Re: Mayhem in Merrimack 2008

Mayhem in Merrimack is very proud to announce that NEMO (Non-Engineering
Mentor Organization) will be offering a workshop at our competition. This
will take place in the Little Theater across from the gym starting at 9:30
AM.

NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) provides support to mentors from
FIRST programs in the non-technical areas such as mentor recruitment,
sponsors, fundraising, travel planning, team organization and team building.
Mentors are free to come and go as their responsibilities to their teams
dictate.

Please share this information with the mentors on your team. I am sure that
a lively discussion will be held. We hope to see a representative from each
team at our meeting!
Please include any parents who may be interested in helping your team.

Excerpts from the NEMO web Site:

NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization)

We deal with all the stuff that isn't rocket science!

NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) is a support group and
information exchange for those adult non-engineering mentors who help teams
as part of the FIRST robotics programs

NEMO will be open to adult mentors, including engineers, teachers and
college students (who may be the only mentors on their teams) who are
involved with all the non-engineering aspects of the FIRST Robotics
programs. It is mainly a support group and information exchange for those
mentors who help with all the behind-the-scene glue that hold the teams
together including mentor recruitment and retention, travel (hotels, endless
meals), parent involvement, fundraising, business plans, public relations,
community service, dealing with the FIRST logistics. We hope to seek out all
the NEMs who don't realize they are part of a large community.

Also, a team list
40 Checkmate
125 Nutrons
131 CHAOS
151 Tough Techs
155 Techno-Nuts
166 Chop Shop
190 WPI/Mass Academy
238 Cruisin Crusaders
319 Big Bad Bob
501 Power Knights
509 Red Storm
1058 PVC Pirates
1071 Team MAX
1073 The Force
1519 Mechanical Mayhem
1735 Green Reapers
1922 OzRam
2342 Team Phoenix

You can look forward to seeing 1519's little Speed Racer that, as well.

Re: Mayhem in Merrimack 2008

We have a few battery monitors that we'd like to try out tomorrow. We'd like to strap these onto robots and take data during matches. Basically, we will (unobtrusively) measure the current and voltage your batteries are supplying over the course of a match.

Any volunteers?

Thanks,
Eric

Re: Mayhem in Merrimack 2008

I apologize in advanced for any misspellings of names.

Here's a list of people and teams we would like to thank. These people helped make the event run so smoothly. I'd have to say this was probably our best Mayhem yet!

The Refs
Tim Baird, Elgin Clock, Ted Boucher, Scott Shaw, Mike Mullinax,
Julia Metzler, Andy Baker, Jeff Waeglin, and Jeff O'Rourke

The Judges
Fran Leach, Robbie Klisiewicz, Ron Reich, and Tom Castelli

Our Announcer
Andy Grady

Our MC
Brittany Jennings

Scoring
Dez (Mike Dessingue), and Mark Koors

Our Queuing Extraordinaire
Jess Boucher

David Bell missed the "Against All Odds" award which was given to 238. They had robot problems the entire day.

Team 40's gracious professionalism extended past the end of the competition. As many of you know, team 1071 is hosting a competition next weekend, so they took the field off of our hands. However, the truck they had doesn't have a tailgate, so team 40 graciously stuck around to help tear down the field and let them use the tailgate on their sponsor's (Intelitek) truck to load 1071's truck.

Thanks to NEMO for holding a class at our competition. I hope you had a turnout like you expected.

Thanks to Andy Baker and Mark Koors for assisting at our competition. They knew they were going to be around so they contacted Dave Kelso offering to help. It's always nice to have someone who knows as much as they do to answer questions. I think Andy had a great time being the ref during the Referee Human Player Match. I'll have a video of that soon.

I know I already posted this, but 121 was recognized for their gracious donation of $200 to pay for any team in need of it. We spoke to 2342 at Battlecry and they were able to attend. So, thanks, 121. They received an enthusiastic ovation from 2342 at the competition.
