I don't know.

But I'll hazard a guess: 2009 FRC control system / programming tools?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: 2008 Championship Pit Map

Wow, I just noticed the intersection between public traffic and robot traffic lanes. Make sure you all leave early enough before your matches to allow time to move at a safe speed. I'm hoping for no robot/human collisions this year!

The robot lanes and pedestrian paths don't cross since the robot lanes are on a lower level than the pedestrian path...

The blue FRC robot path and the green FLL/FTC public traffic path would be on the same level. Crossing guard, anyone?

FLL/FTC traffic is marked in red, not green.

Re: 2008 Championship Pit Map

The public path, access to Hall B, is in green. That's the cross-traffic I meant.

Labview... & more I'm guessing.

They have a lot of academic products.
Maybe something new even.

Re: 2008 Championship Pit Map

Recent Dome/GWCC updates, from a volunteer conference call:
  • Some portions of the complex remain under construction and will be blocked off.
  • Dome repairs are essentially complete.
  • Most of Bldg C is complete
  • Parts of Bldg B are open, parts closed
  • Bldg A is closed.

There will be volunteers posted where paths cross (FRC vs FTC/FLL, FRC vs public access to Hall B, etc.) This will require cooperation, and may result in some small delays. Don't be working on your robot in the pits so long that you can't get to the field on time for your matches!

Re: 2008 Championship Pit Map

For those of you that have been going to Nationals for a while, Do you know where the Hospitality section is on this map?

Also, do you know how long SolidWorks sister company DS Falcon has been sponsoring FIRST?

Thank you

Marie

Re: 2008 Championship Pit Map

Hello, I'm from a rookie all-star team, so I've never been to Atlanta. I am curious how this usually works out... I heard it was a long walk from the pits to the arena.
And like DhavalP, I wonder when the team numbers will come out : )
How are we usually ordered? Will rookies be mixed up with the veterans?

I'm guessing you mean how are the teams organized within the division pit areas. As far as I know, they're random, so I'd guess you'd be mixed up with other people.

If you're on the drive team, it only takes a few minutes to get to the field floor... however, if you're not... yes it takes about 10~15 minutes to get to the stadium.

Oh... by the way... welcome to Archemedes. If you need anything or just want a bit of human contact, come on over to the pit with the big highlighter yellow 1024 over it, or any other of our fine teams.

AR-CHE-ME-DES!

Actually, unlike the regional pits, the teams are arranged in numerical order within the divisions at Atlanta. With 85+ teams in each division, hundreds of pit maps would be needed for scouts, judges, inspectors, drive teams, etc. That's not practical, so for convenience, the teams are not "randomized".

Perhaps rookie teams are at a slight disadvantage in this pit arrangement, but at this stage, they're not really "rookies" anymore. They've not only been to at least one regional, but they've proved themselves as good FIRST teams (regional winners or rookie all-stars).

The Archimedes field is at the far corner of the dome, and it takes several more minutes to get there from the entrance. In 2004 I consistently made the trip from stands to pits in just under fifteen minutes. If I waited for the score to be shown, the robot got back before I did.
