I can take a stab at answering some of these questions, but please remember that everything is always subject to change!
The team list is incomplete because we still have events running. The division list is incomplete for the same reason. We're expecting 100 Quad Quandary teams (50 per division) plus 12 showcase teams.
We're playing in 2 divisions, Edison and Franklin, with division winners going head to head in a final match (so alliance selections for Edison teams will be among Edison teams only, etc). Division selections will be random and teams may not select the division they will play in.
We're hoping each team can get in 2 practice matches and 7 competition matches. We've put together an awesome set of volunteers and our goal is to keep on schedule as much as possible so teams get the chance to compete as much as we can fit in to the schedule!
Our new platform will debut in the Showcase Competition which is going to be held in the pit area on Thursday! Check it out!
The Public Agenda was posted on the
FIRST website, and of course, is subject to change, but will give you an idea of all the stuff that's happening in Atlanta while we are there. Note that we have an awards ceremony on both afternoons now so plan to stay for it. Awards go to the division finalists, the finalist alliance and the winning alliance. Showcase teams will also win a finalist and winning alliance award. Judged awards are not per division (one Inspire winner, one Think winner, etc).
As you can see on the agenda, we're open on Wed afternoon for early team check-in and inspection. Save some time on Thursday and get it out of the way on Wed if you are already in Atlanta! We'd like everyone to be in the Dome for the final matches on Friday, plus to see the final matches of the Showcase, followed by Closing Ceremonies. Our pits will close early on Friday, but will be open on Sat morning for a couple of hours for those who still need to pack up. Plan accordingly.
Also note the
FIRST Conference sessions - you may find them to be helpful to register for and attend. And plan to visit the Scholarship college tables - many of the Scholarships are being offered to FTC students as well as FRC students.
I hope that answers some of your questions...
