To all who may see Mainely Spirit, Maine's FIRST Robotics Competition want to watch? We have a uStream channel going live Friday Sept, 23 and Saturday Sept, 24! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/mainely-spirit :D

Is that before or after the field gets put up? :) "Hurry up missluce! We're live and you're nowhere near with the field!"

Re: Mainely SPIRIT, Maine's FIRST FRC Event!
 

Those of you who are coming, please let your mentors know about the Non-Engineering Mentor Organization (NEMO) meeting from 10am to noon (mentors can come and go as they need to). We'll be talking about any non-technical topic of interest to the group - from fundraising ideas to teambuilding to travel planning and everything in between.

I'm also holding a meeting for the pre-rookie team mentors at 9am. Rookie mentors from veteran teams are welcome to attend also! We'll do a season overview so everyone knows what to expect this year.

Room locations to be determined... check at the registration table for more info.

Re: Mainely SPIRIT, Maine's FIRST FRC Event!
 

First off, on behalf of everyone on Team 190, I would like to thank everyone who came to play on Saturday. We all had a lot of fun, despite leaving WPI at 0400!

Special thanks to team 58 who brought us a c-Rio from their shop after we thought ours was dead. You certainly deserved the "Wicked BFF" award.

A big thank you and congratulations to our alliance partners "3511", a pre-rookie from Maine. You guys did a fantastic job rocking the midfield, giving us plenty of space, time and tubes to score. We could not have won the event without you (which, incidentally, is why we picked you). Good luck this season!

Finally, a big thanks to team 2648 for hosting the event. It was very well run, and everyone on the team had a fantastic time! If you are in the northeast, you should seriously consider attending next year!

Re: Mainely SPIRIT, Maine's FIRST FRC Event!
 

It's a little sad that our "3511" prototype robot beat our "1153" competition robot, but it was fun to watch that li'l robot run around the field.

Sorry that no one told you which way was forward (and that it had a very active autonomous!) before the first match, or you wouldn't have gotten that penalty when it went running off to the wrong side.

I hope missluce and the rest of the 2648 team have recovered from the fun. You all did a lot of hard work to make this event fun!

Re: Mainely SPIRIT, Maine's FIRST FRC Event!
 

I guess that's what happens when we break the elevator and transmission, run out of batteries and overheat the driver station.

Thank you 2648 for running the event, and congratulations to 190 and 3511 (or whatever they'll be in January).

Re: Mainely SPIRIT, Maine's FIRST FRC Event!
 

Our Goal:
Jump start FRC participation in Maine. Currently there are only 7 active teams in our great state. We are confident that Maine can easily support 30 or more FRC Teams.

With this in mind, the event was a success.
Currently Maine has 11 teams registered. By the end of the week we hope to be at 12.
Thanks to everyone that made the trip up to Mainely Spirit!!!
