Re: Duel on the Delaware is HERE!
The bus is getting packed (and I mean packed) tonight. We have to include Chuck, his 'med kit', and a few people along with some books. (No, we're not going to outdo last year.)
The local libraries were 'booked-out', so we went to the Wyoming Valley area and tapped the Back Mountain Memorial Library for some help. We do have a small contribution...nowhere near last year's record breaker. We're takinng off at 3:30 AM on Saturday and we'll be ready to DUEL. |

Whoa. Looks like a real early morning for you guys. Looking forward to having the Chuck-ster at the Duel again this year. Safe travels. |
Re: Duel on the Delaware is HERE!
Uh...folks, I may have lied yesterday when I posted...
We have a few more books than I thought. No, we're not outdoing last year. That's for sure! But we may do a ton. I'm going on volume alone, not weight. My team members have been very busy getting donations! |
Re: Duel on the Delaware is HERE!
14 hours and 8 minutes until Dawgma jumps on the bus.
Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow! -Chuck |
Re: Duel on the Delaware is HERE!
The playing field has been up since 9:30am this morning. Scoring system and electronics have been checked. Team banners and team number carpet tiles are in place. Sound system is loud. Concessions are snuggled all nice in their stand. Tubes are inflated.
The Duel is ready for action. CU Tomorrow! |

Re: Duel on the Delaware is HERE!
Thanks to all the volunteers for your efforts and teams for your support. Also, a big thanks to NASA, Salem Community College, and DuPont.
We hope everyone enjoyed the day, watched some great FRC matches, got to see Quad Quandary in action, saw the Wilmington Police Department's explosive disposal bot, got a free can of Red Bull, and interacted with some amazing FIRST people. Congrats to ... The Duel 2007 Champions - 1647, 357, and 555! Mike Wade Duel Master Volunteer Award Winner - Ron Karpinski Success Won't Wait Book Drive Winner - Chuck 84, Runner up - Team 423 PPPAfrica Show Drive #1 contributor - MOE 365, Runners up - 316 (can someone help me remember other runner up - 836?) "Devilishly Hot" Spirit Award - Team 87 "Keeper in the Sky" Award - Team 708 Also, thanks to Wayne Penn, our emcee, Ron Taminelli - NASA - for providing the playing field, Pete Kieselbach, for being our FIRST Technical Mentor, and Bob Dudek - DuPont - for being the Duel Planning Committee Lead. Lots of other folks to thank. Too tired right now. See you all at some of the other upcoming events - Brunswick Eruption and Ramp Riot. |
Re: Duel on the Delaware is HERE!
Duel was just AMAZING!!! And I had a blast.
Thank you to Team 365 and 316 for hosting this awesome event =) I'll post my link to my photos as soon as they finish uploading. Oh Mr. Moe himself has been videotaped dancing at The Duel... and it was amazing and makes me laugh every time :rolleyes: I shall put that up too :D |
Re: Duel on the Delaware is HERE!
First, here's to all the volunteers and teams 365 & 316 for hosting such a fun and smoothly ran event!
For many of our freshmen, the Duel was their first FIRST event, and I'm pretty sure that they're hooked. A big thanks to all teams for some great matches - the semifinals were particularly exciting! It was also great to finally have been able to play with 375, 708, and 836, whereas we had previously always been on opposing alliances at the NJ Regional. The rack remained stationary throughout the day (except for when a pileup of robots moved it significantly during eliminations and it had to be rotated back to its standard position), so although there was no new autonomous incentive, there was an increase in the number of keepers scored during the competition. [Although we still got lucky a couple times when our keeper flipped down from the middle row and landed on the bottom spider. (Photo courtesy of dhoizner)] ;) For those unable to attend, the alliances were: 1. 836, 375, 1727 2. 222, 1712, 708 3. 25, 365, 1719 4. 768, 341, 316 5. 1647, 357, 555 6. 423, 75, 816 7. 84, 87, 709 8. 1089, 1640, 539 Results: 8 beats 1 5 beats 4 2 beats 7 3 beats 6 5 beats 8 3 beats 2 5 beats 3 As always, it was great to catch up with old friends and make new ones. Hope to see all of you again at Brunswick Eruption/Ramp Riot! |
