Re: [FRC Blog] Important Dates

Re: 2017 New York Regionals

Re: California District Proposal, Rev 2

I don't know what their justification was but as someone in MAR, I would strongly suggest against splitting the state. We have trouble getting funding from PA because not all PA students are allowed...

Re: Championship volunteer registration is beginning

If you can afford the time, there are normally teams that take a bus from the NYC area that you could ask for a seat with. That usually runs ~200$ depending on the size of the bus & how full it is. ...

Re: NY Districts - POA

As far as I am aware there is no hard-set rule against it but I don't think it is feasible. By having both a district model and a regional in the same area that means that you are relying on the...

Re: NY Districts - POA

This is definitely something that the RD's are aware of and solving this issue will not be as simple as anyone quite likes.

Re: What's Your Most Unusual Field Debris?

Re: What's Your Most Unusual Field Debris?

Easy, it wasn't there during inspection. During maintenance a team member left the tool in the robot and forgot about it.
