2010 CalGames
Hello, ChiefDelphi!
I'm excited to announce that registration has begun for 2010 CalGames. Competition Date: October 22-23, 2010 Competition Venue: Lynbrook High School, 1280 Johnson Avenue, San Jose CA 95129 Competition: CalGames 2010 will be a replay of the FIRST Robotics Breakaway competition. Registration: $400 Registration with $150 of that paid by BAE Systems and $100 Volunteer Deposit (returned after completing team volunteer assignment) The NET paid directly by each team: $250 Registration Fee + $100 Volunteer Support Deposit = $350 due by September 15. A big thank you to BAE Systems for its ongoing support of the WRRF community! Using a large part of the BAE Systems’ donation allows WRRF to discount CalGames 2010 registration fees. Every team needs to volunteer for a slot to confirm ANY registration regardless of TIER. (see link below for details on what "Every team needs to volunteer" means). CalGames 2010 will support up to 36 teams and has registration TIERS, similar to prior years. More information can be found here: http://groups.google.com/group/wrrf-...uncement?hl=en I hope to see you there! |

Re: 2010 CalGames
The two main stipulations that came with BAE Systems funding the event were:
1. The event needed to be expanded to two days. 2. We wanted to reduce the cost to the teams. Now that these goals have been accomplished I would strongly urge teams to really look at other off season comps and think about additional ways that this event can be enhanced. Then bring those thoughts to the planning meetings and participate in making CalGames one of the premeir offseason events in all of FIRST! Last edited by Dennis Jenks : 10-06-2010 at 17:47.

Re: 2010 CalGames
I hate to be a buzzkill, but I can't help a team is traveling all the way from idaho just for Calgames. That's an awful lot of money.
The money would really be better saved for the season (unless the team is just loaded) and/or additional supplies, resources, etc... |

Re: 2010 CalGames
Ya know, Adam, you could say the same thing about, say, CA teams traveling to Indiana just for IRI.
It may just be that they want to compete in an offseason and CalGames is the closest. |

I can't speak for CalGames, though. Perhaps the event is Just That Good as well, but a much better kept secret? |

We have enough talent on the west coast that this could easily become an IRI in its own right, provided more teams chose to travel and we found a bigger venue. And I'm really excited #2122 is coming! Great team, and a great robot! |

Quantities of awesomeness aside, I'm inclined to agree with Eric. I love the idea of a team volunteer assignment. Setup & Teardown of the field is probably the largest need of short-term manpower at any event. Last edited by JesseK : 08-09-2010 at 13:17. |

Re: 2010 CalGames
They actually have a rather good shot at that. They were rather solid yet under the radar in Galileo, and managed to fall to the 15th spot in the draft.

Re: 2010 CalGames
We are really looking forward to CalGames. We have made some good friends while competing at UC Davis and are looking forward to chance to test our robot mods, give our new members a good view of some great robots, and to see our friends again. Personally think it is going to be a great event!
