WRRF and Northern California FIRST Robotics Teams!

The 2006 Cal Games Planning Committee is thrilled to announce the return of the most anticipated Bay Area off-season robotics competition, the 2006 WRRF California Robot Games! Take out your calendar and mark this event down - you don't want to miss this opportunity to prepare your team for the 2007 season!

The When: Cal Games 2006-- weekend of October 27 and 28. Registration, inspection, field and pit setup on Friday; competition on Saturday.

The Where: Cal Games will be held in Pioneer High School at 1290 Blossom Hill Road, San Jose, CA.

The What: Cal Games 2006 will be a replay of the FIRST Robotics 2006 Aim High game.

We need your help! Cal Games is a community event, we need everyone in the Bay Area FIRST community to join the Cal Games Planning Committee to help put the competition together over the course of the summer! The Cal Games Planning Committee is open for all to join, whether you are a student or an adult. So think about what kind of event you want, what side events, what awards, what speakers, what displays, and come speak your mind at the summer meetings!

A NEW Registration process: This year's registration process includes a Tiered registration system on a first-come-first-served basis, with a $500 registration fee plus a $100 support deposit. The support deposit will be refunded after CalGames 2006 if that club puts in a significant amount of volunteer time, at the event. The set-up and take-down activities take a lot of willing bodies. So, plan to get the $100 back for your club by volunteering that day.

There will be a Cal Games kickoff meeting in June. Information regarding the meeting date, time, and location, will be sent out shortly. It is vital we obtain contact information for your team: send emails to Ken and Ceal below to confirm the email addresses we have for your team!

Inform everyone on your team about this event, and think about what you and your team can do to help. If you have any immediate questions, please feel free to make contact with:
