Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

968 will be attending with new students driving/operating. :)

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

The Holy Cows will be coming up with an improved Daisy II and a new set of drivers. :cool:

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

We currently have 11 teams signed up for the Fall Classic. They include some of the finest teams on the West Coast. It will definitely be difficult to call this one in advance. The teams registered as of yesterday are:

294 Beach Cities Robotics - 2001 World Champs
330 BeachBots - 2005 World Champs
692 Fembots - One of the best all-girl teams around
968 RAWC - part of a famous collaboration with the Cheesy Poofs, they have an awesome machine, as always
973 Greyhound Revolutionary Robotics - They supposedly have a new mechanism designed to compete with the best. Will it work? come and find out
980 Thunderbots - Their ball placement aparatus didn't work out so well during the season, but they played pretty impressive defense. They have been working over the summer. What have they been up to?
981 Snowbotics - Always a unique robot
1070 Royal Robotrons - another all-girl team, they have become more competitive in the past couple of years
1538 Holy Cows - The best robot from the San Diego area. They always have a solid reliable robot that looks really nice. They have also been working over the summer, improving a machine that was already pretty good.
2150 Wicked Wobotics - an up and coming sophmore team
2404 TNT - These guys and girls are committed (or maybe they should be?) Not every rookie team starts off with a holonomic drive and then goes on to host an off-season event. Definitely a team to watch.

Disagree with any of the above? bring a robot out and prove your point! Better yet bring two, the second one is half price. If your team is a 2009 rookie please contact me and we will try and hook you up with a spare robot, FREE!

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

I think 1726 signed up about 9:30 PM yesterday! Hope to see you all there.

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

That was after the latest report we have, so I'm glad to hear it. Maybe you can get Kingman or 39 to come too?

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

We'll also be competing with two robots :rolleyes:

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

woah thatll be nice, sorry i cant go. Will it be broadcasted for the travel challenged?

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

I can't think of a single time offhand that an SCRRF event has been webcasted. I'm sure that if it is, the info will be posted here. I'd like a webcast too...

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

Unfortunately, there is no internet available in the main gymnasium. The building is somewhat remote from the main campus buildings. No webcast this year :( .

I would have liked to have MorTorq (1515, Beverly Hills HS) do the webcast production. Their off-field antics can be pretty entertaining.

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

Some of the members of team 4 will be attending and we were wondering if you have need of some volunteers. If so can someone link me the page to sign people up to it? Thanks and best of luck to everyone.

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

Arthur,

We would love to have Team 4 attend. While you are welcome as volunteers, we would really like to have you compete as well. If money is an issue let me know, a limited number of "scholarships" are available. If getting your robot there is a problem, let us know that too. We might be able to make arrangements to bring it with the field. We might even be able to help with "administration" issues with enough notice.

To volunteer, contact our volunteer co-ordinator Lauren Halatek, at halatekl@yahoo.com.

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

Thanks so much for the offer, and if it was up to me i would gladly accept, ill see if i can set anything up and ill be sure to get back to you, but i'm not sure because right now we are trying to recruit as many freshmen as we can, and seeing as our school has about 300 people (120 or so freshman, yea its a lot for us:) ), we are trying to get as many people as we can, so we are really trying to focus on recruiting. Thank you for the offer, and team 4 members will definitely be there.

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

Off-season competitions are a great way to introduce new team members to FIRST.

We can add another team to the list. The well traveled 1138, who went to Hawaii and NZ this summer helping them get up to speed, signed up earlier this week. I just found out this morning.

Re: Fall Classic - Southern California
 

Classical Academy High School is starting a team this year. It would be GREAT to get them up there for this even even just to watch! But to actually use a robot?! What do we have to do for this?
