Seconded. There's a number of us on 1676 who are interested, and have never been...$20 sounds reasonable. Now time to convince the coach to let us go and wait for the details. When will we need to know exact #'s?

What we've done in the past is just you can preorder tickets for some price, then when you show up in atlanta we'll deliver/you pick up the tickets for that price (we'll have a list of everyone who ordered before hand). Then we'll also sell tickets at the door (for a slightly higher price), so if someone decides to go last minute, they can always get in then.

So in short, just have a general idea sometime before Atlanta and you're good to go!

On another note, sounds like two all girl teams coming so far. We should work on getting them a discount or something. :rolleyes:

It started two years ago, when our schools prom coincided with Atlanta. Our seniors on the team couldn't really handle missing prom, so we decided to just throw our own. Not as formal, but twice as fun.

We basically just rent out a room for a night, get a DJ, some punch, get hundreds of robotics kids together, and dance/mingle for the night. It's been a blast the past two years, hope you guys can make it!

Sounds like a lot of fun! I think I'll try and get my team there, but I can't make any guarantees. We're working hard just to get the money to get out there, but I'll definitely bring this up with my coach.

Also, love the idea of discounting all girls teams. Basic club economics right? ;)

Re: Robo-Prom 2009

Due to team issues I wasn't able to do it last year. can someone e-mail me some information?

Is it a formal attire thing or is it just a bunch of people go to a hotel and dance?

Re: Robo-Prom 2009

People come in jeans and a t-shirt, or in semi-formal attire! So anything goes.

Ideally though it would be semi-formal, with girls in cocktail dresses and guys in slacks and collard shirts.

I'll probably start a new thread so all the main info is in one spot, I will post in this thread with a link to the new thread, however.

Re: Robo-Prom 2009

HORRAY! Team 1675 didn't go to Atlanta last year- so I was really depressed that I missed Roboprom, but it looks like it's in our hotel this year, and we have a bunch of team members going! (about 12 or so) I'd pay between $10-20. Thank you for planning the event.

This is so cool. I was in the Marriot last year so I barely had to leave my room; now I'm in the Omni and it's... moved. :D

Needless to say I'm super excited.

can we do a mentor's party afterwords? (im just kidding, but that would be cool)

Ha ha ha. Mentors party sounds good to me :P

lemme know if you guys can work something out. I really think it would be a good way for the mentors to relax after a hard day's (Thursday's...ahhh) work. Plus it would clear our minds for the event Friday/Saturday.

If there are enough mentors of course.
