To answer some questions that are certain to come up:

• Any Austin locals interested in taking part in the TRR Planning Committee please send an email to RobotRoundup@gmail.com. I plan to start having meetings following Championships.
  
• The schedule is not finalized yet, but will be made public as soon as it is ready.
  
• We plan to again host a variety of workshops, presentations, and meetings! Stay tuned for details later this summer.
  
• As of right now, we plan to once again hold a Mentors Tournament and a Robot Skills Challenge. Stay tuned for sign ups to come out later this summer.
  
• Like TRR 2011 and many other Off-Season Events, we do not plan to have robots inspected at TRR 2012. However, we expect teams to follow the 2012 Game Rules and abide by the values of Gracious Professional.
  
• We will be working with our Head Referee, Referee crew, and the decisions of other Off-Seasons to determine if we will instate any changes to the game play rules. Any rules changed will be done so in favor of the teams. We will make announcements of any rule changes as soon as possible.
  
• We plan to give out a variety of awards again this year, though the full list is still to be determined. Definitely look forward to some new additions.
  
• TRR 2011 Awards were all peer-judged. As of now, the intention is to continue with this tradition.
  
• The ausTIN CANs will be hosting their Annual Tin Can Food Drive. The team who contributes the most cans will receive an award.
