MAR Pre-Ship Scrimmage

[simpsonboy77]

Hello everyone,

Team 41, RoboWarriors will be hosting a pre-ship scrimmage this year. It is open to all teams, however we ask that you register on our website if you plan on attending. The registration form is http://team41robotics.com/scrimmage/. It will be hosted 9:00am to 6:00pm on February 16th and 9:00am to 4:00pm on February 17th. I have attached our flyer to this post.

Post or PM me any questions, comments or concerns.

-Garrett

Is a webcast a possibility?

The more time the better, but we won't turn anyone away. We really want to know how many teams will be there as having 40 teams will be logistically tough for us. If you register and don't show that's fine also (although we would love you to come). Three days should be enough time.

That is an excellent question. I know your team has done webcasts in the past. How exactly have you done webcasts? I would definitely do a webcast, but I have no clue how.

Will it be a scrimmage with matches or more of a practice?

We are hoping for full matches, 3v3 with 15 second auton and 2 minute teleop period. There won't be a strict schedule with match numbers and matchmaking.

Last year there were a few hours were teams were on the field in different locations for calibrating cameras and testing the bridges. If teams are ready for matches, we will run them, likewise if teams want a bit of field time for small tests we can run that also.

How would you like it run? I'm open to suggestions.

You say the field is "full-size" but is it one of the official FIRST fields with the official control system, welded power coated towers, ect?

If not can you show us some pictures of it?

This will be actual MAR field used at competitions.

We will not be using FMS, but it will be wireless. It is probably important to state that everyone should bring their own wireless router as we cannot supply enough.

Also scoring will not be automatic.

Hey Garrett, could you post a list of teams who have expressed interest/signed up?

Some of us were thinking of making a trip to check out teams we will be competing with.

Thanks!

Bump.

I am unsure if I will be able to stream the event, if I manage to get it working it will be streamed at http://www.twitch.tv/avengerslayer .

Field is all setup! All we need are some robots. If you did not register, feel free to stop by anyway!
I'll post pictures of the field tomorrow.
Hope everyone is doing well with their robots.

Photos, definitely.

We will have a camera set up to take video. If I can't stream it I will take video and then overnight convert it and upload to youtube. I will do my best to stream it however. I meant to test this today but I never had time between crunch time and setting up a field.

You are more than welcome to come down to take your own video.

A few of us will hopefully go down to test out our new scouting app (PISA - Now out on the Android Google Play Store), and take photos/videos as well
