Re: Texas Offseason

Jane, thanks again, you have been a BIG help.

My preference would it be an event early August and it take place probably in a Houston-area high school gym.

Your first hurdle is to get a contact list together of the team leaders. I noted in the other thread and in the email sent that you are asking folks to pass the word. For the Houston area, you might can get that list together pretty quick. One thing I've learned is that not many TX teams participate in CD or check it, esp. during off season.

You also need to figure out the field - and where you're going to get that in 3 weeks time. That's where teams have to pitch in as you have asked them to.

And here's a thought - you don't have to do this past year's FRC game. And, it wouldn't necessarily have to be FRC - if you can find a way for the different teams to compete with robots, having a common goal.

Just an .02

Re: Texas Offseason

I hope Texas teams can rally and put together an offseason event. I will help volunteer and call teams to attend.

Thanks for your effort !

Re: Texas Offseason

I should probably say offseason scrimmage at this point.
