The main event in our focus right now is the RAPTAR Rampage Scrimmage.
We plan to host this scrimmage at the Science Museum of VA during most of the day (we're shooting for 10AM-5PM) During the end of build time, on a Saturday. I think we're shooting for Feb. 14th (end of fifth week, I think?). It's basically an open field/pit. Just bring your bot whenever you're available, and we'll run practice matches whenever anyone is ready. For those who've been to the Washington DC Practice event, this will be extremely similar.
None of the details are set in stone as of yet, but this year we're planning on constructing a full field for our own practice, that we'll use for the scrimmage as well.
This is a good way to meet other teams, see some other bots, "work out the kinks" and so forth. It's also fun!
This event will also help us gain experience in running field operations and so forth for our RAPTAR RAMPAGE Competition, currently suggested in may or fall of 2004.
I'll post back here when we get some solid results. Until then, keep givin' that feedback (I'm still looking for carpet)
