Update 3!

FIRST Fall Fiesta – Update #3
Practise Field Open
Victoria Park Collegiate Institute is inviting teams to practice at the venue this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4-8pm. Teams who participate will be allowed to leave their robots at the school until the Saturday event. The venue has a three quarter practice field with a truss and high goals! Contact Bruce Garrett (teacher) for scheduling your team for practice. Bruce.garrett@tdsb.on.ca
Match Seating and Viewing
Teams are asked to be considerate with regard to the limited seating. We have approximately 350 bleacher seats which gives each team about 12 seats. To compensate, we have the cafeteria overflow area where there will be a live video feed to show the matches in real-time. This area will hold up to 500 hundred people and will have a large screen display of all matches.

Celebrity Match
We are thrilled to feature a Celebrity Match which provides an opportunity for students to work collaboratively with senior school board officials in a STEM challenge. The match will also highlight females as leaders in Robotics. We ask that all teams ensure they are back early from lunch to support the Celebrity Match.

Looking good, Im really happy that there will be practice available. Would have been nice to hear about it earlier, but im not complaining. 5031 will most likely be there on Thursday to do final tweaks on the new and improved robot.
