Additional details in the works which will be added to the site soon, as well as sent to registered teams:

Awards, awards, awards!
"Fun events" details (lunchtime and between-match fun extras - for those that missed it last year, we played human foosball on the field, and even had our MC and announcer joining the fray!)
Food options, including pre-order options
Rules Modifications (if any)

Yes agreed awesome!!!!! We should send a email to all the teams who attend flr annually. Maybe we could invite some new rookies.

2168 will be discussing sending a small group up north with the robot at next tuesday's meeting, the hurricane left alot of the area without power and pushed our first official meeting of the year back a week.

We totally should try to get into contact with at least some of the teams. I love FLR, it would be great to see more of the teams.

We are working on getting the information out to teams, but TIMS is down at the moment. So far, we do have a rookie thinking about coming!

And of course I'm excited to see 1503 come to our little event!

1551 will be there, too! (I just got off my duff and registered...)

The rookie team from Honeoye would like to compete. We're looking for a practice robot (with driver's station) for them to use.

(If that's not possible, we'll try to cobble something together with donated mechanisms -- we'd provide the drive base, then see what we could do about a tube manipulator and minibot+deployment.)

Any volunteers? If so, please PM me!

Thanks,

Patrick

About a 4 hour hike. On the edge of doable.

1126 might be able to help. We have a pre-season project of building another robot. I will PM you with more info!

Awesome!
