Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event
 

Will it be webcast again?

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event
 

I will ask.

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event
 

Bill, do you need volunteers for setup (on Friday evening) or field reset or queing or anything like that Saturday during the competition?
Let me know! I'll be up in the area (in Springfield, MA Friday night) & also I'll be there Saturday in Suffield for the competition as well.
Thanks!

When are you NOT near a FIRST event?:ahh:

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event
 

Very rarely it seems. lol :yikes:
I'll be crashing up at WNEC that night so I'm there bright & early at Suffield for some fun (and of course some scouting & general info gathering) on Saturday.

It's good when you have friends who let you crash nearby to FIRST events though - it helps the overall attendance count rack up! :)

I think they were looking for scorers. Unfortunately tomorrow is Wednesday during build season and which is our meeting night and guess what it is going to do. SSSSNNNNOOOOOWWWWW it is build season and it is a Wednesday so of course it is going to snow. When there is no school we can not have meetings. I will try to find out what they need for help. I am sure we are all set for setup because the FIRST people usually come down from Manchester to learn how to setup field.
I hate snow.:confused: :mad: :(

Didn't ask, but I got a preview of the event press release and it includes info about the web cast:

"A live webcast of this event will be provided by the Shelton Gaelhawks robotics team and can be accessed through www.shsrobotics.org <http://www.shsrobotics.org> ."

I think everyone will be interested to find out how the new Field Management System performed.

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event
 

You know, this is (currently) my only free weekend in February... maybe I'll see if MIT can live without me for a weekend and venture home to the Shakedown. I'd like to come see everyone!

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event
 

Bob or Bill,
Is there any word on if any positions are available for volunteering or is there someone I can contact for more info???
Thanks.

Re: Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage Pre-Season Event
 

Yes, Team 230 will be providing the webcast of the event again (as noted it can be accessed through our website www.shsrobotics.org).

I would also like to thank Aces High for including our request for teams to help us restock the Shelton High School Food Bank by bringing donations to the scrimmage. As most of you already know there was a fire at Shelton High only a few days before the FRC season kick-off which kept our school closed for an additional week after the winter break. Unfortunately, in addition to the damage done to the building which has now been repaired, ALL of the food bank supplies (which were stored at the school) had to be thrown out due to fire, smoke, and water damage. :ahh:

We thought that it we could help by appealing to our friends within the FIRST community to help us replenish those supplies which are provided to those in need within our school community. :D Thank you all for your support.

See you in Suffield...
