2005? Many of us were there for that, more than nine months ago. Where's the information for next year's remote kickoffs?

Re: FIRST Kickoff/Remote Kickoff Info Now Up
 

I know for a fact that that link does not have the 2006 information in it. I was told the the event that was at Northville last year will be held in Novi this year by the woman in charge.

The Local one conradicts itself... 2006 kick off on 8th Jan 2005? This coming kick off is on the 7th Jan 2006.

Also, on that link I see no listing for a Wisconsin Kickoff. Anyone have some insider info on that? Thanks!

Re: FIRST Kickoff/Remote Kickoff Info Now Up
 

There will once again be a kickoff in Wisconsin at GE/WCTC in Waukesha. The paperwork for it was late getting in as we were confirming some late issues with satellite linkup. It should show up on that page sometime soon.

Rumor was there was going to be a Southern NE kick-off? Didn't happen??
Is this list final?

Re: FIRST Kickoff/Remote Kickoff Info Now Up
 

Will there be no NASATV broadcast this year?

Re: FIRST Kickoff/Remote Kickoff Info Now Up
 

There will be a broadcast. That's what all the Local Kickoff events are going to show.

I note that the label is now Local, rather than Remote. Quite a different meaning to use for the same thing, but I think it's very appropriate. It puts the focus on the teams around the world, rather than on the single stage in New Hampshire.

Re: FIRST Kickoff/Remote Kickoff Info Now Up
 

The Wisconsin kickoff is now listed on the page.

Re: FIRST Kickoff/Remote Kickoff Info Now Up
 

Are there any teams who are hosting there own KickOFF event or party?

Re: FIRST Kickoff/Remote Kickoff Info Now Up
 

Of course, but will it be on NASA TV? I ask because we'd like to have the majority of our team watch the kickoff from the school. If it's going to be on some other satellite feed, then I need to make special arrangements. The local kickoff page does not give the satellite broadcast details like it has done for the past few years.

Re: FIRST Kickoff/Remote Kickoff Info Now Up
 

Many teams get together to watch the broadcast as a team. 116 always does.
