Re: Potomac Vex League (PVL) Events
 

Folks,

Just a quick reminder...

Like all other times we have used the PVL H-A-R field that Luke and I built; this Saturday I don't expect to put down the tape (the octagon and the other lines) that you would see in the open parts of a 100% official field.

If anyone is planning to use a robot that needs that tape for line following (or any other mysterious reason), contact me and we can see what we can do to give you what you need.

Also the field tiles are Red, Blue and Yellow or Green, not the uniform gray recommended for a 100% official field.

Roboticon Plaques Update: Mrs. Wiseman has gotten the engraved plates made for us (Big Thank You to her!). I now need to mail them to you so that you can affix them to the wooden plaques you received the day of the event.

I also want to mail DVDs/CDs of pictures and video in the same packages.

My goal is getting them to your schools/mentors/coaches before the end of the school year.

PS: Next season is looking good. We may have enough young teams to be able to form a Middle School league (I'm thinking of a 4-tournament season with about a dozen robots in each event); and continue to have events open to all comers (similar to this last season).

Next season we need to come up with a scheme for determining an multi-event league winner (maybe a NASCAR-style point system?).

Folks,

The 2007-2008 PVL Schedule has been announced! There are many more events planned for this year than last.

There are two new Potomac Vex League threads started for the 2007-2008 FTC season.

The CD thread is here: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...729#post643729
Right now it only contains a pointer to the associated thread in the VexLabs Forum.

Does Lowes sell any gray ones? Are they found in the flooring section? I'm not seeing Softiles online at lowes.com.

MD, DC, PA and Virginia teams (anyone else if they don't mind long drives),

The Dec 8 PVL Tournament (Quad Quandary) scheduled for Westminster, MD has been moved to Woodlawn HS (west side of Baltimore) on Dec 15. The event will be held in cooperation with FTC 388 and FRC 768, and the College of Southern MD. It will be run much like the Battlefield event that was held Nov 17. The event is open to any team with a Quad Quandary-legal robot. FTC registration not required and there is no entry fee. Teams may participate with more than one robot. Every team will receive an award for participation.
