I think we plan on starting between 9:00 and 9:30, but I'll double check that.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

how are the registrations going? are we full up on teams ready to go back into overdrive?

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

When are you expecting to have the finalized competition information?

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Team 178, The 2nd Law Enforcers from Farmington, CT will be there! We are excited to attend.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

I'm really excited to see so many of our Connecticut teams in one place!

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

I haven't heard about the admissions to date, but our advisor said the competition is on as long as we have at least 12 teams, and I'm fairly sure we hit that benchmark a while ago.

You know, now that Saunders has pretty much been moved to a future date to be determined, New York teams will be looking for a somewhat local competition to compete in. What's the max capacity at Wolcott?

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

I believe they're looking for a perfect 24 teams, but I don't know if they're taking more or not.

Either way, I'm glad to see that more teams we know might be coming!

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

e-mail Ted Martin at max1071frc@gmail.com and he can let you know how many spots are available. Our advisor didn't want to go over 24 for the first year, but I'm sure if enough teams register, we might be able to take more.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Do you happen to have an updated list of the teams competing?

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

There is a list of the currently registered teams here on the Max 1071 website, as well as a schedule of events and lunch menu.

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

It's been confirmed, we are holding a NEMO meeting from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Where is Wolcott? Invitational. Open to all adult/college mentors from all FIRST programs; come and go as you need to. Room location TBD (check with the registration desk). We'll have a general discussion of non-technical topics unless someone prefers a focused session on a particular topic - like communicating with your community, communicating with your team, giving presentations to a potential sponsor, teambuilding exercises, team organization, fundraisers, dumpster diving (finding free stuff), planning travel, etc. - e-mail me at kathiek (at) firstnemo (dot) org if you'd like a focused session.

I'd love to see some new faces; please share this with your teams' mentors!

Team Max attended the Mayhem in Merrimack invitational yesterday (which was excellent, by the way!) and got the field home and our questions answered. Things are really shaping up for the coming weekend, and it should be a lot of fun! Any questions can still be answered here, or by contacting one of our mentors. Don't be afraid to ask (or to get unreasonably excited :D ).

Less than 1 week until the Where's Wolcott Invitational!!!


Is everyone pumped? I know I am

Re: "Where is Wolcott? Invitational" 14th June
 

Of course we are! This is also my last FIRST event as a high school member of team 1124... so it's mixed emotions. I'm sure it will be a great way to end my high school FIRST experiences, though. Our team is bringing some of our graduating eighth graders who are interested in robotics and guiding them through what the team is like, since current members agree that the way to get hooked is through a competition. I can't wait!
