973 is considering either the Fall Classic or Calgames.

What will the cost be? That's the main factor.

The Fall Classic Committee will be meeting this week and this is one of the things we will be discussing. We needed some more information on costs before setting the entry fee.

As of our last meeting, we were thinking in the $100-200 range. We want it to be as low as possible and still cover costs.

CalGames is $450 (with a $100 volunteer-support deposit). More about registration here.

Its a big event (30 teams) and there are typically two gyms (one for the competition and one for the pits). BBQ, and totally awesome awards (engraved silicon wafers) included!

Sry to get off topic. I'd like to attend the Fall Classic, but I'm not sure if my team will be willing to drive that far.

Yeah, I already knew the calgames cost, and with the confirmed cost of $150 for fall classic, it's a no brainer as to which I'm recommending my team to attend.

Yes, that's what Team 980 is planning to do.

If there's a "Battle at the Border" (San Diego), we might do that too!

We really like to get good use out of our robots. These off-season events provide our new drivers with opportunities to get more competition experience, allows us to invite prospective students, mentors and sponsors to events and gives current mentors excuses for not getting household projects completed!:P

BTW, please feel free to ask any questions about the Fall Classic and/or indicate whether your team will be attending in this thread...

Hmm, nice entry fee and VERY convenient location. I don't know if my team's planning to attend any off-season events, but if we do this'll probably be the one. :D

973 will be attending and bringing two robots; Our 2008 competition bot, and a prototype 6 wheel to exhibit/possibly fill in for missing teams (if the event organizers allow it).

For those that have not heard, there won't be a Battle at the Border this year. Maybe next year.

FRC 1726 from Sierra Vista, AZ, is planning on making the trip with 3 vans full of new members :); we're basically attending our first offseason event specifically to draw students in until build season, at least, where they will succumb to the greatness of FIRST!

Hope to see everyone there!

PS: Is there a rough count of teams signed up so far?
