Comments anybody?

Are we so well known that we only need a name and not a number?? Nice.

If I am not mistaken, the Gym is to the right of that top picture, and that big hole/basement is where a parking lot used to be and most of us used to park..

That is (or was) the parking lot that most people parked in. They did build a new lot (Higgins House Lot) to replace that one, and theres a couple other lots that you can park in (the West St. and Library lots), not as close as the quad but not too far of a walk either. I'm not saying WPI doesn't have parking issues - but there shouldn't be very many in the middle of June.

Anyone else interested in one of these nifty name tags. I'll be wearing one.

Sorry about the double post, but...

SitRep #3 has been posted here!

Less than 24 hours to go!

[Francis-134]

I don't know about you all, but I'm pretty excited!

[KathieK]

There will be a NEMO meeting tonight (Friday) from 7-7:30 p.m. at BattleCry at a location to be posted at the registration table.

NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) is open to all college and adult mentors who work with travel, fundraising, public relations, mentor recruitment and retention, teambuilding, etc. It was created to foster friendships, exchange ideas and voice concerns. NEMO publishes white papers (some good ones for pre-rookie and rookie teams), and hosts workshops.

Please pass this along to the mentors on your team. We encourage each team at BattleCry to be represented at the meeting. Come prepared with your team's top three concerns!

There seem to be a lot of CD people going but no official webhug set up. I know it is kind of late notice but if others want I was thinking the best time would be tonight as soon as the dinner break starts (approx. 6:30). If the field is set up similar to last year then it will be easy for the people from the stands or pit to get to the field, so I'm thinking we could just meet on whichever side of the field is closer to the stands. Let me know if this works (or doesn't) for anyone else. I will be leaving today around 1:30 so if nobody has come up with a better place/time then I will print out some posters to put around WPI.

edit:there won't be any awards or anything like the nationals one - its just a chance to meet one another. I know I won't be able to see everyone that I want to there without some sort of official gathering so I thought this would work - if a few people could reply or PM me saying yes or no then I would know whether or not to do flyers and such.

EDIT 2: due to no responses I will just take a quick look there at 6:30 to see if anyone is there - I also didn't really leave enough time to make flyers or anything. I will be wearing a nametag from championships so if you see me please say hi.

BattleCry!

“Attack!” cried the Duct Tape Bandits (467) as they charge down the hill in Gael Force (126) winds.

“Sir there’s no way we can put the PARTS (42) of this cannon together brought to us by the Trinity Pioneers (40) from Blackstone Valley (61),”said the JESTER (96), “its utter CHAOS (131).” The Birds of Prey (181) were circling overhead waiting for the battle to begin just as The Bobcats (177), the Bulldogs (1685), and The Tigertrons (222) were waiting in the foothills.

Thusly, the greatest battle of the off-season was about to begin. Gompei and the HERD (190) were banking on the Aztechs (157) and the Rhode Warriors (121) to show up and help them out of their predicament while the bandits hoped the Mechanical Marauders (271) would reinforce their attack. The HERD had started assembling the cannon but seemed short of a few Techno-nuts (155). Meanwhile a RAGE (173) had overtaken the bandits as they renewed there efforts on the magical gate built by the TechnoWizards (809) and The Dorks (1687). The newly arrived marauders tried to SPARK (563) a fire on the magic gate but it would not light. Unexpectedly Team MAX (1071) showed up and using a Kaizen Blitz (1276) tactic let loose even more Mechanical Mayhem (1519). Sie-H20-Bots showed up and tried to douse the mayhem but were quickly counterattacked by SciClones (596) created by the Robonauts (663) who had shown up in the Navigator (1686), their new ship. An Overclocked (246) Team GUS (228) and the Cruisin Crusaders (238) showed up. Meanwhile the Bandits had broken through the gate and taken a Buzz (175) saw to the still half built cannon. Team Paragon (571) and the Mechanicatz (1568) arrived at dusk when the action was settling down. Who will come out on top? Tune in for the next addition after the Chop Shop (166) gives their presentation on the formula TJ2 (88).

Comments anybody?

Where's Rosie?

I don't know if this is the right thread to post this in but I will post anyway.

Where can I find all the awards (the title of the award) that was given out at Battlecry. By the way, the committee of Battlecry did a fantastic job, I was watching the webcast throughout the whole day.

A list of award names can be found at http://www.wpi.edu/News/Events/Battl...l.html#sitrep1 . Eventually we'll update the team names that the awards were given to.

A very big thank you to Ken and all the staff that volunteered to organize and work at BattleCry6 - we thoroughly enjoyed the event!

[Ian Curtis]

Also, I am not sure if this is the right thread but it makes the most sense to put it here. Can anyone tell me
1. Who the top 14 seeds picked for their alliance partner.
2. What the elimination tree looked like at the end of the day (ie who lost when.)

I was there but didn't record any of it and need it to score the FF leagues.
