Yeah -- don't worry, FIRST knows everything that's posted here on Chief. The staff at FIRST can't afford to ignore it.

Even still, you have a much better chance of your voice being heard by Bill himself if you post a comment.

Re: [BB] What Do You Want at St. Louis Championships

Sometimes you have to stop and look around..FTC and FLL are kindof sideshowish in most people's minds but have you seen the robots?? They may no be as big as a fridgeorator or anything but sometimes they are more complex than even the best FRC robot. FTC last year for example....my god the things people thought of to get balls off the floor and into goals. and this year....you basically have to build a bomb dissarming robot to move the batons around..with the rolling goal concept and the mountain that FRC had to deal with last year. with the "teeter tooter" as our added..fun.

Someone should explain this. I'm extra curious.

Re: [BB] What Do You Want at St. Louis Championships

Sundial was a network-based service that tapped into field feeds to provide a time estimate to a team's next match--and an estimate of how far behind the field was running.

With it being on a network/wireless, use was stopped sometime around 2008/2009 due to wireless concerns. Hopefully it can make a comeback--it was incredibly useful for "We're in match 45, it's supposed to be in 15 minutes, but they're only on match 33, so we've got an extra hour to make those improvements" or "Uh... Guys, they're running ahead. GET TO THE FIELD!".

It is also open sourced such that any team could run it at their event.

Pity about the wireless rules

I live in St. Louis and go to places repeatedly. Union Station used to be full of shops, but because of the economy, their are very few shops and vendors there nowadays, but there still a couple vendors left (like Hardrock Cafe). I will be back in the area by the end of the week, so I will try and let you guys know what is available.

Re: [BB] What Do You Want at St. Louis Championships

It would be great for a local like yourself give us an idea of what's good and reasonable in the area for the teams!

It might require some sacrifice on your part to do some serious sampling.......

Re: [BB] What Do You Want at St. Louis Championships

I might have to get at a handbook I was given when attending a conference last winter at the America's Center. I think there were 80+ places to eat within a short walk; it wouldn't hurt for someone to see if they're still there. Handbook's at home, I'm at school 1500 miles away... Plus it has a map of where stuff is. (Or maybe my parents could get at it and get you a list of places to check...)

Or, simple solution to food: Send someone for Imo's. That's some good pizza...

Re: [BB] What Do You Want at St. Louis Championships

Just got back from Union Station. Places to eat there include: Hardrock Cafe, Panda Express, Subway, Quiznos Subs, Gateway Burgers, Tollhouse cookies and ice cream (a Tollhouse stand), and various places for pizza, burgers, philly cheese steak sandwiches, fudge and more. Definitely a variety in eating choices if you choose to take the trip away from the stadium. Although in a previous post I said that the station was empty because of the economy, several new places have opened up (like Gateway Burgers, I suggest eating there, as they serve top quality food for a fair price.)
