Re: Imagine: The Next Year's Challenge Unveiled at Championship Closing Ceremonies
why not do simething like this.
First saturday in August: Kickoff event
8 week period to build robot
Ship Date early October. with fix it windows until December and animation/charimans award etc due in December.
Regionals begin in January
10 Week period for regionals, therefore more scouting and team building is possible.
Championship: Late April, as always
This way, you get everything, a FIRST off-season, a reasonable build season. time for Animation etc. to do their thing...therefore, having more hands working on the bot. more weeks of regional action, so that scouting is more possible. and have the championship event where it belongs. One thing that would change in my little perfect world. Championship event would be called CHAMPIONSHIP WEEK, starting on monday and ending on saturday. (we need more matches and more room if we are going to grow. the georgia dome can't be our home forever. we need to build a custom FIRST stadium. in Manchester to go along with FIRST Place and the Hall Of Fame.) I can imagine 100,000 people in that stadium, and see millions watching around the world, because, this plan would give more time to Robotics and the Media to expose it.
btw. who needs the superbowl...it's now in april....and in ATL
Pepsi. please invest the 2.5 Million you wasted for that 30 second frame over here, cuz dis b da new $h1+
