Trust me when I say they have many new tubes from the championship. The tubes that were given away were ones that were "already inflated" or "popped". There are still brand new ones out there still in the packaging. Just not many - which is why this and other off-season events need extra tubes - b/c FIRST is giving each off-season event an equal amount which may not be enough to cover the events entirely. After reading the last couple of posts I'm kinda surprised that FIRST is not sending any tubes with the field. Ponders what happend to the "special stock". Only those working at Atlanta as Field Repair / Reset know what I'm talking about.


What do you need as far as volunteers are concerned?

I keep getting an Invalid Input when I submit the volunteer form - I tried 2 different emails. Am I missing anything? I'll just email my request to save the headaches =).

Try using IE. That's what Conor generally recomends.

ugh I was having problems with MSIE so I uninstalled it =( darn firefox for being so picky. Let me try on a different computer.

I'll be at Monty without my team this year but with a few friends.
w00t!
So that pretty much that means I'm looking for a team to adopt me for the day, or Conor or Aroon & the rest of 1403, if you need any help at all (unofficially of course. ) then just come seek me out.

7 days OMG!!! YAY!!!

Also to anyone attending, I have a bunch of 237 T-Shirts to trade for some XL's for myself.
PM me before then to reserve one.

See you all there!

FVC3053 will be there for the FVC Demo/Competition (which one it is more like really depends on how many teams show up). We'll be bringing our competition robot, and when we're not competiting/demoing with it, anyone can come on over and take a turn controlling it. Additionally our team has built to two additional Vex robots for people to use all day. Please stop by the FVC area and enjoy!

So when are the volunteers going to get their assignments?

and

An added bonus, Monty Madness has a few more tricks up its sleeve. Some tricks that will make people say .... "Where do they come up with this stuff?". I guarantee you, the brains behind this event want to make it one of the most memorable events you have ever been to. And once you find out what we have in store... it will be.

So what is the BIG secret?

haha yea. Looks like me and Sean will be coming form 237 miles away. I think thats really not bad for an off-season event.
And to elaborate on Elgins message; I did sign up for volunteering and would love to help in any way possible. 75? 1403?
These guys have put in soo much effort into this event, and I really wouldn't mind helping these great teams.

You'll find out soon.

Occam's Engineers has a very small secret which now no longer needs to be one:

Today VexLabs introduced new Advanced Gear Kits and Large Omni-Directional Wheel Kits. We got sent the parts a few days early and have built two robots to show off the new parts. Pictures were posted on this forum, they'll be up as soon as they are approved.

The robots were built with the sole intention of having people come over and take a turn driving them around. So please do!

I don't have any shirts to trade, but if people let me know. I'd be more than willing to trade movie posters for shirts...provided you tell me which ones you want so I can get them.

Umm.. Odd, but interesting offer none-the-less.

Got any Shrek the Third, Pirates (At World's End), or Ratatouille posters? lol

And what size shirt would you need?

If possible I'd need a XXL, and I do believe I have all three of those posters that you want.
