Yes.
My Coach actually received an e-mail from them a couple of days ago:
"Hello Coaches and Mentors!
National Instruments is considering an Offseason FRC Competition based on the Lunacy game at their NIweek in Austin on August 5th & 6th. This is a great opportunity for you to have a chance to improve your robot and have another chance to compete in another competition with teams across Texas.
NI has asked that I solicit your input. They are wanting to know—if they plan this event—will your team most likely plan to participate. (we’re not asking for registration—just if you are interested in this and would consider participation)
Details:
August 5-6th in Austin, TX at NIweek
$300.00 entry fee
Your team’s robot
You will have pit space
Omni Downtown Hotel-- $99.00 per night
On a scale of 1-10 (1— definitely not coming and 10—wouldn’t miss this for the world) how likely is it that you would plan to attend and compete?
Please respond to this email with your team number and number of likelihood by the end of the day!!!
TEAM #:
Likelihood to participate:
Thank you!!!!
