Week 0 events

[Tottanka]

So, what events are happening during week 0 this year and where?

303 will most likely be hosting something for MAR and anyone else who would like to come at our practice field.

[Bryce Paputa]

I've heard rumors of one using an official FiM field, don't remember where though. Maybe Kettering?

The Stormbots are hosting a Week Zero event in Chanhassen, Minnesota on Feb. 15: http://www.stormbots4778.com/week-zero.html

We have the bleachers out for student seating, the field itself, and pit space for 24 teams in our large gym. Also have access to the Chanhassen High School wood/metal shops.

FIRST Force of the Oregon Mid-Williamette valley will be hosting an unoffical (if there are any official week 0 events) Week 0 scrimmage in Corvallis Oregon.

The event will be happening at Corvallis High School
The event happens 'Week 0' Feb 14, 2015
Doors will open for load-in at 8am and the field will open at 9am.

We have planning on having the odd hours (i.e. 10, 12, ...) with open field time to allow teams to work on the field for system tuning and running matches as possible during the odd hours.

Currently this will be a 'team' field and not an official field, but will be a full size field.

Please go to the [url="http://or-firstforce.org/"]FIRST Force Web site] for more information as the season progresses and to register for the event.

Enjoy!

Would teams be invited to come from New York?

Merrimack High School in New Hampshire had one last year and I believe it was run by FIRST HQ.

That is correct and FIRST and team 166 out of Merrimack High School will be hosting the Week Zero event again this year.

If you're in the area, stay tuned for details.
