Sacramento Offseason Competition

[MrTechCenter]

Introducing Capital City Classic, an offseason competition in the Sacramento Area hosted by Team 2073 Eagleforce and Team 3859 WolfPack, formerly known as Powerhouse Pwnage. The competition will be a replay of the 2014 FRC Game, Aerial Assist. Here is some important information:

Date: September 19th and 20th (19th is strictly load-in and practice, teams are not required to show up on the 19th)

Location: Pleasant Grove High School
9531 Bond Road
Elk Grove, CA 95624

Capacity: 36 ROBOTS

Registration: $250 (due date TBD)

We will also, once again, be featuring a set of female-only drive team exhibition matches before eliminations.

Teams are more than welcome to enter up to three robots to compete, and slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. A discount will be available for teams that enter more than one robot. Teams can register here. More information regarding the competition will be available soon, but feel free to message me and see if I can answer your question. We look forward to seeing all of you here in September!


P.S. If Team 254 competes at the event, every mentor will receive a complimentary corn dog!

Out of curiosity, why the name change? Can't wait for CCC this fall.

We changed the name because last year a sponsor called powerhouse science museum gave money to help us host the event. This was a one time deal. Team 2073 decided to fund the offseason competition and rename it. Capital City Classic (CCC) will be exciting, and have tons of #SWAGFUN!

1678 will definitely be in attendance to support our local off-season event! Thanks for putting this on, and I'm digging the name change.

Side note: All these corndogs are gonna go straight to my hips! Really hoping MTTD doesn't have corndogs as well, or I'm in trouble...

Thanks for the info. First Team 701 will be there.

I guess the real question is: What do we to provide you to make sure you can produce the HOTTEST Webcast EVER!!!!!!!

[MrTechCenter]

We could use some help spreading the word. We know that not every team has someone constantly on Chief Delphi. If you have contacts with teams in California (or possibly even further!) please share the link with them!

1678 just did an interview with Fox40 news Sacramento and they said they would be willing to publicize the event. Get in touch with us and we'll pass along the information.

We need to update our webcast team (three key seniors are leaving). Then we should talk over the summer.

When will you be sending out requests for volunteers? Also, has the team arrived on a final cost, and when does the money need to be mailed?

The volunteer request will go out at the same time that the email regarding payment will go out, which will be sometime this week. The final cost will be $250 for the initial robot. We will be deciding on what the cost for second robots will be tomorrow and sending out the emails shortly after. Payments are going to be accepted online and by mail-in check. The payment, however, will not be due until August 19th. Look for more information in an email later this week.

[MrTechCenter]

We still have spots left! Registration closes August 1st! So if your team wants to compete, register ASAP!

Also, we are still in need of volunteers, especially referees, scorekeepers, and pit admin personnel! Let me know of you are interested in volunteering.
