Good Morning –
Thank you for your purchase of a pass(es) for the 2009 FIRST Robotics Conference.
To pick up your passes, please come to the table by the Conference rooms anytime after 1PM on Wednesday. Before we will release tickets, we need the person who purchased the tickets (or a proxy with a copy of the confirmation) to stop by and get the tickets.
The Conference rooms are GWCC C203, C204, and C205. These rooms face the plaza and dome and are one floor above the pit area. The easiest way to get there is to exit the door in the back right corner of the pit and take the escalator up one floor. The rooms are immediately on your right!
During the Conference, for those of you that will be sharing the passes between multiple people, you can feel free to have your team member leave the passes on the Conference table as an easily accessible “trading post” with their teammates. This has worked well in past years.

An updated schedule from the one on the web, including any changes that occur on-site, will be posted on the Conference table. Note that due to last minute travel problems and conflicts, presenters must sometimes cancel or change their session time. Check in at the table so you do not miss any presentations!
Some important, recent changes to the schedule:
· Canceled – The Procedure for Incorporating as Non-Profit Organization
· Canceled – Transitioning from a Robotics Club to a HS Class
· Moved – Traction Control – Level 1, 2, 3 Concepts and Implementation (from Wednesday at 4:30 to Thursday at 4PM in room C204)
· Added – Robonauts Crab Drive Wheel Box (Thursday at 8AM in C203)
If you have any issues, please feel free to email
colleen at wpi.edu as I will be able to receive those emails even while in Atlanta.
