Re: 2013 SCRRF Fall Classic

Due to space and time constraints we only have slots for 30 robots. We want as many teams as possible to participate. We especially want our Pre-rookies to participate fully and learn how to compete effectively.

Second robots will only be allowed to compete if they are being driven/run by a Pre-rookie team. We just do not have the room for a team take more than one slot. Yes, you may have some of your team working with the Pre-rookies and your second robot may be present to be used to show off or for spare parts.

A few comments:
1) This is a great problem to have (too many robots)
2) One of the organizer's big concerns is cycle time. The faster we turn the matches this year the more confident we will be next year that we can run shorter cycles and more matches, which leads to more slots. Please do everything you can to make field reset happen quickly. This might include sending some volunteers to help with reset.
3) If things work out with this many teams this year, we might set our sights on a two day event next year.
