What time do volunteers need to show up?

Re: CAGE Match - October 25 - Indianapolis
 

We'll be setting up Friday at 6p - if you could make it then that'd be great but if not we understand; on Saturday doors will open at 7a with qualification matches starting at 9. So if you could be there 7:30 or so that'd be cool. I'm sure Stuart Bloom would like to meet with the referees before comp. starts.

I can probably be there to help set up Friday night if you still need it. Not sure what I can do for you, but I won't have anything going on that night.

The CAGE Match yesterday was a great event. 16 Indiana teams got together and had a great time. It was a fantastic event for new students to see what a FIRST Event was all about. It gave us the opportunity to get 5 new student drivers involved, rotating them between driver positions between matches. Seeing is believing.

All the teams played great. Thank you CYBERCARDS and DIGITAL GOATS for putting on the event and to all the volunteers for all your hard work.

Congragulations to the Kil-a-bytes and Red Alert on winning the event. Thank you Technokats for allying with our team. We had a great time and made a great run.

Congratulations to all the teams. It was a great learning experience.

Thanks to 1501 for joining us in the upset of the #4 alliance and giving the #1 alliance a run for their money.

THANK YOU to all the volunteers from many teams across the state. Hillary Clinton wrote "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child" but it practically takes a whole state to host a Robotics tournament. As with all first-time events, there are certainly lessons to be learned. Please give me feedback so if this becomes an annual occasion, the CAGE Match may join the long list of respected offseason events.

Thanks guys, Great job on your part in the elimination rounds too. I thought about it, and now i kind of wish i would have drivin underneath you guys when you flipped, and then brought up our forks so that we could have uprighted you guys. It would have been a cool spectacle, and we would have had the points from 2 robots driving laps...

oh well though. there is always next season, plus we put up a really good fight in both elimination rounds.
