Tempest 'N Tampa 2008

Several teams have asked for additional information on this year’s Tempest ‘N Tampa so I thought I would start a thread to make sure I get all the questions answered.

Once again, the TNT Robotics Competition will be held in the SUN DOME arena on the University of South Florida campus in Tampa. Thanks to the outstanding efforts of mentors and students from several FIRST teams we are able to expand the offerings at TNT to include a multitude of robotics competitions and workshops.

The FRC Overdrive competition will be a 2-day event starting Friday, Oct 24th with set-up and practice matches throughout the evening; a Team Lock-In at the Sun Dome on Friday night for any FRC team that wishes to save money on lodging costs; and the qualifier and elimination matches on Saturday, Oct 25th.

For FTC we will be hosting the Traveling Roadshow which includes workshops and demonstrations of the new FTC control platform. We will also have a field available so that attending FTC teams can practice and work on their designs.

Our FLL offerings are two-fold. First, there will be an official FLL Qualifier held on Saturday. Registration for the qualifier should be done through the main FLL webpage. Secondly, we will be hosting a series of hands-on workshops for Lego League teams. For more information, please see the FLL event page for TNT here, http://www.roboticsboosters.com/tnt/schedulefll.html.

We are also pleased to offer a VEX competition demonstration and workshop on that Saturday. We will have a full field set up for teams that have begun construction on their Vex robots.

The cost for TNT is $300 for FRC teams, $25 for FLL teams entered in the Qualifier, free for everyone else.

Please visit our event website for more information and the registration form, http://www.roboticsboosters.com/tnt/. If you have any additional questions you can post them here or contact me at the information below.
