Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Plenty of people wear stuff on all levels of formality, you'll be fine no matter what you show up in.

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

We say semi-formal but it's really whatever is easiest for you.
Also we will be selling presale tickets in our pit on Thursday for $15 and we are in Newton Division. If you don't get a chance to come to our pit before we leave we will be selling tickets at the door for $20.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there and if you could email or team at Team399@gmail.com to let us know how many you think will attend from your team that would be fabulous.

Thank You,
Lindsay and Team 399

Re: RoboProm 2010

Is it just me or does anyone else keep getting shocked by the title of this thread popping up on the portal. I am mildly dyslexic and my brain keeps reversing the "o" and the "r" and then confusing the "m" for an "n

I am just asking...

From In The Mix USA (Your DJ) for Robo Prom 2010

I want to allow anyone attending this years Robo Prom 2010 the ability to request your favorite song before the event starts. Remember that a request does not guarantee that it will be played. Make sure the songs you are requesting are dancable songs. Obscure songs will not be played. Songs with profanity will not be played. If I have the clean version I will play it. We will mix this year.

Email all requests to: rewhite@inthemixusa.com

Submit your name, team number, team name, artist and song title.

SEE YOU AT THE PROM IN A FEW DAYS!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Is profanity defined "FCC Style" (seven dirty words), or does it include other things?

I'll send some requests soon! I wonder if there is any clean Chiddy Bang...

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Hi Everyone!

Team 1073 would love to attend RoboProm 2010! Where can we get more information (we'd need the times, where it is, etc. and how to pre-order)? Also, if some people wanted to wear their actual prom attire from previous years, would that be out of the ordinary? What is the expected dress code, even though there really is none.

Thanks so much! Somebody please get back to me ASAP seeing that Atlanta is this week! My e-mail is genevieveb12@gmail.com!!!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Actually, sorry for the redundancy! I totally spaced over the multiple pages of posts/replies so my questions are mostly answered! Just to confirm though, we simply shoot over an e-mail to you (Team 399) with an estimate on the number of people and then pay $15 per person in your pit area at Atlanta? (We're in Newton as well, so it should be easy!)???

Thanks!!!!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Yes that is all you have to do. We will have representatives walking around letting everyone know about RoboProm too. Just make sure to purchase your tickets at our pit so that you get the tickets for $15, other wise it is $20 at the door.

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Rene,
See you there as I have a few I need to chaperone.
The rest will be prepping for CA interviews and no drive team members allowed to stay out late.

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Glenn,

I'm glad you'll be there! I am going to be filling up on coffee since we are taking a red eye on Wednesday night :P Our drive team will be sent home early from the event so as not to stay out late too :P

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

What time does it end? Just so our coach doesn't flip out if we come walking in at 12am:rolleyes:

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

I believe it ends at 11pm.

If you're in a downtown hotel you should have no issue being back by 11:30 or so.

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

You guys should definitely be careful walking back. Make sure you have some adults with you. It gets a little sketchy at night.

I saw that 2265 is going so, all we need is 694 and we can have a NYC Regional reunion! :)

see you there!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

We would definitely love that! :D

Hope we can convince a few StuyPulse members to come!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Has anyone heard from them about it?

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Team 3411 will be attending in full force! Watch out for furious fistpumping!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

No but I will for the right price.

BTW that was posted by one of our girls from my account.

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Hey everyone,

I've been answering all the emails for RoboProm and there are a few common questions I thought I'd post on here.

Q: Are chaperons free?
A: We are trying to keep all of our rules/requirements the same as last year so yes, chaperons are free. However, this is meant to be helpful for those parents/mentors/advisors that are there to chaperon (not that we don't expect them to dance, because we certainly do!), not a discount for non-team members.

Q: How long does the event last?
A: Doors open at 7pm and close at 11pm. We are assuming that most teams will have groups large enough to walk back to their hotel at 11. If not, please make sure you have some sort of chaperon or get together with another team to walk to the Marta.

Q: At what time exactly does the price increase to $20?
A: The price is $15 all day Thursday and will only increase to $20 if you are purchasing tickets at the event.

Q: "We will be traveling from the Marriot Marquis. Do you have Marta information it looks like we go south towards Underground Atlanta, do you know the name of the stop?" (This was a specific question from a mentor and I'm sure other teams are staying here.)
A: Yes, you can take the Marta from the Georgia Dome or from most hotels (Marriot is definitely one of those). Take the Marta from the Peachtree Center station to the Five Points Station.


By the way, thus far, 32 teams have sent us an RSVP. How cool! If your email hasn't been answered for some reason, send another with RoboProm in the subject line. They tend to disappear...

Hope this helps!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Team 365 is very excited about attending the Roboprom!!! :) See you all there!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

I have some good news and some bad news.

First the bad news...
I will not be making an amazing roboprom dress out of field matierials. This is because I will not be attending robo prom this year. In fact, I will not be in Atlanta this year.

Now the good news...
I was awarded with the honor of being the Delaware New Century Scholar. The award ceremony takes place during championships in Seattle, Washington. Thus is why I am not attending roboprom nor championships.

Have fun everyone and good luck to all the teams going!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Reported.

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

Very cool! Congratulations!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

roboprom was the best thing in atlanta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and i had great time so thanx !!!:D

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

The kids on Team 341 had a great time. Thanks again to the students and mentors of Team 399 for putting this together.
It is very important to have fun activities like the Robo-Prom when you travel. Not only is it something fun to do, but it actually helps with recruiting and retention. The kids come back to school from the Championship telling their friends, just how much fun they had at robotics.
Nice event! Good times!

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

I was only there for about 15 minutes this year, so I can't honestly evaluate the event, but having to walk so close to a Tea Party was not one of my favorite things to do. Hopefully next year the Omni won't fill up right away so that these long walks can be avoided.

Re: RoboProm 2010
 

2010 was my first time going to RoboProm and I had a blast. Thanks to everyone from 399 that had a hand in putting it on!

(Btw, my Senior Prom date was offended because I said "RoboProm, More fun than regular prom) :P
