Team 254 Presents: Chezy Champs

When: Saturday and Sunday, August 30-31, 2014
Where: Bellarmine College Preparatory, San Jose, California
What: A brand new offseason event hosted by Team 254, The Cheesy Poofs

Team 254 is excited to host its first ever FRC event, Chezy Champs! Chezy Champs will be a super affordable, highly competitive, fun packed event held at Bellarmine College Prep on August 30/31. We will be playing Aerial Assist with minimal rule changes, so make sure your bots are ready to roll!

We have not finalized all of the details yet, but we plan to have some of the following at the event:

• Celebrity MCs/announcers
• Properly-timed pedestal lighting
• Non-wooden field
• "Best lit pit" award
• More #ejswag than you can handle
• Mentor matches
• Exhibition match: Teh Chezy Pofs "Skystalker" vs. Teh Robnots "Paper Jam"
• Corndog vendor(s)
• Photo booth: Selfies with Mr. EJ.

(We're kidding about some of these details, but we're serious about the event! See you in August!)

Will the lit pit award be granted purely on quantity of lights? or will clean backlit lettering be eligible as well?

How much bbq will there be?

What will the mandatory volunteer (that's an oxymoron!) deposit be?

[bkahl]

Any room for CT teams?

[Brandon Holley]

I will be THERE.

Can we request RC teach our students the finer points of speaking Cali first?

"Shockwave" will be the primary means of distributing corndogs so not only will people not have to wait in line, but they won't even have to leave their seats!

You have a local source! Rule one: don't say "Cali."
(Also, Southern Californians cannot endorse use of the word "hella")

When will applications be available and cost? Would love to be there.

There's a slight typo on the volunteer form- I'm assuming the second "Saturday, 8/30, AM" times available check box is meant to be "Sunday, 8/31, AM"?

I'm excited. This is going to be awesome.
