I'm hoping I'll be able to make it back home for the Bash this year!

This is a great way to get prospective students, parents, mentors, sponsors and school administrators to understand what FIRST is all about. I'm hosting an "Introduction to FIRST" session immediately following Opening Ceremonies. I'll briefly explain what FIRST is and then take everyone on a quick tour of the competition.

I'm also holding a NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) meeting for adult mentors at 10am. It will be an open discussion of all non-technical topics of interest.

Hope to see you there!

A slight change in the times of the sessions I'm doing - 9:30am for the Intro to FIRST session and 10:30am for the NEMO meeting.

Yes, could we please have some info. I just hope you don't schedule it for October 1st. because I know that the first SATs of the school year are on that day. I will be taking them that day as well as many of the juniors/seniors that are part of CTFIRST.

Too bad - Bash@Beach is lots of fun, the SAT's not so much.

We are looking forward to all at the OCT 1 Bash at the Beach!

We will be opening up registration soon (as we are still dealing with a HS construction project and delayed school opening logistics) & will post here as soon as the 2011 site is live.

In the meantime, if there are any FRC FMS/Scoring System experts out there that are available to volunteer, we would love to have you (and house/feed/host you FRI & SAT nights if that helps). Other volunteers of course are welcome as well!

Folks can contact me via PM or leaving a note here.

Team Paragon looks forward to this event every year.

Good luck with your logistics.

I was wondering why you guys chose to do Bash on the day of the SATs. This is not the first time that an an off season event has been on the day of SATs. I know that you always do it on the first Saturday of October.

Oh well. I hope you guys have an awesome event. I know that Aces High is very excited to attend.

Senor Mas - consider yourself "hired" for the gig! Thanks for volunteering.

Joe - I guess we just got into a bad date tradition regarding SATs but it is driven by a date that is late enough to get things started once the school year kicks off but early enough to give us time to shift into FLL mode (where we help make fields for the whole state, and host our own FLL event). Not really good excuses, but that is the reasoning behind the scheduling madness.

I understand completely. I will try to head down after I take the SATs to at least watch the elimination matches.

There will be a NEMO meeting from 10am to noon, location TBD. We'll either open up the discussion to any non-technical topic of concern to the group. Please let your adult mentors and parents know so they attend.

Any word on when registration opens yet? I just looked at the website and it looks like they're having some technical difficulties. Keep us updated...
