I get an "invalid session ID" error and have to start again.
I'm in IT too, and I built a website that was able to handle more than 3500 users at a time. Yay.. finally, as I was typing this I got my confirmation page. We're registered for Manchester! |

I beleive it was 2 years ago, FIRST had a license for filemaker that allowed 10 concurrent connections. Knowing they would be in trouble if they let everyone directly connect, they implemented another computer as a proxy that would only let 10 people through to the database server at a time. However, the number of connections swampped the proxy and nobody could get through to anything. EDIT: Since you're in IT, and in the general proximity of Manchester, would you consider volunteering to help them with their capacity issues? Quote:

Until I got this Authentication Error Error: Invalid Session ID Tips: Don't double-click on buttons, tabs, or links. Click once, then wait for the page to refresh. Don't use the Back or Refresh buttons in your web browser. Only use the navigation buttons in the Team Information Management System interface. Bookmarked links to the system don't work because the Session ID is changed each time you logon. When you logon, any other sessions you have open will be logged off. Simultaneous access to your account from multiple computers and/or browser windows is not allowed. Guess I'll try again... Went back in & it has us registered... |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Yay! Team 1504 is official out of MSU and going to the West Michigan Regional! :D :D :D

Re: Anyone registered yet?

Re: Anyone registered yet?
Does anyone know when they will start updating how many spots for each are left or even better what teams are going to each one?
thanks |

Re: Anyone registered yet?
The system seems to be all better now. Registration seems to be wide open. It now 3:17 pm. Detroit looks like it's almost closed!
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Team 1168 is now officially registered for the Chesapeake Regional!
Now we just have to get $6000.... |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
anyone else notice that the columns are mixed up....the open capacity is mixed up with the signed up teams
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Team 1114, Governor Simcoe S.S. and team 1503, Westlane S.S., both sponsored by GM Powertrain (St. Catharines Engine Plant) are registered for the Greater Toronto Regional. And team 188, Woburn C.I. is currently the only team registered for the Waterloo Regional.
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Team 48 is in at the Buckeye Regional. Watch out Greater Toronto - you're next!
DS&TK @ RRHOF '05!.....I wish!......... |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
814 hasn't signed up for a regional yet because we don't know which one to go to. Usually we go to San Jose but that regional is going to be during our Spring Break and nobody wants to go during their break.
Frankly, I think going to a competition during Spring Break would be great...But I guess people actually like going skiing and stuff on their breaks...Hmm... We're considering Las Vegas, though...But I wanna compete at San Jose. My team is against me this year. :( |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
The rumors I have heard is the the Technokats will be attending the Boilermaker Regional and the Midwest Regional. Hopefully Andy Baker can confirm that tonight, or any other mentor from 45.

Re: Anyone registered yet?
Team 75 really enjoyed both regionals we went to last year, so we'll be doing the Mid-Atlantic and Drexyl combination again. Can't wait, I'm already getting pumped about the season!
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Team 25 signed up for NJ of course. Now we are hoping to get back to the same form as we were in 03.
Our 2nd is still being determined, but we basically are almost set with it, only if we get denied by our school board or the event fills up, will keep us out. |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Well, we got ours all set too. Im really excited, the second team for Kettering University: Team 1506, Metal Muscle, out of K.U. and various sponsors. Totally operated by Kettering University Student Mentors.
yay for FIRST!!! see you at the Detroit regional. -Alex |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
179 is registered for the florida regional
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Team 383 is signed up for the Midwest Regional - new venue, eh? Can someone from the area tell how close it is from the Sheraton Hotel & Towers? - and hopefully we'll be able to attend a second regional within driving distance. :D

Re: Anyone registered yet?

Seems like the Bosch teams, Metal in Motion and the Burning Magnetos, are making their comeback to the Florida Regional. The last two times MiM came to FL they walked away the champs. On top of that, there's the usual crop of incredible Florida competition! This is gonna be a battle... I think I feel my heartburn acting up... |

Re: Anyone registered yet?
As a side note, I just checked out the list and the Detroit Regional is completely full. First one to fill up!
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Team 836 is signed up for the BAE SYSTEMS Granite State Regional, Manchester, NH.
One of our biggest sponsors is BAE SYSTEMS so why not go? We have a few other regionals in mind like Annapolis i think we are registered for that one too. |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
I found out the other day that 1293 signed up for the Peachtree Regional.
We're going to A-town once this year--now let's shoot for twice! |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
The hurricanes have thrown a wrench in my process. Our first meeting will be Oct. 12th. I'll give my orientation on FIRST values. I'm working on getting more student and teacher support, and am very much hoping that the money that was promised before the school year is still there for us. I am affraid UCF will fill up before we even have any money, and if we can't make it to the UCF regional, we will not have the money to able to travel to another regional. If things don't go right for me over the next couple weeks, I am afraid I will not be able to get my team started. Anyone have any advice, please PM me.

Re: Anyone registered yet?
The X-Cats are at Finger Lakes.
We'll be at the championship as well. |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Well Ed, you guys do get into every Champs forever, so I hope you guys are going!
Anyway, 384 is signed up for the VCU Regional. A little birdie told me that won't be our only regional either.... :D |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
269 is heading to Midwest, hopefully Boilermaker as well...
|
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Team 190 (whose current official name, according to FIRST, is WPI/WPI/WPI/WPI & Mass Academy of Math and Science & Mass Academy of Math and Science) is going to BAE, the Championship, and probably Orlando.
If you want info on teams not posted here, the Team Map has the list of all teams going to each event. Unfortunately, they seem to have confused New Hampshire and Vermont (New Hampshire should be to the east of Vermont). They also still don't have Israel on the map. |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Team #1501 is headed for Purdue regional! See ya there!
What a pain the registration was...geez! |
Re: Anyone registered yet?
Team 549 will be at Manchester N.H............Go DevilDawgs........... Can't wait. We might also go to the Chesapeake Regionals if all goes well....Look for us. We'll have the driver with the 15" mowhawk.
:cool: :D |
