What is your policy on those who live in the area, but do not have a team qualified for champs? I might like to go, but sadly, 3397 is not attending worlds.

1305 wants to go! We'll be bringing the ice

I put a survey out to the kids and the results are very strong so far.
So I do think that Team 341 will be there.
We will pay online once the survey s complete.
Thanks for hosting this once again.

Best wishes to everyone on Team 399.

How is the volume at the event? Will it be the kind of event where the music is too loud and all you can do is dance? Not that I have an issue with loud music... its just that I am going to Championship alone as a volunteer and would love an opportunity to socialize with other FIRST robotics people. This seems like a possible opportunity to do so, but if its the kind of event where its just fun with no dialogue, it would probably be hard to socialize.

Count the Miracle Workerz in! We're collecting information to get an exact number, but we're expecting about 15 to 20 students who wish to attend

Thank you for holding this awesome event, and see you there!

The main event of RoboProm is the dance floor and that does get loud, but we do have tables off to the side where people sit and chat and help themselves to our refreshments. If you find the dance room a bit too loud we do have another room available that people decide to hang out in that is a lot quieter.

And (if I recall) there are many fun games of ninja, honey, and other socializing games around the hotel.

Very excited to announce that 399 has once again given me the distinct honor of handing out RoboProm King and Queen - so I'll be there!

I'm not sure yet how the titles will be decided - we're working on that now - but we'll make sure to let you know!

See you all in St. Louis!

[Andrew Remmers]

I really do wish I was going to champs now.

[MrTechCenter]

Better start working on my duct tape vest and fedora...

[Phyrxes]

I believe our students are planning on attending, looks like fun.

Team 399 is very pleased to announced that AndyMark, Inc. is now an official sponsor of music at RoboProm!!

Don't forget that our pre-sale ENDS April 18th!
