Re: Off-Season In Canada

Should obtaining a field become troublesome, might it be worth while looking into building one based on official FRC spec? Possibly pool together the Halton teams or maybe others interested? Just a thought.

That can work, but then again, its gonna take a lot of work and money also. But if we do that, we can host more off seasons so that could be a good idea.
Anyways if you want I'll be at men as career coaches next week if you want to talk to me in person (if you're going)

Re: Off-Season In Canada

This endeavor doesn't include just the aluminum/Polycarb/Diamond plate field. But all of the cables, Lights, Stack Lights, Rockwell PanelViews, Rockwell IO Blocks, Rockwell controllers, etc. This would be quite costly.

Re: Off-Season In Canada

Canadian Teams are more than welcome at any of our Off-Season Events here in Michigan. It would be great to compete with any of you.

With travelling across the boarder it will be hard with the things that we bring since we wont have the same paperwork like FIRST gave us for regional. But if we are able to come down there and it is easy for us, I will ask our headmentor.

We've been to the Rochester Ruckus twice and to IRI last summer. Absolutely no problem going across the border.

Off Season In Canada

Hey! I am curious as to what teams are holding off season events in Canada. FIRST Canada has just released their proposal package, and it would be great to see some off season events in the Toronto area.

Re: Off Season In Canada

Rah Cha Cha Ruckus is held just south of Canada (Rochester, NY). Unfortunately, the event is near or has already reached full team capacity, but there is a waitlist and registered teams dropping out isn't terribly uncommon.

Kettering Kickoff may be a possibility.

Re: Off Season In Canada

For many years, 1075 did Kettering Kickoff and Brunswick Eruption.

They're both long-ish drives from Toronto area, but not outside the realm of do-ability.

If you can do BE you can do Midknight Mayhem as well. There actually quite a few MAR events to try out.
