I just thought of the best/worst idea.... have you ever seen a robot bowl before? Heheheh, why don't we all meet at a bowling alley and have to code an autonomous mode to push the bowling ball down and get a strike Lol. Sorry, just a wacky idea, but it would be fun to do.

oops, I didn't mean for it to drive all the way down there and hit all the pins... But hey it's a bunch of FIRST teams, we can bend the rules a little
Hmm, 13lb ball and a 12" diameter air canon, 120psi (no regulator). Do we have to pay for broken pins? Ever seen pumpkin chuckin competitions? Thats a trip!

If you are not able to get it in your school what do you have in Mind? A place like we did a few years back for Mayhem in Miami? If anything im pretty sure a few of the teams can get together and help you get something going! Im sure a lot of us really want this to happen!

emmm... FIU would be otta the window no? short on time and money! Im gonna talk to some of my other team mates to see if they have anything in mind!

and it would be nice if we could find somewhere in Ft.L. I mean, not have it to far North, and to far south. Its gonna be asking alot for the really Northern teams to drive all the way down! Just a thought!

Tis quite alright. I'm not sure though... I havn't heard any mention of it, but then again I may have and forgot, or maybe they don't say anything about it when I'm around. I don't see why we wouldn't... I'll find out within the next couple of days and let y'all know.

On a side note... it was in Kissimmee, not Orlando. Though it could possibly be in Orlando this year...

George... is what you told me true or just a rumor?

Yeah another Idea.. is nova southeastern.. they have a nice gym and auditorium.. there is a million and one places here to hold it..

you hold it at our school tho.. we might be able to arrange a social hehe.. we have beaches 5 min. and bowling allie and an ice sk8in rink within 10... so I don't know.. lol not as important.. but if we do this we want to do it right

Getting space field and date are #1 priorities tho ( in that order )

so we'll see soon hopefully

list of things need to be done

1. get place to hold invitational
2. set a date for it
3. contact first on getting a field
4. get teams register and help them find places here to stay
5. find volunteers and judges
6. build field and hold competition

This is the order that me and dan are working in. number 1 should be done by this week and if one goes to plan then number 2 should be done this week and so on and so on. We are back to school by tommorow so we will set up a meeting with adminstration and facilties to get approval and get them interested. Stay tune to this thread for more updates as they come along.

Still looking for suggestions on who to ask to be referees

Just so you don't set a date and get people pumped for it and have the possibility of cancelling.... you should probably contact FIRST first, just so everyone doesn't get upset if something does happen and you can't hold it cause you can't get a field, plus you have to plan around FIRST since I'm sure they may loan fields to many other offseason competitions, and you might not be able to get it on a set date, so probably wisest to go through them first.

Well if it all goes according to planned, it would be a sad day if spam could not attend.

Where to hold it!

I think we could do it in a school that has a large enough gym (like the mini-rodeo at orlando at the begining of this year.. there were quite a few teams there and the room was sufficient.). Our school has a relatively large gym so i could talk to the team leaders about it (we have a team meeting tomorrow so ill talk to them about it then). Hopefully we'll get something going.. i know that on 212 were all sad the year with robotics is over because most of the team is graduating - so one last event would be AWESOME!

i do believe WA has a big enough facility, of course, that all depends on how many teams there are in attendance or course
