Re: FRC Kickoff
 

Last year, we went to the Georgia Institute of Technology for the local kick-off. From there, we pick up our stuff, read the rules in the car on iphones, and make a bee line back to the school.

This year, the county school board is taking a greater interest in robotics. Along with doubling their current donations, they would like the teams in the area to get together and host a local kick-off. We will still have roughly 3 representatives present at GA Tech to pick up the parts.

Yeah, that would take awhile. (about 24 hours :yikes: ) I think we will just use CD to get some pictures.

Re: FRC Kickoff
 

Does anyone know which NASA Channel the Kickoff will be on?

I am trying to get the information to our school media center so that we can watch the kickoff in HD instead of from the webcast.

There appear to be 4 channels:

Public, Education, Media & Space Operations Mission Directorate

Based on the descriptions, I would guess the broadcast would be on either the Public or Education channels, but I have not been able to find a schedule for January yet .

1. I still like the billiards game:

2. We host a miniature kickoff in a big conference center at our sponsor's place of business and try to get some local teams to join us. We watch the presentation on NASA TV and usually demo some of our old robots for our sponsors. After that, it's a week of (polite) arguing about different ideas for hours on end.

1. Not even worth guessing without hint.
2. The small section of our team willing to get up early will go to the local kickoff. On monday, we all start yelling ideas and rough concepts for 10 minutes, then watch the video several times for anyone who hasn't seen it, then go back to blurting out ideas.

1.) The game was brought to me in a dream,... so i just ran with it,. lol

2.) countless hours of brainstorming and vicious prototyping

Re: FRC Kickoff
 

Our team goes to Kettering to watch the feed. We usually get a room their and brainstorm, take measurements and eat pizza. We then usually go either home or back to my house to go at it again. We have everybody keep a small journal of thoughts that pop into their heads until Monday.

Things are going to be a little different this year. I graduate that day. So who knows what we will do.

As far as the game goes, not even going to try and guess because every year i am way off
