FINAL CALL: PASCACK PANDA-MONIUM 2008

[Graham Donaldson]

ATTENTION TEAMS: This is the final call for Pascack Panda-monium 2008!!!

The deadline for registration is October 10th, 2008! This is the first Tri-state area event of the fall- let's start the season off with a bang!

Here's some important information:

Date: October 18th, 2008
Time: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Place: Pascack Hills High School, 225 W. Grand Ave., Montvale, NJ, 07645
Team Capacity: 32 Teams
Cost: $200 per team (If you bring a pre-rookie team, you pay $100 and the pre-rookie team gets in free!)
Game: FIRST Overdrive!

Other information:

• We plan on using four-team alliances for the eliminations, provided we have enough teams.
• As mentioned above- we've got an easy way to spread FIRST! If you bring a pre-rookie team, you will pay $100 for admission, and the pre-rookies will get in for free!

Special events:

• Door prizes and raffles!
• We're giving away a brand-new LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT kit! Teams should note that Mindstorms uses a version of LabView to program- *hint* *hint* *nudge* *nudge*!

You can also check the CD-Events page or the event site.

Teams should sign up here, and volunteers can register here.

I know everyone will come out to support us and make the inaugural Pascack Panda-monium a great event!

See you on the 18th!

A Mindstorms kit would be a useful help for any team (or team member) wanting to bring themselves up to speed on LabView, in preparation for the 2009 season. Just like Vex experience with EasyC was directly transferable, so it this. The kit is worth more than the registration fee, and someone's leaving with it on the 18th.

Cannot wait!
I am soooo excited that 102 decided to attend! Hopefully we get more teams to sign up for this event. It's going to be awesome.

Come on FIRST teams (well, those in the surrounding area) sign up and lets get the race started (again)

Just realized that the juniors and sophs have PSATs that morning and that some seniors have a band competition same day.

This is going to get tricky.

Looks like we're still gonna make it. (With a small group of 4-5 people )

Making repairs this week and testing a new hybrid that we may or may not get to use depending on if we even have enough people in order to have a RoboCoach. See you all there.

I had sent Volunteer Info. in, like after Monty Mad. and I think I sent it in after getting an email saying to sign up. Let me know if you got it.
