This is going to be an awesome event - "shaking down" the new FRC game! And I'm excited about our FTC scrimmage as well! AND FLL there, too? Woot! A smorgasbord of FIRST! Invite your policiticans, invite your school administrators, aunts, uncles, grandparents and neighbors!

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

Kathy is right, get your politicans now! John Burns and I taped the module we are presenting live at Kick Off workshops (entitled "Deans Homework", coming soon to a website near you) last week and one of the things we stress is contacting your State and Federal Congressmen and Senators, Mayors, school boards memebers, city councilors, any and every politician and GET THEM TO AN EVENT. Do you want supprot from these people? (support = money or just them not saying no to whatever you want to do) Show them where you shine, at an event.

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

Wow, in less then 24 hours we had 11 teams express an interest in attending.

Warning: There are only 30 team openings.

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

Matt, who can I contact to be able to volunteer on the field at this event? (I'd prefer field reset if possible.)
I'm signed up in TIMS for official events, but don't think that applies here.
If someone can get back to me about this I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

Wow.
It's almost filled up already.
That's impressive.
Actually that's N.E.R.D.S. for you.

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

Aces has put on this top-notch event as long as I can remember. It's quite a schlep to get to, but it's worth it! The lessons learned from seeing FRC robots play for the first time are invaluable.

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

What do you mean, "Quite a schlep". It's right around the corner! :D

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

Suffield Shakedown not only will have the FRC scrimmage of "Overdrive" but also an FTC scrimmage of "Quad Quandary", a demo by FLL, and a special area for younger folk hosted by DreamFIRST!

Spots for the FTC scrimmage are also limited so contact me if your FTC team would like to sign up. And we can use a few volunteers also!

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

Good News: The event is filled within two days.:cool:
Bad News : No play time for the rookie teams.:(

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

If one of the nearby rookies wants to attend, we will make room for them!

If anyone has contact with rookies in Western Mass or Vermont let them know about the scrimmage.

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

Please share with your mentors (especially new ones): if anyone is interested in attending a NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) meeting at the Suffield Shakedown, please contact me ASAP so I can reserve a room.

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage
 

Rats, didn't even have time to bring it up with the team yet. :( Oh well, there's other events...
