Re: Archi-medes!

W00t. Today was my last day of school. Now I just have to sit here til around four when my dad gets here to get the stuff we are taking down. I am really pretty excited for Atlanta. Our division this year seems like it has some of the coolest people in FIRST. I had two extra team shirts but two people claimed them already.

Same here, I used to do it in the build season but since it's over I stopped. Now I'm hoping I can still do it, lol.

That's a lot of 24's. Maybe we can make an awesome 4-team alliance and add 1124 in the mix, just to get another 24 in there.

Like many of us, she got bit by the "FIRST bug" at her very first FIRST event, has been working to get this film made to tell the world more about FIRST ever since. The film is a documentary of the experiences that the teams actually go through as they design and build their robots, compete, and come together as teams. To do this, the film crews are following Team 1868 (Space Cookies - Newton Division), Team 1583 (Rambotics - not attending Championship) and Team 1583 (Kekoa E Haaheo - Archimedes Division).

Most already know about the current PBS show that is also being filmed by Story House Productions this year. The "Superbowl OF Smarts" film should be a very complimentary piece that is going after a different audience. The PBS piece will be shown exclusively on PBS broadcast television, and the "Superbowl Of Smarts" film is targeted at theatrical release, to be shown at independent movie theatres and film festivals. Together they will reach a broader audience than either effort would alone, and help tell the "FIRST story" to a much larger portion of the public.

Team 116 and NASA are funding a bit chunk of the production as part of our outreach efforts. Based on some of the B-roll footage and very early cuts that I have seen so far, the film will do a lot to show off the talents and skills of all the participating teams. But more important, it should be a great tool to have when we are all trying to answer the question "so what is FIRST all about, anyway?"

Thanks for the added info Dave! I forgot to mention the NASA support given to the film. I didn't know it involved your team as well - Mahalo! Kim, Ashley and the whole crew are great people who are dedicating so much of their lives to get this whole experience on film. Again, we feel honored to be selected as one of the three they're following. BTW, Kekoa O' Haaheo (or "Warrior Pride" as translated from Hawaiian into English) is team 2024 not 1583 as mentioned in Dave's post. I honestly believe they could have followed any three teams because everyone involved has a story to tell that is just as interesting as the next. Our story is we basically build our robot in the backyard shop of our one and only engineer mentor with a band saw and drill press on an Island in the middle of the Pacific with no industrial base. We only got our first Home Depot two years ago....man did it change our lives! In spite of the meager surroundings we've had great success on and, more importantly to me, off the field. Aloha

Silly typo on my part. Fixed (accidently referenced 1583 twice). Thanks! See you in Atlanta!

no problemo Dave! It was great seeing you all over the Hawaii Regional...thanks for all your support! We'll be bringing our 1 cubic inch and cubic centimeter robot to Atlanta if anyone wants to stop by our pit and see them. We competed in Japan in November at the International Microbot contest. Imagine how it feels to pull your robots out of a mayo jar.....awesome!

Hey! Team 223 in the curie division and are looking to align with a team from each division for scouting. With a small group like ours, it is difficult to scout in all four divisions.
With a team in each division, we can all share our scouting information when it comes time for pairings. If your team is interested or has further questions, feel free to e-mail me at kazzykaty@aol.com.

Umm just out of curiousity why would you need other divisions scouting info unless you get on Einstein? You're welcome to use 816's if you can find me though.

I will stop by for sure! It's not every day that you can see microbots up close. Do you mind if I shower your robot with photos also? I'm the guy who takes too many photos at competitions.

Re: Archi-medes!

WOOT...Team 1261 has to go to school all the way up until Thursday...and part of our team has to stay in school until Friday...

It all goes well..i should be welcoming people to our pits on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

For ur scouting sheets, I just returned from a practice session and Team 1261 can easily do 2 laps in hybrid and if we can get our controller working then we should be able to get both balls off.
