Assuming their are 33 qualification matches. In a perfect world we would be playing on a 6 minute match schedule. That's fairly quick for most regionals. But more importantly everyone makes the elimination rounds. So we're all guaranteed another 2 matches.

On that note, A broken robot in the elimination rounds will massive burden. No backup robots are available.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

Update 3!
Quote:
FIRST Fall Fiesta – Update #3
Practise Field Open
Victoria Park Collegiate Institute is inviting teams to practice at the venue this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4-8pm. Teams who participate will be allowed to leave their robots at the school until the Saturday event. The venue has a three quarter practice field with a truss and high goals! Contact Bruce Garrett (teacher) for scheduling your team for practice. Bruce.garrett@tdsb.on.ca
Match Seating and Viewing
Teams are asked to be considerate with regard to the limited seating. We have approximately 350 bleacher seats which gives each team about 12 seats. To compensate, we have the cafeteria overflow area where there will be a live video feed to show the matches in real-time. This area will hold up to 500 hundred people and will have a large screen display of all matches.
Schedule
7:00 a.m. Doors Open
8:00 Drivers Meeting
8:20 Announcements & Anthem
8:30 Qualification Matches (7 matches each)
12:00 Lunch
1:00 Celebrity Match & Alliance Selections
2:00 Elimination Matches
4:00 Awards (some may be interspersed between final matches)
5:00 Wrap Up & tear down

Celebrity Match
We are thrilled to feature a Celebrity Match which provides an opportunity for students to work collaboratively with senior school board officials in a STEM challenge. The match will also highlight females as leaders in Robotics. We ask that all teams ensure they are back early from lunch to support the Celebrity Match.
Important Reminders
• Pits are sized at 8’ x 8’, each will have a table ***no power
• Batteries will be in a separate room from the pits
• Load In 6-8pm Friday Oct 31

Looking good, Im really happy that there will be practice available. Would have been nice to hear about it earlier, but im not complaining. 5031 will most likely be there on Thursday to do final tweaks on the new and improved robot.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

Here's a teaser for what 5031 is now capable of, without giving much away. The board is the height of the bottom of the high goal. See you all at the event, and maybe practice on Thursday evening.

Awesome work guys! Looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

5031 and 865 both dropped our bots off last night at Victoria Park. 1815's robot was already there, as was 4914. We will probably be practicing after 4:00 today, and look forward to dialing in our new setup.

Anyone else planning to come play today?

Yeah it was announced kind of last minute, the night before we were going to practice with another team, causing our practice schedule to be flipped on it's head. BUT I would rather have our drive team play on vic park's 3/4 field than on a small piece of carpet. So although it caused a lot of last minute decisions, Our team is very grateful.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

4476 had a great time at the Fall Fiesta and would like to thank all the planners who were involved! The event was well run and our team had a ton of fun.

Thanks to our alliance partners 865 and especially 2056 for being patient and helping us out with our robot failures as the eliminations progressed. All 2056 members were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and it was an honor to have worked with you guys. Clearly our robot has seen better days, and I only wish we were executing nearly as well as we were at any of our in-season events.

Congrads to 4946, 1285 (1241), 746. 4946 you were on fire with all those quick trusses and i'm sure you guys will be a force to be reckoned with for the 2015 season. 1241 you guys just keep getting better every year it's always a pleasure to be on the field with you guys, no matter what side of the glass we are on. Your drive team is incredibly gracious and supportive in all that you do. 746! Congrads on the win! I hope you guys use this win as motivation to keep pushing and do even better for the 2015 season.

Re: TDSB FIRST Fall Fiesta Canadian Off-season Event

It was an incredible event for one hosted out of a public school and 5036 is extremely thankful to all those involved, it couldn't be better. To the awesome volunteers, who helped us find a new Digital Sidecar after ours fried in QF1-1, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Congratulations to 1285, 4946, and 746. Thanks to 4946 for helping us out and practising with us the eve of the competition. You guys are amongst one of my favourite rookies and it'd be amazing to see how you progress next year!

Do you know if the full field version's are/will be made available? Two manned cameras are great but we don't get all of the action.
