Re: 2014 Texas Robot Roundup
Hi Keith!
We haven't finalized those plans yet as we won't be opening up 2nd robot registration until July 1st when regular registration "closes" (and that's if we still have spots available). For your planning purposes, we would not go above the $350 regular registration fee. Sorry I don't have an official answer, but I hope that helps! |

Does anyone know if any hotels are offering discounts for TRR?

Re: 2014 Texas Robot Roundup
I've been finalizing negotiations with several hotels at varying distances from the convention center. I had hoped to have that information ready for teams at the end of last week, but am still waiting on final details and links for those hotels. Hoping to have an email out to you all by the end of this week with that information and other event details. Thanks so much for your patience.

Re: 2014 Texas Robot Roundup
Email sent out to Registered TRR Teams:
We're excited to host you all in Austin in less than two months for the 4th Texas Robot Roundup! We still have lots of work to do to prepare for what we hope to be another great event, but we have some important pieces of information to share with you. Schedule: We have a tentative schedule posted to the website. Please go to trr.txfirst.org/schedule to review the schedule. Some specific details are still subject to change. However, we request that all robots and drive teams arrive by 11am on Friday, August 1st. This way, we can get a finalized match list ready for teams before lunch for the start of mandatory qualification matches in the afternoon. Hotels: I've been working with hotels to try to get some block rates for teams. The process has been delayed for a variety of reasons, but I finally have some details for you. Please go to trr.txfirst.org/hotels for specifics. I'll be populating the page with additional reservation links as I get them early next week. Registration & Fees: We presently have just 3 open spots and 2 reserved spots left for TRR. If you know of a team that is interested in competing, please be sure to direct them to trr.txfirst.org. You can find an up-to-date team list at trr.txfirst.org/teamlist. Should spots still be available after July 1st, we'll make announcements about options for 2nd robots or other opportunities. As a reminder, please send in your $350 registration fee by July 1st. FIRST in Texas may be able to provide funding to qualified teams. They will be in touch soon. Workshops: If your team or team representatives are interested in attending or running any workshops, trainings, panels, or meetings, please complete this survey: http://goo.gl/ct8GTk FLL & FTC at TRR: We're hoping to have an FLL demo and FTC scrimmage at TRR for the first time. The FTC scrimmage is dependent on securing several key volunteers to manage matches. If your team has experience running FTC events and is interested in assisting, please let me know. Additionally, if you have an FTC team who would be interested in competing, send me an email. We're looking to have 12 to 18 FTC teams. We're still finalizing a registration process and fee, which would be no more than $100 and may also qualify for FiT grants. Other Details: I quickly want to address a few common questions:
As always, please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing many of you at T.R.I. and RoboReboot over the next few weekends and at TRR later this summer! Last edited by jessjank. : 13-06-2014 at 15:45. |
