2005 Rochester Off Season Competition!!!!
 
Still need to agree on a name but other then that Ashley from team 1559 from Victor, NY and i from 1126 SparX from Webster, NY would like to organize a Rochester off season competition. the date is yet TBD but will not encounter the same date as any other off season competition. We are posting this just to have a survey type to see if any teams would at least try to come to our off season competition. It will most likely be located at the Webster Thomas High Gym for the field and the field house for the pit area. the school is only about 20 minutes away from RIT which held the FLR. So if any teams from anywhere especially teams who have gone to the Finger Lakes Regional would like to attend please leave a post here and leave your thoughts on this.

He basically covered everything I would say. We just want to know if this would be "popular" to figure out how much planning will be needed. We are working very hard towards this. Esp b/c I know I want to give Shadow Claw one more chance for a little fun!!! so let us know. thanks!

ill have to talk to our captain(because I'm only a freshmen) but I'm pretty sure team 1155 from Bronx science would come. some where closer to the city then Rochester would be nice though, and that way you'd get more of the city teams.

Team 1511 would definitely come. I will talk to our advisor and see what they think about it. I am sure that we would love to help you organize it or anything else you guys need. Its good to see that you guys want to host a off season competition. When we did the FIRST Rally it was a lot of fun and a lot of work. This would be a lot more in depth and I'm sure that you guys would need to do alot of planning. 1511 Rolling Thunder wants in and you have our support. I will spread the word out.

thats amazing to hear for all this help. and yes as much help that we could get from this is as welcome as any thing in a new world! we still have these things to discuss: Date, MC, Price?, location, how many teams, real comp or for fun, where to get field, need volunteers, and so on...

entry could be each team brings a part of the field plus a bit to cover costs. also definitely try to get the mythbusters(I'm trying to get PR to ask them for $$$ for next year) guys to MC it. as for location i say the city but thats only because i live there.

Re: 2005 Rochester Off Season Competition!!!!
 
there are a couple of things i would like to chime in on here.

i think that resurrecting the Rochester off season would be great! (Kodak used to have one every year) here are a few logistics to worry about. the field control, location, field parts, how many teams, one day/multi day, what game will be played, and the liability of the whole event.

i think that it is great to work on this but just make sure you are covering all the angles so that it will be a great event for all. btw i am pretty sure i can get 73 here and know that 340 is always down for this kind of stuff (even though i don;t officially speak for them)

another suggestion is to contact mike wade, who works for NASA Goddard because he owns a field and does alot of the off season comps.

Mike Wade, NASA Goddard SFC:

mwade@mscmail.gsfc.nasa.gov

good luck and let me know if there is anything i can do to help

639 would be definately interested, but we have to wait on how the money pans out.

Alright, we're in. I know the guy that runs 340 & I'm sure I can get him to agree. I can also help locate 1/2 of the field carpet (from the FLRC). If needed I aslo know the guy that was the MC for the spring comp at Edison. I bet I can talk him into it if you want.

340 will be willing to help out however you need. Just let us know. I was thinking about having our team take on a Mini competition but I didin't want to detract from the FLRC.

Re: 2005 Rochester Off Season Competition!!!!
 
At the risk of shooting myself in the foot, and giving up one of my precious few free weekends :eek: , I will go ahead and commit to this now....

I will write up a white paper on what it takes this year to "host" a scrimmage event (adding in all our experience from the pre-ship one that we hosted).

I will include the following at minimum:
Field Wiring Diagram
Radio Controls Information
Recommended Materials List
Field Components List (including high and low cost field items)
How-To's
Hints

If there is anything else teams would like to see in this paper, let me know... ahh let the fun begin!

I will try and have this done before I run off to Cleveland & Toronto, so that all the off season scrimmage teams have plenty of time to plan :)

Oh & Mirza, We can go to any of the local off season events for sure! :)
