Re: [FRC Blog] 2015 Events are Being Posted!

More events have appeared today. Looks like it's the time of year when we get most venues confirmed.

Re: [FRC Blog] 2015 Events are Being Posted!

I could certainly repeat all of the various rumors I've heard (seriously... if you believe all the rumors, the 5th event started last year and is happening in 6 different locations simultaneously!), but that doesn't get us anywhere. Needless to say, though, the Regional Planning Committee is well aware of the desire and need for another regional as MN continues to grow! There are, of course, always difficulties in this sort of thing... Finding an accessible location for a sufficiently large number of teams (travel access and hotel accommodations), scheduling a venue, finding sponsors for the event, supporting it with volunteers, etc... it's no small task to start a new event somewhere!

Re: [FRC Blog] 2015 Events are Being Posted!

Judging from the Avanti's Dome calendar of events, Central Illinois could only be either week 1 or week 7...assuming it's the same venue. For reference, it was a week 1 rookie regional last year.

That sounds like a very interesting event to attend. Eagerly awaiting news on the new teleportation technology from DEKA that will make this possible.

Don't get too excited. It's probably just telepresence. Six locations, six robots -- coincidence? Not likely. Each robot will be on its own field, with five "virtual robots" representing the actions of the robots on the other five fields.

In order to get kids ready for the "real engineering world", all competitions will now be done via teleconference.

I'm a big fan of this post early stuff. The more time to plan the better.

Its more making fun of phone conferencing (no video except screen sharing presentations), and from my limited experience, it's pretty accurate.

For personal use? No. My experience has been quite positive. Google Hangout/Skype are good tools.

For business use? Yes. The first 15 minutes of every meeting is spent debugging Lync. I've had it crash at least 3 times today (in 2 meetings). There was even a long period in which Lync refused to log in (this was about 2 months) and IT couldn't do much about it.

Is this the new inter-district competition system we've been waiting for?
