Do you bring a printer to competitions?

[JohnFogarty]

1102 does always, even with our 3 tech teams we always bring our printer.

One of the mentors brings a printer to every regional and championship. Helpful when someone forgot to print a flyer that needs to be photocopied or the pit crew want another sign to hang in the pit.

My team doesn't but I know 1259 does. Its super usefull for printing scouting data, and I think most hard-core scouting database teams that have a hardcopy format for the information have a printing station. If you decide to print one, remember that it probably cannot/should not be in the stands or pit, and would have to be in the hallways and monitered.

Team 610 always does, for printing out scouting forms.

out printer is allowed in our pit, and it is covered with a safety net as with our "On wheels Machine shop" which they allow in out pit as well.

Our team brings a printer. On the set-up day, we take pictures of all the robots for scouting. All of the robots look the same this year.

115 brings a printer whenever we travel for scouting purposes. We like to take pictures of every robot and put them on our scouting sheets in a fat binder

Otherwise we just Kinko everything the night before

We always have one available - usually an old laserjet that another mentor picked up cheap. In the end, last week in St. Louis, we ended up going through a full ream of paper. Some was for our own use, like printing out scouting sheets, and some was for distributing information (like scouting data) to other teams. In the end, i would not go to a competition without one.

I know I heard a request for a printer over the P.A. at the NYC regional. We're thinking of bringing one next year, "just in case".

Our team always has at least one printer.
We print out our scouting reports to post on the walls for other teams to use.
This year at Seattle we will have a special scouting area up on the concourse... each team will get buttons for their scouts to use to access the area. We will have a printer there ...

thanks and we will see you on the field!! and in the stands!!
