2009 Greater Bay Area Pre-Ship Lunacy Scrimmage

[Michael Corsetto]

I wish we were closer to Ames, we would totally go! I'm sure there will be more than a few competitive teams there that would be great to practice against, but woe is 1678, we are 2 hours away. Will there be pics and/or video of the event posted online? More specifically, will 254 be unveiling their latest dominant bot?

We're lucky the Fembots have invested $1000+ into a full size practice field, which we've already practiced on twice, and plan on three more practice sessions between now and ship. Thanks Fembots!

I hope the scrimmage goes well, I wish I could be there to witness it first hand!

EDIT: Fitting that this is my 254th post

Our robot will be there. We finished the practice bot 2 days ago, so we should be good to go.

Are you going to post any video from/during the matches? We would love to watch!

Well, from what I have heard from our guys that went, there's rarely(if ever) enough teams ready to play for a full scale match. Teams come only when they want to, and for us, we haven't spent much time there. So even if there is video, it wouldn't show much of any action for the most part.
