Can't wait. Get pumped.

Re: 4 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Wow four days until we Duel. In four days team 222 could have a four-pete....or maybe not. Looking forward to Duel hoping all the great teams help us break in our rookies right. Stop by and say hello.

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

That also means there is only 4 days to submit any music requests to dueldj@gmail.com !

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

I cant believe that I am going to have to miss The Duel this year, but I have to attend Hazardous Materials Response Skills course for my Fire Fighter academy training, so everyone good luck.! I know that everyone will have a great time MOE and 316 really know how to have a great off season event.

Best of luck to all teams attending.





P.S I might be able to show up for a bit on Friday for the setup but I am not sure so anyone who will be there on Friday hopefully I will see you there.

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

SOO EXCITED!!

I drove the robot around on Sunday (and only hit one plant, which is better than my car driving record) and I cant wait for Saturday!!!

Karen (433 FIREBIRDS)

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Hey MOE and SAM,

You guys need any more volunteers for anything, I just found out that I don't have anything to do this Sat and would to love to help out.

-Freddy

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Karen - sounds like you are definitely qualified to drive your robot at the Duel! ;)

See you in a few.

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Freddy - it would be great to have you join us. Our Volunteer Coordinator has your name and will identify some options on where you can assist us. Also, speak with Wayne Penn about emceeing a few rounds.

See you Saturday!

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Team 341 will bring two teams and twin machines. One machine for our regular crew and one for pre-rookie Episcopal Academy. They will be listed as Team 153, The Wombats, but their machine wil look strangely like Miss Daisy.

Thank you to Rich Kressly and Team 1712 Dawgma for helping this team get started.

Please be sure to give the kids from Episcopal Academy a big FIRST welcome when you see them. This event may decide whether they register or not. Lets show them how fun and friendly FRC teams can be!!

Good luck to everyone at the Duel!!

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

I will be going to the Duel! As it turns out, I'm going to be in town this weekend, so I'll stop by and catch up with people! I'm not quite as crazy as I used to be, so I won't be bringing my computer down to do videos this year... sorry!

3 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

If anyone is or can be in the Salem County NJ area (near the Delaware Memorial Bridge) on Friday, we need a few more volunteers to help put the field together from 8 am until 5 pm. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Send me an e-mail if you can help.

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

I'm looking forward to the Duel as it will be my first time there. It will be another first FIRST moment for me to be living local, and not traveling to compete. So excited!


... I need to give Slate a bath though. :rolleyes:

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

I'm so sad that Team 102 had to drop out :( But I will still be there to cheer. I just can't get enough of FIRST Robotics :)

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Happy to help you guys out just like you did for us. :D

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Ashley:

We are disappointed that Team 102 could not join us. However, there will be many opportunities for cheering. Glad you will still be there!

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

I wouldn't miss it for the world!!! I may be a single person... not there with a team... but I will put forth an effort to be one of the loudest people there :D

And I just wanna say that we were very happy to give out payment as a donation! Hope it helps you guys out in some way.

Re: 3 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

FREE FOOD???

COUNT ME IN!!!

(Oh, wait a minute . . . I'm already on the Friday worklist.)

NEVERMIND. :o

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Wooh! I'm so excited for this! I didn't get to go last year.

I'll be as loud as I can! This is gonna be a blast! =D

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

If you would like to help out with the field Breakdown that would be GREATLY appreciated. 80 % of our team has to leave for homecoming.
Thank You!!!

~Shelby

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Chuck is in such a hustle that he's getting on the bus tonight!!!! :ahh:

He's gong to have a bunch of books to keep him company, so he won't get bored till Saturday morning---EARLY morning. We leave by 3:30. :yikes:

See y'all there.

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Only you would be so loud, Amanda, only you...

Last year was so great. I can't wait for Duel again. This is going to be another awesome robotics trip.

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Safe travels to Chuck and Team 84!

Let's see if Team 84 can continue their book drive contributor winning streak! Isn't it two for two so far? :D

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Thanks, Mr MOE, I've been working at it...but if you see a robot jump the gate or anything, well....I just so happen to not look ANYTHING like my who am i pic, and some other girl on my team who might be driving on saturday does....so blame her.

:D

(<two days!)

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

:( It is really hard to give up a stick, but I would like to wish my rookies the best of luck as they begin their driving careers at the Duel! Best of luck to all teams this year. Fortunately I am in college this year so I'm missing out on my FAVORITE off-season event. Next year........ ;)

1 Day Until We DUEL !!!
 

Well, just returned from field set-up. Mike Wade's field looks great and the pits are set up with pit banners and carpet number ID. The FIRST Vex Challenge Field is up and ready also.

Can't wait to see the Field House full of FRC and FVC teams.

Safe travels all!

Re: 1 Day Until We DUEL !!!
 

I'm ready to watch the Duel happen, however I am driving and don't know where I am going. Once I reached Salem, I am going to be lost LOL.

Re: 1 Day Until We DUEL !!!
 

I can't wait until tomorrow!

I'll be there around 1:30. Don't be afraid to say hello! =]

Re: 1 Day Until We DUEL !!!
 

I would to apologize to the Duel Crew for not being there to volunteer. I have to finish some assignments before classes on Monday.

Re: 1 Day Until We DUEL !!!
 

Thank you to teams 365 and 316 for putting on such a great off season event. It ran very smoothly and was a blast to be at. We'll see you next year. :cool:


Thank you to teams 341 and 316 for being such great alliance partners. We put up a great fight in the quarter finals and our team has no regrets. We'll see you both at Ramp Riot!

-Aroon Amarnani

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Nicely put Aroon. It was amazing. Even though my team did not get to compete, it was so much fun to watch. I'd prefer to be in the pits and driving haha, but it was a really great competition!!!

See you all (who are going) at Brunswick Eruption :cool:

Re: 7 Days Until We DUEL !!!
 

Can we get a recap of the event?
