I'm sure 1519 will be there, and I assume they'll be bringing both configurations of their robot (entered as two bots). I'm looking forward to another great competition!

We are still waiting for their registration.

I'll ask about the dual-configuration robot. Entering a second robot would cost an additional $200 and will only be allowed if we haven't filled up with teams.

We've never had a problem with that, though.

Hooray for Mayhem! I'm looking forward to this event - it's so much fun!

[Elgin Clock]

I'm finalizing plans & checking to make sure I can go to Mayhem this week.
Hopefully I'll be able to attend. It's always a fun time!

Mayhem in Merrimack is very proud to announce that NEMO (Non-Engineering
Mentor Organization) will be offering a workshop at our competition. This
will take place in the Little Theater across from the gym starting at 9:30
AM.

NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) provides support to mentors from
FIRST programs in the non-technical areas such as mentor recruitment,
sponsors, fundraising, travel planning, team organization and team building.
Mentors are free to come and go as their responsibilities to their teams
dictate.

Please share this information with the mentors on your team. I am sure that
a lively discussion will be held. We hope to see a representative from each
team at our meeting!
Please include any parents who may be interested in helping your team.

Excerpts from the NEMO web Site:

NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization)

We deal with all the stuff that isn't rocket science!

NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) is a support group and
information exchange for those adult non-engineering mentors who help teams
as part of the FIRST robotics programs

NEMO will be open to adult mentors, including engineers, teachers and
college students (who may be the only mentors on their teams) who are
involved with all the non-engineering aspects of the FIRST Robotics
programs. It is mainly a support group and information exchange for those
mentors who help with all the behind-the-scene glue that hold the teams
together including mentor recruitment and retention, travel (hotels, endless
meals), parent involvement, fundraising, business plans, public relations,
community service, dealing with the FIRST logistics. We hope to seek out all
the NEMs who don't realize they are part of a large community.

We have a few battery monitors that we'd like to try out tomorrow. We'd like to strap these onto robots and take data during matches. Basically, we will (unobtrusively) measure the current and voltage your batteries are supplying over the course of a match.

Any volunteers?

Thanks,
Eric
