Found it! Thanks.

Downloaded App and it works fine. The search seams to only be by team name.

I emailed the developer in St. Louis and they are adding team numbers today or tomorrow.

On the FIRST Robotics app it says "Load-in B" is at the Plaza entrance at the corner of 7th and Convention Plaza road. We're just bringing our stuff on Metrolink so is this where we'd enter Wednesday night since we don't have a truck?

I still can't tell where the pit map will be posted once the numbers are added. Can someone link me?

[Dale]

You would think the pit map would be posted at http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...pionship-event but you never know. Most of this discussion was about the FIRST Robotics app for iPhone and Android that already has it. Those maps have team numbers now, you just can't search for them, just by team name, for the time being.

I downloaded the app and emailed myself the pit map file that was in the app. Here it is:

Thank you. I'm not smart enough to have a smart phone.

FRC quiet area? Interesting. "Make it Loud!" and all that...

I like how the Hall of Fame space is about 1/4 of the size of a bathroom and 1/5 the size of the FIRST store...

Wow, I poured over that map for 10 minutes before I could even find the HOF space.

This isn't a response to your post, but rather a point of comparison: "The Chairman’s Award is FIRST’s most prestigious award . . . The Chairman’s Award helps keep the central focus of the FIRST Robotics Competition on the goal of inspiring greater levels of respect and honor for science and technology."

With this layout, the Chairman's award winners are only the central focus between the First store and Scholarship booth.

I don't think that is the actual HoF space. That must be a display about HoF teams rather than the actual HoF. They each set up a pit sized display, no way does that fit there!

We are not being given the space we previously had. Each team is getting a banner provided by FIRST showing the year we won and a team photo, along with a 24" diameter cocktail table style arrangement.

It's pretty much an embarrassment. I didn't think they could make it worse than last year where it was shoved off in a corner, but this might take the cake.

So, as teams, do we all need to complain that we do not like the new format?

I'm going to hold off until I see it myself...but I don't like the sound of it.
