Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 Rhode Island District Event
Hello All,
As one of the few Alpha Test Teams for FIRST (We were given the 2015 control system to help FIRST with test development) we would like to bring this hardware along with us to the RI district and set up a display to show it off to the teams there. We think this will be a great addition to the competition. Allowing teams to interact with the control system they will be required to use next year. The control system is currently set up on our 2013 robot, the best way to demonstrate its capabilities to teams is to show it in action. I am writing to see how/who/what needs to be done to allow us to set up some space in a hallway or something (I am unfamiliar with Bryant University's layout) so that we can have an area to drive our Alpha Demonstration Robot Around, and interact with teams, answer questions, possibly shoot frisbees in a closed off space. Have a table with a few computers set up, and possible internet connection for the duration of the event. I know some of the other members of our team have already tried to contact a few people via email. I thought a post here would catch more visibility. Please let me know, I need to know if I am bringing the extra robot to RI with us by Wednesday night. All of this is merely to benefit the people who will be in attendance at RI. Thanks, Kevin |

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 Rhode Island District Event
I'm really looking forward to RIDE this weekend! It's looking like it'll be another new and well-run event with a great list of teams! I'm just hoping I can make it through this week of school...

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 Rhode Island District Event
Friday at RIDE was pretty fun. It's the first time I've been an event volunteer, and robot inspection was an ideal position. We were done enough with inspections by lunch that I was able to go help my team. We worked through our issues and will kick it up a notch tomorrow.
I look forward to a great set of matches tomorrow. |

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 Rhode Island District Event
RIDE was a fantastic event! Rick and crew did an amazing job, and the event seemed to run smoothly from my perspective as a mentor. Well done, and thank you to all the volunteers who stepped up to help this weekend! I know how difficult it has been in the district this year with multiple events per weekend and in the case of this weekend, multiple events in the same general area. Even with many "rookie" volunteers, they definitely stepped up to the challenge. Thank you all once again!

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 Rhode Island District Event
A huge thanks to the planning committee, judges, refs, scoring table crew, production crew, and the many other volunteers who made this event so well-run! It was yet another great New England first-time district!
Big congratulations to the winning alliance of 78, 125, and 4761... you guys were great! You guys forced us to play at our absolute best, and when we didn't, you were there ready to grab the victory! Your alliance was very strong and very complimentary... excellent job! A tremendous congratulations also to 1100 on their Chairman's win! It sounds like you guys really deserved it! Thank you very much to our alliance partners... 2168 and 5163! You guys were fun to work with and were a pleasure to pick! Hopefully we can work together at future events and seasons! |

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 Rhode Island District Event
Wanted to take some time to say thank you to the RIDE planning committee, lead by Rick Blight. This event was amazingly run, and the volunteer staff, despite being mostly rookies, was fantastic. The district bar was set high by these guys!
MASSIVE thanks to our great friends and alliance partners in 78 and 4761. We were stoked that alliance could be put together. We've played against 78 so many times, both of us edged out the other. It was nice to finally take the gold together. 4761, you guys have come such a long way in a short 2 years. It's been our pleasure helping to mold you guys into a perennially competitive team. Couldn't have picked a better 2 teams to win with! To our friends on 2168 and 1519, you guys were a formidable alliance. We were ecstatic to match up with you in the finals. You played extremely well and I expect both of you to be in it at the end up in Boston in a few weeks. 5163, congrats on a finals appearance in your rookie season, a lot to be proud of already and its only just begun. I think we'll have a hard time saying no to coming back for the RIDE next year. Awesome event all around! -Brando |

Re: [NE FIRST] 2014 Rhode Island District Event
I found a video of Finals 3 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhoE...Ek4 uNr4vzK2D
It also looks like most of Friday's webcast is archived here: http://new.livestream.com/nefirst/ri-ride Is there any chance of Saturday's matches being archived as well? Unfortunately it doesn't look like the first link has all matches archived. RIDE was phenomenally run in a great venue with great people. Everything you'd want out of an event, really. We had a great time down there. |
