Yep! I just don't have the dates!
Just giving what I know because Katie is specifically looking for the actual dates of the competitions and had listed that she only needed the dates for 2003 through 2005. Katie and I are working together on the project, though on two separate portions, so I know what's going on.

Also, just to ask everyone who posted the years only, if you could also post the specific dates, ie. month/day/year, I know that Katie would greatly appreciate it!

Ooops.

Sorry, I didn't understand the request.

Here is what I have right now, and I will look for the actual date of the 2001 Bash.

Past Bash@theBeach Dates
Saturday October 26, 2002
Saturday September 20, 2003
Saturday October 2, 2004

and it looks like
Saturday October 8, 2005

Do I understand that you are not looking for info any earlier than 2001?

Thanks,
Matt

There was a mini competition demonstration at Robo Nexus this year (I dont know how long they've done a FIRST presentation, though).

Rumble at the Rock (1997)

Rumble at the Rock was at least 1996(Hurricane at the Rock in my profile), 1997 and 1998, I know because I went to all three of them as part of 176

Cool idea for FIRST history!

Only happened once (2004) so far -- just a demonstration, no scoreboards, no set alliances, no ranks, just publicity for FIRST.

Wow, I'm suprised nobody from my team replied sooner....anywho we are on PARC VIII this year and we started in 1998. I don't have the dates readily available, but PARC is always the day before Mothers' Day. Thanks to the others who have provided some of the dates for PARC!

Actually, we are looking for dates for any and all off-seasons as far back as possible. I'm not sure If Katie has the information for the earlier ones yet. Hopefully she can clarify that later.

I have a request too. With the project we're working on, I'm collecting data from some official FIRST events. I don't need information about Regionals, Championships, or Kick Offs, but would like to ask for any dates from other official FIRST events such as Founder's and Chairman's Receptions. I already have the dates for the 2003 Chairman's Reception and the 2005 Founder's Reception. If you can provide the names and dates for any events, please post them! I will be very grateful. Thanks!

So that would be 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

We've Grown from 7 teams in 2000 to 28 teams last year in 2004!!

Our 2005 Ramp Riot will be held on either 10/29/05 or 11/5/05. We are trying to lock down the date with NASA.

You can check out pictures of past competitions here----> www.team341.com
