Re: New Offseason FRC Event – In China!!

We're here in Shenzhen. It's a long trip to get here - left home about 5:15 AM Thursday to drive to Chicago. The flight is 15 1/2 hours and we were held up at the gate for 2 hours for repairs - so we were on the plane for 17 1/2 hours. Arrived in Hong Kong about 8:00 PM Friday. (China is 13 hours ahead.) Had to go through the line for immigration into Hong Kong, then a ride to the border with mainland China and immigration into mainland China, then the drive to the hotel and finally got into our hotel rooms around midnight.

Here are a couple of pics. The venue is the basketball arena that was built for the 2011 University Games.

I don't know why but seeing the FIRST Field in white instead of just metal looks really nice, and I personally would love to see it in person

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Never been to China, but we are looking forward to competing there for the Asia Pacific VEX Championships in December.

Re: New Offseason FRC Event – In China!!

Our visit has been quite an experience so far for sure, Glenn. Challenges like finding proper tape (no gaffers to be found) and language aside, our hosts have been fantastic helping us help them put on this event. We will be posting pics on Facebook and on team987.com soon to add to the collage Tom has started here. Today is practice day for the 20 teams here, quals next day with alliance selection at end of day and elimination next morning (round robin affair). American teams will not select each other for elims...

BTW, driving around is the experience of a life-time...poor pedestrians in China do NOT have the right of way

Re: New Offseason FRC Event – In China!!

We completed 10 practice matches yesterday. Overall things went well - all robots got onto the field at least once which was pretty amazing all things considered. Had some minor problems such as teams changing bridge settings after they were encrypted.

A few pics from yesterday. A couple of the English translations on the sponsor banner are amusing. The trophies are really good looking! The building in the last image is a long distance shot I took from the top of a hill behind the hotel.

Re: New Offseason FRC Event – In China!!

We had a brief rain delay - there was a leak in the roof right above the scorers table.

A really fantastic day today. Completed all the qualifying matches. Eliminations rounds are in the morning. I'll write more later.
