TNT September 16th and 17th Reminder

[Cooley744]

So I've already "spammed" my own Facebook with posts and comments about how excited I am for TNT this year, but now I get the chance to do so here on Chiefdelphi... so without further to do... I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!! Okay, that is all.

[Mr B]

TnT is one of the funnest FIRST events, and we can't wait to play! Does anyone know if the rules will be modified? There were some changes made at IRI that made the game better in my opinion (mini bots weren't as important, and tube strategy came into play).

As of right now there are 27 teams officially signed up with 2 teams possibly coming.

I will try to find out for you. I graduated so I am not at all the meetings to find out!

TNT in 1 week and a day!!!

What time should teams get there to unload and setup?

Can anyone suggest a good place to go after TNT to watch the conclusion of the UCF vs FIU game, and also the Oklahoma vs FSU game?

Pretty much any Beef 'O' Bradys.

We ask that teams try to show up at or after 6PM on Friday. We can't guarantee anyone can get in or unload their things until that time as the facility has scheduled use until then.

Mr. Dunderbak's nothing like authentic German food with plenty of television sets to watch the game (along with live music from a traditional German band)

My wife and I are very excited to make the trip up to TNT. Even though we are going to our first event together teamless, we are looking forward to a very thrilling event.

Hope this helps.

TNT folks,

Brant Bowen and Daniel Bravo of AndyMark will be driving the AndyMark truck down to Tampa, bringing the competition field to TNT. You guys may know Brant, as he was at the Orlando FRC Regional back in March. Brant is our Operations Engineer here at AndyMark, while Daniel is an AndyMark intern from Purdue.

We have loaded up the AndyMark truck and it's ready for the long trip. When the field is set up, check out the blue and red anodized racks. FIRST had us get these racks anodized as a test to see what this would look like and how it would hold up from event to event. This will be the third event for that anodization (IRI, Texas Robot Roundup), so you can check to see how this neat colorization is wearing.

Sincerely,
Andy
