So we had another planning meeting done, and a lot of things were accomplished. Team contacts, make sure to check your e-mail for the full run down, but there's just a few things I want to get out here on CD.
The 666 Mentor Robot is going to be the 228 twin this year. It is quite a fantastic machine, and I'm very interested to see it in the hands of our friends from "down below"
. We'll be running it just as we have in past years, with mentors being able to sign up to play with or against their teams.
We finalized our Human Player Game. The game this year is called "Around The World". We have all of the game rules posted
here on our website. Sign ups will be available the day of the Invitational. Also Kyle Twarog and I should be making a video showing you how to play the game within the next few weeks.
We also will be continuing our use of the Double Elimination Bracket. Since this gives us a little more flexibility on how many alliances we can have in eliminations, we have increased the vent from 25 teams to 29 teams. However all teams (except 228 and 1071) have a guarantee of being in eliminations.
Just 17 days until the big day!
