Michigan Science Center — FRC Weekend Event

[Zebra_Fact_Man]

Is there any associated cost for teams or is this a free event to participate in?

When I spoke with the Science Center's public relations director, she said that the museum would most likely give each team a certain number (about 5 to 10) of free passes for the students and mentors running each booth/display, like they do for other school/community groups. This has not yet been confirmed by her boss, but at the very least I know they have been discussing giving teams a discount price. I'm still waiting to hear a response from the museum on this topic, but I will release an update as soon as I do.

I doubt that my team will be able to come and be exhibitors, but I would love to help out and just be there as a FIRST representative.

FIRST has changed my life in so many positive ways. I'd love to share those experiences with people.

Thanks for your interest.

Depending on how many volunteers decide to come, I might have to make a separate sign-up sheet for individuals...

I'm checking with the rest of my team but 1188 is definitely interested. I'm also checking with our sister team 3548.

[VexisDarksteele]

Sometime next week, I should have the finalized loading/unloading schedules and pit directory map. I'll send out this information through email to the lead contact of each registered team. Also, it has been confirmed; each team will receive 10 free admissions for students, mentors, coaches or volunteers. Additional passes for family, friends or other team supporters must be purchased from the front desk at normal museum prices.
Attending teams: We will need a complete roster of your attendees at least one week prior to the event for check-in.

Awesome. The more, the merrier!

[Chris Mounts]

Team 1188 is confirmed if you still have openings.

If we acquire a functioning cRIO in time, 313 would like to participate. I'll send the email confirming this if/when we get the cRIO figured out.

[Chris Mounts]

We can bring a cRIO for you if it helps.
