Not necessarily. Could be two kids and one adult, three adults, or three kids as well. Just depends on who you guys decide to send in. FIRST has made no official ruling on makeup of the Wednesday night crew. (Note: Don't leave until you are done. You won't be able to get back in if you do.)

Although teams that show up without the correct tools may feel kind of silly, they can usually borrow crate-opening tools from another team.

What's really a problem is using a lock to secure your crate, but then forgetting the key!

Having a "What to Bring" checklist, and using it routinely, can help prevent these kinds of embarrassing moments at competitions. So far, I think we've discussed the following for crate-opening time:

--3 team members
--tool(s) and/or key for opening the crate
--safety glasses

Re: Championships for dummies

I haven't read this whole thread but I'm interested in doing some partnership scouting in Atlanta. We (team 537) has an amazing system that we are willing to share and all we ask is for other teams to fill out some forms while they watch a match and we can share our scouting reports.

If you are interested email me. mweinand@wi.rr.com

Thanks!

-Mike

If we happen to end up in the same division most definitely, and if not should either of our teams make it to the finals I'm willing to share whatever important information we have. Our team's scouts are somewhat unorganized but they are still very good and can tell you whatever you need to know about your opponents. we are going to be bringing around 8 scouts with us and Ill PM or e-mail you my contact info so that we can possibly collaborate should this idea pass with my team's scouts.

Smile Re: Championships for dummies

If there are any smaller/newer teams who are having trouble scouting either because they don't have the man power or they don't know quite what to do, who would like to come to us for help or even work with us, we would be open to that. We sometimes also have a bit of a man power problem. Obviously we have a well established scouting system, but we are willing to help any one else along with that, and again possibly work with a team who needs help. PM me if you are interested in anything. And anyone who needs help can come see the people with the giant yellow smiles (Team 175) in the stands.

I noticed today that FIRST has made a new addition to the Championship menu: now teams can preorder lunches!

Wednesday night setup specifics

Our team did not go to the championship last year. We are excited about the wednesday night uncrating. It would be nice to move in all our stuff then. Help out the Thursday morning jam.

Did they let anyone at least move their stuff into the pits?

Re: Championships for dummies

From the Manual: "7.4.2 Championship Agenda
Limited Pit opening on Wednesday night from 6 to 9 p.m. (3 persons per team to uncrate team robot and charge batteries only. This is not a work session)"

I don't believe you can do anything but that. Uncrate and charge batteries. No setting up pits, no working on robots. The intent is to help them get some of the crates out of the way on Wed night.

So, I take it that if you want to keep your crate their as a work area, it's not worth uncrating early wednesday night then?

On Wednesday, the three people who uncrate the robot could bring in as much tools / materials / stuff as they could carry in on one trip. For ease of carrying, they do allow you to put your stuff on dolly carts as you bring it in on Wednesday. But once you enter the pits and then leave, they will not let you back in. Anything that is not brought in on Wednesday evening can be brought in on Thursday morning.

so...if someone wins a scholarship, do they notify them so that they can be at the championships? or more importantly, so that it can affect their college decision?
