Robo-Prom 2009

[Libby K]

I'm sure my team would be willing to pay, a few of my teammates have been talking my ear off about how much they want to go!

I hope this works out, I've never been to Robo-Prom and I'd love to go!

I'd be down to go even if it was like $30. I'll even drag my Roomie with me.

Tentatively, it's at the Omni on thursday night. Price isn't final yet, but the people at the omni are being really nice. =) once we get a quote from our DJ, like Emma said we'll post final details and allow people to preregister.

Nice to hear people are excited!

Hey again Brad! You mind explaining what this RoboProm thing is? It must be fun, judging by what people are saying, but I still have no clue what it is

[Brad Voracek]

Haha, I suppose I should have said something in the first post, I kind of just assumed people knew. =p

It started two years ago, when our schools prom coincided with Atlanta. Our seniors on the team couldn't really handle missing prom, so we decided to just throw our own. Not as formal, but twice as fun.

We basically just rent out a room for a night, get a DJ, some punch, get hundreds of robotics kids together, and dance/mingle for the night. It's been a blast the past two years, hope you guys can make it!

Team 692 is definitely in!! They keep asking if we are going again (we had a blast last year!), so I am glad to see that it is happening again!

The Space Cookies are interested in coming.
Probably around 15 girls.
We'd be willing to pay $20-25 but probably not much more.....
COOL! Thanks for organizing

Seconded. There's a number of us on 1676 who are interested, and have never been...$20 sounds reasonable. Now time to convince the coach to let us go and wait for the details. When will we need to know exact #'s?

What we've done in the past is just you can preorder tickets for some price, then when you show up in atlanta we'll deliver/you pick up the tickets for that price (we'll have a list of everyone who ordered before hand). Then we'll also sell tickets at the door (for a slightly higher price), so if someone decides to go last minute, they can always get in then.

So in short, just have a general idea sometime before Atlanta and you're good to go!



On another note, sounds like two all girl teams coming so far. We should work on getting them a discount or something.

Due to team issues I wasn't able to do it last year. can someone e-mail me some information?

Is it a formal attire thing or is it just a bunch of people go to a hotel and dance?

Everybody from 1712 is super pumped!!! None of us have ever been but we love dancing!

Will final details be posted in this thread?

I'll probably start a new thread so all the main info is in one spot, I will post in this thread with a link to the new thread, however.

Because Emma had no idea you could do that

People come in jeans and a t-shirt, or in semi-formal attire! So anything goes.

Ideally though it would be semi-formal, with girls in cocktail dresses and guys in slacks and collard shirts.
