166 will be there, and as usual, you can always come and ask us for help with anything Mech, C++, or (maybe) Labview related.
Zuelu562, that sounds like an awesome idea! I'd definitely participate, if my team would give our software team enough time with the robot that we can finish our code...

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

Haha, sounds like our team, at least we have a practice board to make sure code works how we want it to (for now). We're not even close to being ready to set up the actual electronics on the robot (scary).

Once we get past Bag let's get some programmers together from the regional and organize it.

Side note: In case you didn't see it, since GSR is a Bag event, we can drop off our robots on Wednesday.

Going to be checking with the regional director about pit setup on Wednesday.

Team 1831 will be attending :D Im so excited to see everyone again :3

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

Hey there! I'm a senior on HYPER (69) but it'll be my first time up at GSR. I have a few friends who have been there who said it's great, so I can't wait to get there. See you all there!

And to the person who was talking about an informal programmer social, I would agree that would be pretty cool xD

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

TPNigl, like I told Matt from 166 let's butt heads about getting the programmer's social together after bag. I think we've all got more than enough on our collective plates at the moment. Also, send me a PM, I have a question for you about the photosensors on the field.

Also, about Bag Drop off, I've been hearing rumblings about NOT being able to set up pits on Wednesday Night Drop-Off, be aware.

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

176 will be back at BAE this year, after a 4 season hiatus from the event. We're all looking forward to a great competition :)

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

For the Excellence in 3d Animation competition, we have 166 (Chop Shop), 1519 (Mechanical Mayhem), 58 (Riot Crew), 811 (Cardinals), 562 (S.P.A.R.K.) and 95 (Grasshoppers) competing this year! Good luck to all 6 of us!

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

Does anyone have a copy of a schedule for the event?

Thanks!

So excited for GSR 2011! Cannot wait to compete and see everyones solution to Logomotion! Just gotta get used to those backwards logos from the driver station...

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

1073 will be there again! While several of us were scouting at Week 0 yesterday, our problems from Unveiling were fixed!

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

This is the official stance. From the email sent to GSR attending teams by Brian Belley:

It is permissible to bring the bagged robot in Thursday morning at 7:45 for the same inspection, if you really can't make it Wednesday night. If a lot of teams elect to do this it will result in a lot of delayed unbaggings, so I'm really hoping teams take advantage of Wednesday night. Also at this time teams will be allowed to send in up to 5 team members to unbag the robot (assuming it has passed bag/tag compliance) and load in any pit equipment. At 8:30 the main doors will open and the rest of the teams and spectators can enter.

So, short answer is: Wednesday night is for dropping the robot off only. Anything else, including opening the bag, is verboten.

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

Why not kill two birds with one stone though? Let teams simply drop off equipment in the pits and not touch it. What are the other BnT regionals doing Wednesday night?

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

I wish they did that too! Even if it was one load of stuff on Wednesday night since Thursday morning can be a pain with only three people for an entire pit!

Re: 2011 BAE Granite State Regional
 

Does anyone know if GSR will be webcasted? 254 and 1868 were hoping to use video from there to train our rookie scouts, but the regional website doesn't say anything.

Thanks!
