Okay, so I try to avoid posting directly under my own posts, but it's been a month.
A few things I can confirm now (which have mostly been posted on scriw.org):
Pre-rookie and B-team discounts If you enter as usual and bring a pre-rookie team and robot, the pre-rookies will compete for free as space allows (and we will try our best to make sure it will). If you want to bring a B-team instead (more of your own team's kids versus the beginnings of a new team), they can compete half price (a total of $450 for both teams) if space permits after the regular teams and pre-rookies. We will be looking for bumpers on these robots, particularly on the corners, but we understand if your 2007 robot has an open front. Do what you can.
Refereeing I've got a handshake commitment from seven-year Palmetto head ref Terrell Burch to bring his skills to SCRIW. Train your newbie drivers well.
Registration is open, though we're not quite ready to take your money yet. (The perils of two separate school districts working together...) Visit
http://scriw.org/team-registration-form/ to sign up; we'll contact you once we've got that sorted out. (Forms are also online if you're interested in volunteering or giving a quick workshop about basically anything FRC-related. Hint Hint.
)
Talking with teams in the pits at Palmetto and Peachtree, it seems like there are a great number of teams interested in SCRIW. I'm excited.
