And to answer that all important question, yes we are having this event. Even if all we can muster are 15 teams, I just got a new sponsorship which will help us break even. I sincerely hope that everyone in the area will consider attending this event. I even extended registration to May 20.
Also, just wanted to give a shout-out to Team 3419, the Rohawks, for their recent registration. They were the alliance captain for the finalist alliance at NYC Regional and the Wildcard recipient. Plus their robot was awesome. Can't wait to compete with you guys again.
Also, we will be hosting a livestream event BUT IN 360 DEG FULL PANORAMA GLORY!!!!! I just got my hands on a 360 camera and am looking forward to utilizing YouTube's new 360 degree streaming tool. I would love to hear some reactions about this idea.
Lastly, to solve the missing defense problem, we are inviting teams ot create their own original defense to showcase at our event. The team whose custom defense is judged to be the most creative will receive an award. Plus it should add an interesting twist to scouting!
Everything else you can read about in the team update.
Once again, I am looking forward to a good tournament.
