Re: What event is your team registering for first?

For CA Los Angeles, the Walter Pyramid looks small. Does anyone know where the pits will be?

It's a 5-bball-court layout per pictures I've seen: Center, and four around it under the bleachers. All they've got to do would be to raise 2-3 of the bleachers and there's about 3 courts worth of space, with room around them; there's been some events in far smaller venues (IE in 2014 comes to mind).

If I had to guess, they'll lay it out similar to San Diego with the pits across one long side of the venue.

Re: What event is your team registering for first?

4329 will be signing up for St. Louis first, then hopefully we will make it into the Iowa Regional. We were eyeing it last year but it didn't work with our schedule and this year it's during our school's spring break.

Team 2791 is excited to be registering for the New York City Regional this afternoon! I'm looking forward to finding out where everyone else signs up.

We hope you can get to the IA regional too! I think 7 rivers will move over some of the MN teams attending, so you should be able to get in.

Re: What event is your team registering for first?

At the moment we are signing up for "none of the above". The system crashed for me at 11:01 Central time. Sigh. We hardware guys have suffered too long at the hands of Software....

Good to know I'm not the only one who experienced the crash. I'm sure all of us hitting the site every few seconds isn't helping, but I don't know how else to know when it comes up. Does this happen often?

This is frustration speaking but really this is rather unacceptable. If some can get in and others not it will impact time and money for thousands of people...

Re: What event is your team registering for first?

I hear "Runtime Error" is a popular one this year. Good thing I got in on that right at 12:00!

We're officially registered for the firstinspires.com Regional! We plan on building a really good defense bot so we can have a Direct Denial of Scoring.

So would your Direct Denial of Scoring constitute an attack on the other team? Might wanna be careful; FIRST might postpone your match to next week.

Re: What event is your team registering for first?

To get this thread back on track, after much deliberation and thought - FRC 4607 CIS will be leaving North Star and attending 10000 Lakes. From my understanding there may be a few traditionally strong teams will also join/return to the ranks of those in 10000 Lakes for 2017...

We are excited to compete with former alliance partners 2502 and 2052 as well as other teams we have never worked with before including 4536, 2500, and others!
