Thanks.

Thanks for asking, Jenny. Word is that there are still a few last sessions to be confirmed. A list of the presentations should be posted in the next day or two and the schedule may be out by the end of the week.

That's the best information that I can provide at the moment. Thank you for your patience in waiting for the lists and schedule. Stay tuned.

I always get confused, but do these include the Mechanical Design presentations and panels with guests from Team IFI, 469, 118..etc.?

Are those planned/posted anywhere?

There are technical and nontechnical conference presentations and in the past years, there have been panel discussions. Often, after the list is posted, the presenters will create a thread here in CD about their topic.

All,

Thank you for your awesome patience. The information has been posted on the FIRST website. Please check it out and plan to purchase your tickets for the conference presentations! You really don't want to miss this opportunity.

Anyone have any idea whether WPI will be archiving any of these sessions?

[Chris Fultz]

Many (most) were videotaped and will be placed on the FIRST website. Also, presenters have been asked to submit their presentations to be placed there as well.

Thanks Chris. I'll give it a couple of weeks and then start asking. It would be great to be able to use these as part of local training workshops. Do you know where on the FIRST site the links are usually stored? I think I found 2009, but nothing for 2010.

The presenters may need a little bit of time to recover from the Championship event and to get their materials, such as slides, submitted for archival purposes. It's always good to bring these opportunities to the attention of the CD community but sometimes, wants just take a little bit of time.

Hi Jane,

Got it. Just trying to figure out what is realistic re: expectations. Summer? Fall? Should we be thinking of ways to bribe Karthik to come to Maryland?

It's my understanding that the presenters were told they had a couple of months to get presentation materials in. So... that would make it... mid-summer?

Not quite as amusing as the live show, but Karthik's presentation (actually it looks like a slightly older but nearly identical version) is available on the 1114 website under "Strategy".

Good to know these presentations will be up on the internet for me to find, adjust, and preach/practice with my team.
Will there be any kind of paywall? I know you had to pay to get in the conference (which I still find perplexing).

[KathieK]

The presentations will be linked from FIRST Place: http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...nt.aspx?id=840 once the presenters send them to FIRST to compile. (I'm one of the ones who hasn't found the time to do so yet! )

Jenny, you should always be thinking of ways to bribe me!

[RoboMom]

Any updates on where these can be found?

And many thanks to all who have posted in this thread with the links: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=87192

There is some very useful information here.
