Re: Any Off Season Events in Oregon

Based on this part of the FIRST website, there are two on the same weekend in October in Oregon. http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr.../calendar/list

Re: Any Off Season Events in Oregon

Yeah but it would be sweet if someone started an off season event that occurred during the summer and uses this years robot

Re: Any Off Season Events in Oregon

Well, you would still use this year's robot in an October event, right?

Unless that competition does something strange, offseasons in October still play Aerial Assist.

It is possible that he is referring to BunnyBots. I know that this is a big deal in Oregon.

Re: Any Off Season Events in Oregon

Yes, the October events we host, Girls' Generation and Rookie Rumble are Aerial Assist and are held October 11th and 12th. We hold them during the school year in order to to get NEW members energized about the season to come. Things are pretty quiet around Oregon competition-wise in the summer.

The rules for BunnyBots, our pre-season FRC-class competition with a different game, will be announced Sept 1st. That competition is Dec 20th.

I know it doesn't quite fit the bill as a summer offseason but our team really does enjoy BunnyBots and I would recommend trying it. It's a much more relaxed schedule, and it's an opportunity to take risks that you might not want to in the regular competition season. For example, having totally unpracticed drivers? Not a big deal. Don't really feel like scouting? Don't worry about it. The strategies are still evolving at alliance selection. Having somebody new design a critical component? You have enough time for a couple extra revs. And if stuff doesn't work, oh well. You've got the regular season ahead of you.

And if you want more information you should probably message Dale Yocum, who has conveniently already posted in this thread.

Re: Any Off Season Events in Oregon

Create one for next summer! Not only are offseason competitions amazing for developing pre-rookies, rookies, veteran members, and new drivers, but they also provide a great opportunity for fund raising and teaching training workshops for teams in the area. Offseason competitions are a great resource for developing the level of competition in your district.

Re: Any Off Season Events in Oregon

Washington FIRST Robotics the non-profit organization tasked with running the PNW FRC district does have two official FRC fields and game specific field elements for Aerial Assist and 1 full set of electronics. They are available to teams in the PNW district to host their own off-season event. If anyone is interested you can PM me and I'll help you sort out the details. We may also consider requests from teams outside of the PNW district. Note because we have a single FMS and electronics it will need to work around the events that have already be scheduled or are already in the planning stages.

Re: Any Off Season Events in Oregon

FIRSTfare, our region's big conference for FRC teams, is being held at Gladstone High in the Portland Metro area Oct 27th. That gives new and returning members an overview of a wide range of topics. Beyond that each team has their own method for getting people up to speed. That's also what BunnyBots is for.

Re: Any Off Season Events in Oregon

Are the presenters in First Fare generally students or mentors?

I haven't actually been there myself but I would guess it's generally mentors, given that I know one of our mentors presented there last year and that their speaker signup on their website asks for your profession. Could somebody who has been there confirm?
