WoOt! Can't wait for BE this year. It'll be great training for the underclassmen like me. Hopefully the juniors (seniors in the Fall) will be ready for BE7 after they go through PARC and Pascack PANDA-monium.:)
See you all there! |

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
Just wondering, if we wanted to redo our 05 base to accommodate a simple lapper/herder would that be legal by BE standards regardless of the wedge rule?
Picture of base in question:   Just wondering b/c I have a team in mind. Please let me know. |

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
BE 7 Update-
Right now we have 33 teams signed up for BE 7 on November 1 and we still have room for a few more. All the teams listed below have been sent invoices and we are receiving registrations and confirmations daily. We request all attending teams settle up by October 1 and /or contact me if their attendance status changes. We know a few will not make it. A few e-mails have been kicking back. This event will be one of the craziest off season events ever. The day will include: 1. the FRC Tournament- FIRST Overdrive with a few widely accepted rules modifications to make the game less penalty prone and more fun. 2. FTC exhibition games- promotion of the upcoming NJ seasonal events and Snow Day Showdown tourney 3. Guitar-Hero Tournament- sign up for your slot in the morning, 5 games running- all day- high score winner announced at closing ceremonies. Bring your favorite game guitar too. We already have 65 definite and 154 unconfirmed competitors. 4. Evil Sundaes Contest- this was a smash hit last year. So we have come up with even more "evil" ideas for this years contest. Every team puts up a Champion. Every team may take home the tiki. Bring your own championship spoon. We supply the barf bag. 5. Big prize raffle- one prize, something neat- something valuable Once again we are only able to hold BE 7 through the generous support of NASA and Rob Thate with the NASA field As in the past we will hold our 50/50 to benefit the Mike Wade Memorial Scholarship Fund. The teams on the list so far 11 MORT Flanders, NJ 25 Raider Robotix North Brunswick, NJ 56 Robbe Extreme Bound Brook, NJ 75 Roboraiders Hillsborough, NJ 87 RVR Mt.

Oh- BTW- if you happen to be in North Brunswick on Sept 27th why not come to our school for the first Raider Robotix Strong Man Competition. Strong men and women from across the region will compete to see who can lift the most, move the huge masses and vie for muscle supremacy. (I only hope the student reset crew can handle this!!!) Another bizarre fund raiser from Raider Robotix..... WC :cool: |

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
Now that it's really the school year, I cannot WAIT for it to be November so that Brunswick Eruption can come around! 1923 is very excited to play Overdrive one last time!

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
The BE7 signup list has reached 40 and we are preparing to close registrations. If you are seriously considering you should register now. I anticipate 3 of the list to not follow through (IE: I haven't heard any response to e-mails since last spring). Many of the teams are paid and ready to go (we requested an Oct. 1 payment deadline).
Soooo- the time to act is now. Side events- 1. FTC exhibition tourney 2. Guitar hero Tournament 3. Evil Sundae Contest 4. Display of the new control system courtesy of Cybersonics team 103 This event will be huge!! WC:cool: |
Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
Will FIRST allow 103 to present the control system? didn't they have to sign a release of some kind?

Plus, I don't think the presentation will be revealing anything about the base code. That's what they're not allowed to release right? |
Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
I am pretty sure our good friends at 103 are very aware of the legalities and will do things the right way.We need not worry about that. I know FIRST intended for teams with control systems to demonstrate and train other teams and 103 is certainly putting in the effort. I will be happy to see the new control system.

Re: Brunswick Eruption 7 Nov 1 ,2008
