JC Penny is hosting a scrimmage for all of their store managers that are in Dallas today for their annual meeting. There are 8 teams attending from the area. 148 included. Mostly the managers are walking around checking out the robots in the pit area they have set up, but there will be 3 matches 2 vs. 2.

Thank you!
That's AWEsome!
I read this on the FIRST website: http://www.usfirst.org/aboutus/content.aspx?id=17361
It looks like a great opportunity.
Do you know the teams that have attended the scrimmage? I bet they've had a blast.

Thanks again, Adrienne!

As much as I don't think were gunna get much out of them yet, as they still have 4 games left. However I'm sure there having fun teasing us with this post with some obvious hints at a water game.

Idk if this is a hint or not... but they are no longer on the ground floor, look at the last paragraph

It's not. The ground floor is where they do their "fun" activities, from what I hear, so it just means that they're off elsewhere doing other things--like thinking up the one rule that will be thrown out in Week 1 due to being totally unreasonable/unenforceable.

T49: Due to safety concerns, robot operators are not allowed to exceded 2.5 mph while approaching their controls during the start of the match. Anyone exceding this speed will recieve a yellow card on their first offense, and DQ for their second offense, and must wear the cone of shame for the rest of the day.

It really is a tough job though that the GDC has having to consider that some 1800 teams will be testing their ideas and boundaries fo the rules.

Can you provide a frame of reference against which the 2.5 MPH restriction will be compared?

Our team's strategy depends on this rule.

FIRST's first floor is where the FLL camps and displays are, and I believe they just recently finished FLL training week with mentors from around the country. Second floor I would think is offices and 3rd and 4th are questionable. I know that millyard building is shared with a bank (3rd or 4th floor).

So I think Bill was being mean by refering to all the FLL trainees as dinosaurs!
