Calm before the Storm
Early to late Aug is the FIRST calm before the storm. Many summer events are now complete, students are preparing for fall classes and the CD Forums are quite empty as vacations are diverting our attentions.
With this said......... Any clue to when FIRST will be releasing basic information for the 2006 season? Dates, locations and new registration processes are of interest to all FIRST Teams. We have the dates for the Championship April 27, 28 and 29 but this is all. Of interest also is the result of the location for the Championship 07,08,09 as the bid process was to be complete early this fall. We all need to enjoy the calm for it is such a short time, but the anticipation of a new season is in the back of our minds with questions, ideas and the excitement of the coming Robotics season. Anyone heard any 2006 information? |

Re: Calm before the Storm
Not to start a huge debate, but I had a thought (that I'm sure someone else has thought of)...
But, wouldn't it be nice to have the kick-off before the winter/Christmas/holiday break to allow people to use the normal time off from work/school to get a really good start on the game? Sure, maybe it should be a time of relaxation before the 4 months of FIRST, but it is an idea... Anyway...I'm anxious for 2006... |

Re: Calm before the Storm
I feel the loomings of a new season...
The signs are here already... most ominous is The All-Knowing, but often Less Then Helpful, Dave Lavery has taken his webcam down. He's hiding something! Something cool! |

Re: Calm before the Storm
I think if they don't keep the event in Atlanta, they may move it to a college campus. But then again they need a place with a large amount of hotels. But I can't wait for more info to come out. And the sooner the date for kickoff comes out, the sooner we all start counting.
This Will be the Greatest Season Ever! |

Re: Calm before the Storm
Some little bird told me event info will be up on 9/1, with pre-registration and FRC event registration not too far past that.
I bet you wish you could see the file on my desktop named "FIRST '06 Dates", don't ya? Last edited by Ricky Q. : 12-08-2005 at 13:16. |
