Go to Post Force yourself now, today, to learn one new thing each day. When you lay down on your fluffy pillow at night, before you say your prayers, ask yourself if you have learned anything new. If the answer is "NO" then you better get up and find something. - Al Skierkiewicz [more]

2012 CAGE Match

A tradition has formed in central Indiana - on the third Saturday in October, dozens of nerds, geeks, dweebs, and other future millionnaires gather in a high school and play with robots.

CAGE Match 2012 - Saturday, October 20
Southport Fieldhouse
971 E Banta Road
Indianapolis, IN 46227

Hosted by the Digital Goats (829) and CyberCards (1529) - with help from many other area teams

Presented by AndyMark

This event has an emphasis on introducing the fun and excitement of FRC gameplay to the general public. Participants are encouraged to use rookie drive teams; parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, sponsors, prospective sponsors, school faculty - they're all welcome and invited.
If you have a special individual or group you'd like to have VIP or judge status, drop me a line. mstaylor@perryschools.org.

Once again, we'll have a silent auction, with proceeds going toward the Art Anderson Scholarship. Last year we were able to award a deserving student $1,000.

Event website: www.thecagematch.com
Twitter: #thecagematch

See you in October!

Re: 2012 CAGE Match

-UPDATE-

Price will once again be $300 per team ($150 pre-rookies) - with options to discount for early registration (before 9/14) and bringing game pieces.

We are investigating having a dinner the night before - as of now it will be open to all, students and mentors alike. The time and location of the dinner are not yet ratified.


Before lunch, we will have a roundtable discussion for students new to FRC - what to expect your first FIRST season, with an emphasis on the non-robot side of FRC.

After lunch, we will have a roundtable discussion for adults new to FRC - what to expect your first FIRST season, with an emphasis on the non-robot side of FRC.

During lunch, we will have an activity in which participating teams will have the opportunity to win AndyMark merchandise.

There will be a guided VIP tour - if you have prospective partners you'd like to receive the royal treatment, send me a PM. This will be open to individuals and their families.

We are currently working on the possibility of having a practice area.

There is currently no cap on teams - all who register are welcome. Registration will be done on the website beginning 9/1.

There is a facebook page and twitter account.

Re: 2012 CAGE Match

Question: I don't remember there being inspectors last year. Is that different this year or is that a typo on the Volunteer page?

Re: 2012 CAGE Match

Like Scott said, the registration for the 2012 CAGE Match is now open! Once again, everything is on the website www.thecagematch.com - registration, volunteer positions, scholarship information, etc. There are four new items I'd like to point out:

1. For pre-rookies that need a robot, they can request one through registration. Veterans that have a secondary robot to spare can let us know through registration as well.

2. We're trying a new initiative this year - we'll be hosting two Roundtable Discussions, geared toward people new to FRC, one for adults and one for students. Sort of a what-to-expect-your-first-year discussion. Open to all rookie members, whether their team is a first-year or 22nd-year vet.

3. Make sure all graduating Seniors see our scholarship opportunity; also, consider donating an item to the Silent Auction. Last year the Auction raised $1,000 for the Art Anderson scholarship.

4. We'll be hosting prospective sponsors and their families on Saturday morning. We'd like some help introducing them to the FRC experience. If you know of any current Seniors or recent graduates that would like to share their stories of inspiration from FIRST to these fine folks in small groups, please let me know.

Re: 2012 CAGE Match

There are 18 teams confirmed so far. That matches our 2009 total. For those who have not yet registered, there is a $25 discount for signing up before 9/14.

The scholarship application is ready. Current seniors: Jump on this opportunity at free money! Current non-seniors: Bring items for the Silent Auction to help out a FIRST Senior! Among the items on this year's table: An autographed official authorized Dean Simmons & the Kamen Brothers (and sister!) stage prop.

Re: 2012 CAGE Match

Unfortunately, our website is down. We're working with our providers to get it back on line. Hopefully everything will be resolved soon. We'll let you know when it's ready.
Thanks for your understanding. Remember at the end of the week, the early bird discount of $25 goes away, so register soon if you haven't already done so!

OK they attacked godaddy, but the former sounds cooler.
