WRRF 2007 Events Announcement

[Ceal Craig]

The WRRF BOD met last night and we've set up a tentative schedule for CalGames 2007 and WRRF workshops for this fall (yep, starting early this year!) . The dates below are subject to change; goal is to announce these to the WRRF community, get feedback, make changes *if required*, and announce full calendar no later than May 1.

** CalGames 2007
October 19-20, location TBD

** Workshops
September 22 and December 1, location (s) TBD

WRRF BOD is seeking locations and a bid request will be sent out later this weekend to community@wrrf.org and to team key contacts known to us. The RFP (Request for Proposal) will list a series of questions for the interested school/organization (size of facilities, etc. etc. etc.) I'll try to post the document here a little later if folks are interested.

Interested schools/groups should email ceal@wrrf.org or join community@wrrf.org

Best regards to all!

The following message is from Ceal Craig:

Hello teams!!

We'll say more in future weeks on the outstanding success of so many Bay
Area teams in the recent FIRST regional competitions, but suffice it to say;
we have some great teams here, don't we! <G>

Today's message is about CalGames 2007. As we mentioned in early March,
planning is moving forward for CalGames 2007. We are seeking bids for
hosting schools/groups interested in hosting the WRRF event in mid-October.

So far, two teams have expressed interest in hosting. We do plan to review
the bids on April 30 at a WRRF BOD meeting and send an announcement on time
an place around May 1. Thus, if your team/school/group is interested, we
need to hear this NOW.

Please reach out to me ASAP if you are interested in hosting CalGames 2007.

WRRF BOD Secretary/Treasurer

What general area is it being held in? I want to try to get my team to go up.

CalGames is usually held in Silicon Valley / SF Bay Area.

Although we are still in the location bidding process, here is the location for previous year's Cal Games to give you a better idea of where the event might be held this year:

2000-2001: Evergreen community college (San Jose Area)
2002: Pioneer High School (San Jose Area)
2003-2004: Woodside High School (approximately 30 miles south of San Francisco)
2006: Pioneer High School (San Jose Area)

Has there been any discussion of modifying the rules?

More points for autonomous, no penalty for ramps-on-tubes, alternative ways to score , ect...

Just to clarify and make sure there is no confusion, the new date and new location for Cal Games has now been announced in this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=57467

Please direct all discussion there!
