Team 1700 is very excited to compete in Arizona Regional this year - it's our first time at this event and we are all looking forward to meeting everyone.

We're wondering if any Arizona team would be willing to help us with shipping? Usually FIRST gives us a drayage location to ship to but this year, they are telling us they can't guarantee we can use it at this time. So they suggested we ask a local Arizona team if they would be able to receive our crate and help us transport it to the competition site.

Thanks so much! Good luck to everyone for the last few days of the build season!

Hi Team 1700,

2486 would happily like to provide a place to ship your robot for the 2015 AZ East regional. We live in Flagstaff, Arizona, roughly 2 hours north of the venue. However we'd be happy to drive your robot down to the venue early Thursday morning. We can be reached at fusd1robotics@gmail.com . Can't wait to see you there!

don't give them another reason to win chairmans The firebirds are excited to show off the robot we have this year! Its a promising year!

Hey everyone,

We are really excited for this week and can't wait to compete. I just have one question. According to the agenda for the AZ East Regional it states that there is a load in period Wednesday night from 6-8pm. We have never brought our robot during this time (we usually do it Thursday since Wednesday is a school night) so my question is: During this time period are we allowed to bring just are robot, or all our supplies? I'm trying to determine how big a vehicle we need to transport everything. Thanks for your help.

[MrForbes]

Normal procedure (at most regionals, including AZ) is to let you bring your bagged robot, and all the equipment/supplies/COTS parts/withheld (fabricated) parts in to the venue, and leave them in your pit. But you can't set anything up at all, you can just leave it there.

Be sure to bring the robot lockup form (put it in an envelope, taped to the bag, to help you remember it!) so the Robot Inspectors can check and sign it, so you will be able to get to work on your robot right away Thursday when the pits open to teams at 8:30

Are there any plans of a webcast? I'm hoping to make it Saturday, but won't be there Friday.

I'm not sure about the webcast but 842 plans on recording the field with a high quality camera and uploading it here like last year: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn8...rzPkH6A/videos

Depending on connection speed, the plan is to upload right after every match but no promises.

Awesome, from what I remember last year those uploads were very helpful with scouting.
