Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 Rhode Island District Event
Hello All,

As one of the few Alpha Test Teams for FIRST (We were given the 2015 control system to help FIRST with test development) we would like to bring this hardware along with us to the RI district and set up a display to show it off to the teams there.

We think this will be a great addition to the competition. Allowing teams to interact with the control system they will be required to use next year.

The control system is currently set up on our 2013 robot, the best way to demonstrate its capabilities to teams is to show it in action.

I am writing to see how/who/what needs to be done to allow us to set up some space in a hallway or something (I am unfamiliar with Bryant University's layout) so that we can have an area to drive our Alpha Demonstration Robot Around, and interact with teams, answer questions, possibly shoot frisbees in a closed off space. Have a table with a few computers set up, and possible internet connection for the duration of the event.

I know some of the other members of our team have already tried to contact a few people via email. I thought a post here would catch more visibility.

Please let me know, I need to know if I am bringing the extra robot to RI with us by Wednesday night.

All of this is merely to benefit the people who will be in attendance at RI.

Thanks,
Kevin
