People who know team 222 know that we love Mini comps. We host one ourselves and recognize their value. I have sent an e-mail request for info. As long as our robot can still drive we will compete with it.

Just a short one day event. Basically, the Long Island, NY Team Leaders got together and wanted to create a mini-competition to give us one last hoorah for the Stack Attack and use it as a way to help train our rookie members as well as help get new rookie teams acclimated to what FIRST is about.
This years competition will be very simple, no fancy FIRST field, no autonomous. We just want to get together and run the robots. We are hoping to get about 12 teams to the event, but so far we only have a handful of teams confirmed. |

Time, vehicles, permission, PEOPLE--- SIMPLE--- WE'RE JUST ADDICTED TO FIRST!!!! Our alumni and parents enjoy going on the trips as much as the students! Any chance we get to drive our robot, we at least try to jump on it. As long as we get enough people for a driving crew and a vehicle to haul the bot, we're set. We're crazy people when it comes to off-season comps: -Leave @ 4 AM -Most get NO sleep the night b4(you can usuallly find me grabbing a quick nap at the comp )-We drive counless miles for nothing more than a CHANCE for trophies(or Tiki's, whichever the case may be) -Then we get to do it all over again in a week or two |

Just out of curiosity, how many off-season competitions has 222 attended this year? I must say that your effort and passion are extremely impressive. Andy B. |

Seeing as how there are only a few long island and city teams who go to off-seasons, mainly 271 263 and 871, you could try registering for the event with Fred but I don't know how much they'd be willing to give a PA team a spot in it. Last year when we had an SBPLI demo/mini event only 5 teams showed up, 263, 311, 353, 810 and 870. And then only 4 teams showed up to support SBPLI at the LIFT forum, teams 263, 311, 353, and 871. But I think the main goal in this event is to give the chance to long island teams to get more active in off-season FIRST, not to host a big competitive event for teams from far away to travel to.

Rob you are 100% correct about the competition being a small and simple event, but from what we discussed at the Team Leaders meeting, I think SBPLI is happy to host any and all teams who attend, just as long as they keep in mind this is not the normal off-season, full field competition that they are used to.
But we definitely need some more teams to register, at last count I think there were only 4 or 5 teams committed, we need at least 6 to run the mini-competition, and I think they would like to have at least 10 - 12 teams. oh and BTW, 871 was at the mini-comp / demo last year as well :-) |

Next year if you can make it a weekend event, a lot of schools will participate or just to show up to support FIRST on LI. Have demos, robot contests, and robot/team games. (sell T-shirts, drinks and snacks as fund-raiser too) FIRST-oholics like me will be on your door steps! I go to all the LI Regionals except last your because it was at the same time as the NYC Regional. ![]() |

Hosting a competition of our own i totally understand what you are saying but the reason we compete in off season events as i perceived them is not to compete with the robot and win it all but to support other teams within FIRST. Our comp is one of our teams major fundraisers and it brings awareness to first and really does present great learning opportunities to the rookies and other students. On Nov 15th we will be bringing 23 Members to Ramp Riot most of which are rookies. I just hope that my team isn't being perceived as a team that competes for the sake of competing.
