Could you post the updated team list please?:D

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

Aww man, all of the newbies are in for quite a surprise. Most of them haven't even seen the robot yet. And the evil sunday should turn some stomachs. I think we should have a freshman policy. That should be their initiation!

UPDATE-

we will be AGAIN offering a Guitar Hero Tournament at BE8. Last year the event was so popular the team wants to repeat.

Players will register for a time slot in the morning as they arrive. They will compete at times throughout the day.

The finals will be played on the big screen in our commons.(really neat last year)

Winners get a portion of the registration pot and a trophy.

More details to be announced as they crystallize

(BTW- we are up to 25 teams as of today- we top out in 11 more- register now)

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

This will be one heck of an off-season event!!
^_^

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

Side Events at BE8 and a few changes

with 6 weeks to go here are a few of the things in the works

a. FTC side tourney- I am not sure if it will be this or last season's game. Either is possible and that is up to the FTC moguls in our region. Vince will tell us.

b. Beta Test Team Workshops- I've spoken to both 103 (Labview) and 1089 (Java) about hosting control system workshops. It looks very likely for both but they are awaiting their control systems.

c. Evil Sundae Contest- as before- 1 rep per team can gobble for the trophy. Bring your Pepto . Any (SAFE) suggestions what would make them especially Evil?

d. Guitar hero Tournament- individuals register in the morning for a time slot. Players duel it out for a trophy and portion of the registration pot. Finals play on the giant screen in mid -Commons

e- Awards ceremony split up- we will have some of the trophies awarded right after lunch. The tournament winners will award in the end. Should help teams eliminated and traveling far.

f. Rules changes- we wont penalize you for high scoring.


27 teams as of today. I am invoicing tonight. We can take a few more... The event is coming together

You dont want to miss it.

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

I'm sorry we won't be able to make it this year.
Being it's Halloween we have a conflicting event. We're the main attraction at Safe Halloween for our town's wee goblins.

We'll be back next year though!

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

If Team 1986's robot is there, we are all done for... :)

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

1.5" cubes of butter - texturally gross when wet/cold
Caramels - takes time to chew when cold, can't easily swallow whole - but admittedly could be a choking hazard.
Potted meat - or maybe those pork brains in milk gravy (definitely not kosher)
Mealworms or insects? Would PETA complain if they were alive? (Maybe removing those real scorpions from their lollipop shell and putting them on top?)

That's enough for now, I think.:yikes:

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

Don-

the pork brains in gravy look like a good possibility- thanks. I need to get mint ice cream to go with it.

BTW- Insect products and recipes are available from Fluker Farms in La.
I actually have a poster from them over my desk saying "We Sell Flukers Feeder Insects". They wouldn't let me hang it in the cafeteria for some reason.....

(and now I am REALLY glad I didnt eat the pie in the contest at Pascack Pandamonium)

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

As we get closer to BE8 I have some news for all involved and the FIRST community

1. as of today we are up to 29 teams. We max out at 36. Act now if you plan to attend. All teams have been invoiced by e-mail and many have paid their registrations.

2. Food Drive- this past year our team has "adopted" the North Brunswick Food Bank . This summer the team renovated the facility and painted it. Over the past few weekends we collected hundreds of canned goods at the entrances of the local markets. And the team has put in hundreds of man hours working for the bank.

Now we call on our BE8 teams. We will offer a special tiki to the team that brings the greatest number of non- perishable food items to BE8. Teams attending the workshops and not playing can participate too. Consider canned goods your ticket to the workshops.
(cans of coffee get a triple count score!!!!!- they are the hardest donation to get and much sought by the families)

Nearly 400 families in our town rely on the food bank. And the holidays are coming!!

3. Workshops- aside from the two Beta Test expo workshops, we will offer a range of workshops in both FTC and FRC areas, these being offered by a diverse group of teams and adult leadership. Topics will be sent to the teams as we crystallize them but our event will mimic the FRC events that precede the Championships.

Thats all for now. We are working hard to make sure that this event is a lot of fun. Dont miss it!!
