CANADIAN off-season event??

[shyra1353]

hey everyone

i know there are a bunch of off-season events in USA ... but what about Canada?? So far, to my knowledge, there are none up here. What would everyone think of having one in Canada? I personally think that it would be awesome because it would help recruit new members for rookie Canadian teams who cannot afford to travel to USA for those events ... also, it works for recruiting members on non- rookie teams .. and like all other off-season events, its provides something for us addicts to do during the off-season

I personally would love to host an off-season event, however, my school does not have money and the team is not fully defined yet ... so basically my team hosting an off-season competition is out of the question, but if another team is willing and has the money to do something like this, i think it would be totally awesome, and i would be totally willing to help out in any way that i can ... as both a team member on 1353 and someone who is addicted to FIRST ...


Just something to think about ....

This upcoming year we will have our 7th Pennsylvania Robot Challenge!

I doubt that will will come up to Canada for a mini competition

However we attended the 2002 first Canadian Regional! It was a blast but we had several shipping problems at the border!

I don't know if you would build an arena or rent one from FIRST?

If you rented one from FIRST I don't know how they would work the shipping out?

Good luck

actually woburn, st mikes and crescent i believe were trying to get an offseason competition started called the Toronto Invitational Robotics Competition (TIRC) started for this october, well. .bascially this month, at the end of the 03' season. but the logistics and hassles involved with booking the st mikes arena was too much to deal with for planning within 2-3 months. so look for a thread that has TIRC in it, and expect one to be held possibly this coming offseason or the one after = S
