MORT is registered and can't wait to see everyone.

And it looks like we'll be seeing even more of our Archimedes buddies!

EDIT: Just a question: how many of you guys change drivers for off seasons? I'm well aware that most teams use off seasons to train drivers but who here isnt doing that? I for one know our performance won't be the same as it was in Atlanta with some of the Juniors driving. lol...It may not be a pretty site.

teams 270 and 1989 have registered. Keep 'em coming!

A bunch of us from Team 1403 were going to come and volunteer. Is there Anyone from around Montgomery, Princeton or Hillsborough Twnshps that could give us a ride?

If not I'll just bug the hell out of my parents, how far is PARC from Montgomery any1 know?

you drive and drive until you see the end of the Earth and then make a left- just watch out for the deer in the road. Be sure to leave a will.

Honestly- 3 - 3 1/2 hrs or so

Make sure you also take the right to stay on Route 309 or else you are going to drive around Harveys Lake for what seems like forever. I did that one night years ago and this was the conversation I had to have the next day:

Dave "How was your drive up?"
Me: "I got lost and ended up driving all the way around some huge lake"
Dave laughing : "Ha Ha, you didn't bear right on 309. Everyone does that!"

Just 1 week till this amazing event, and we still have 12 open spots.

Team 270 is so excited for the event, we cant wait to come.

We wanted to know if people would like to put up some information about their robots that are comming so we can get our scouting done before the event even starts.

Here are some specs on our robot:
Can hurdle
~8ft/sec
1 line in autonomous mode using hybrid remote
4 wheel tank drive
can knock ball off the over pass

Any information from any other team will help.
Thanks, Team 270

Good idea I know we won't have any sort of scout team available for off seasons this year as well.

Robot Specs:
Hurdle 4-5 consistently
Mecanum drive
up to 3 lines in hybrid
NJ regional finalists
Chesapeake regional champions
Archimedes #1 seed- semifinalists

Do keep in mind that we always use new drivers for off season events though

Hope that's useful
See you guys there!

EDIT: I will try to remember to bring our scouting data from NJ, Chesapeake, and Atlanta for anyone who wants to look at it. A lot of the teams here were present at those events so I will compile a team list once the final list for PARC is out.. Feel free to drop by our pit and just ask for Akash or to look at the scouting sheets

Here is our robot brochure. Hope this helps with scouting.
