BattleCry 5, coming soon to a WPI near you!
BattleCry@WPI 5 is rapidly approaching, and most of the details of the event have fallen well into place. I'm part of the planning staff and this is really going to be the best BattleCry ever! This is our 5 year "golden anniversary" so there's no doubt it will be good.
To start out, the BattleCry website received a slight facelift to reflect the anniversary year, notice how BattleCry is now gold, as well as a few other "upgrades" at www.wpi.edu/+battlecry Just browsing around that site and reading the "Tactical Updates" (SITREP #1 and #2) pretty much gives the full idea of what we're looking to do this year, but I'll give a brief summary of everything here. - Expanded to a 42-team, 2-day tournament, sponsored by Raytheon and WPI - Special replay of the 1st FIRST competition, the 1992 MAIZE Craze game with field and orignal tethered machines - Activity-filled day of fun on Friday:
- As per last year, professional video presentation on the big-screen with multiple roaming cameras - Webcast of entire event as shown on the big screen - Archival of video of each and every event on the web to watch later - As always all participating teams play in the eliminations - Special guest appearances - Special 5-year veteran awards - Many other "specials" and surprises for our 5-year anniversary Don't miss it!! June 18-19 in Harrington Auditorium at WPI, or live on the web. Also note that there is still room left on the "Ready Reserves" waiting list of teams to compete. To register, please send an email to battlecry@wpi.edu. Also, any teams that still have a 1992 robot are encouraged to attend with their robot, whether to compete or simply show as part of a "hall of fame."
