2014 Minne-Mini

Seeing as one of the last (correct me if I'm wrong) off season events of the year is fast approaching, I thought it would be appropriate to create a thread for it. I am very, very hyped for it.
Does anyone know when KingTec usually releases a list of teams that will be participating prior to the event? I know our team is going, but nothing beyond that.

Re: 2014 Minne-Mini

Team 2512 is attending, we're super pumped to compete for the last time in 2014, and introduce our new members to the feel of a competition On my first year on the team this was one of the best learning experiences, and greatest place to meet other FIRSTers. Overall, we're all really excited and can't wait for next week!

Re: 2014 Minne-Mini

King TeC recently updated the Minne-Mini page on their website to include the workshop schedule as well as rule changes.

Really excited for almost all of these rule changes, I think they will make the game more intuitive, fair, and fun for everyone.

I could see the rule changes bring up some unique strategies if teams are willing to get creative, and it's FIRST so teams will get creative. The rule changes I see that could really affect strategy are the 4 balls in autonomous and no zone requirements for assists. It'll be interesting to see if strategies from IRI will be adopted...

Re: 2014 Minne-Mini

The only rule change not added is that pedestals will be lit by a strobe light and disco ball respectively.

Nah, but four ball autonomous will be rad. As well as the G14 edit... That will be interesting.

Re: 2014 Minne-Mini

Rules look pretty similar to IRI aside from the fact that alliance selections is 1-4, 4-1, and 1-4(In IRI it was 1-8,1-8, and 8-1). Minnie Minnie looks like its going to be a great wrap up competition for aerial assist in MN.

I'm also excited about the Intro to the RoboRIO workshop that 525 is presenting on. Looks like each team is allowed 3 student reps and 1 mentor to attend that important Intro to the RoboRIO presentation by 525.

We usually have 2-3 per year that opt-out late in the game. The waiting list has grown significantly in the past couple years. To me it seems silly to cancel so late, the team should know 2 weeks in advance whether they can make it or not.

Smile Re: 2014 Minne-Mini

Although I was bummed because of the reverts on the IRI style rule changes it was still a killer finish to aerial assist. Thank you 2169 for hosting the Minnie Minnie regional once again this year! Congrats to 2846, 3883, 2169, and 3042 for winning the event. Congrats to 3313, 2175, 1816, and 3202 for being finalists. Congrats to 3883 for the Engineering outreach and Congrats to 3102 for the Team spirit award. Finally thanks to 4536, 3102, and 2472 for being excellent alliance partners with us during eliminations. Thanks to 525 for coming all the way up to prior lake from Iowa to present about the 2015 control system. I'm sure many MN teams are grateful for your Intel. Also sorry 4607 for asking you for our Red Ethernet cable when you guys returned it earlier to us. Sorry we made you guys search frantically for it when you guys already had returned it. Overall this regional was a great learning experience in many ways. Can't wait till next years Minnie Minnie regional and Workshops.
