Okay now lets be truthful...we love the UCF competition but we equally love getting out of the cold New England weather and enjoying the warmth and sunshine of Florida. Plus, that bus ride gives our students lots of time to bond...hehe ![]() |

Re: 2005 Florida reigonal
I apoligize if this was already posted.
I just found out that juniors in Florida have to take the science FCAT on March 10th. This is the thursday of the regional. It could just be my county, but I am not sure. If it is the entire state, I think this would cause a problem for many teams, especially if they have already made all of the travel arrangements. |

Re: 2005 Florida reigonal
Isn't there a make-up date for students who were absent on certain days for the FCAT? If so, I think a lot of people on teams are going to be making up the science portion of the FCAT. If not, there has to be some way to exempt students from taking it on that day specifically.
I remember I had to take an AP exam on a flight to Nationals (Houston) two years ago. That was interesting. |

Re: 2005 Florida reigonal
I don't know if my school will do that. It is not part of the county school board. Also, I think the mackup day is the next day. Also, I am in all college classes and I can't miss anymore then 3 days or I fail. (I am missing three for the competitions) I can't miss another to take the FCAT.
The main reason I am mad is that ever since 2nd grade, they have been telling us that if you pass it in 10th grade, you never have to take it again. All of a sudden that doesn't matter. They have been pulling this ... since you know who got in office and started the FCAT! Oh well, I can either go and fail all my classes or not go and loose the money that I paid for it, plus cause my team to pay for extra rooms for people who had to cancel because of this, unless they can find some way to exempt us or something. |

Re: 2005 Florida reigonal
Hmm... I am not exactly sure what to say other than to ask questions to the school board. I know there has to be some way to exempt the test on that day (I thought the make up dates are two weeks after). I wonder if it is possible to take it early (I highly doubt that).
As for absences, I know our school board excuses absences from robotics trips since they consider them "field trips." Try to see if you can approach it from that angle, so the absences do not count against you. I already asked my professors ahead of time, and they say that they will not count me absent on days of competition. Plus I asked for the make up work. There are alternatives, just keep looking for them. And good luck. |

Re: 2005 Florida reigonal
I believe there is a day to make up the FCAT--since they always announce that make ups are blah blah at south fork in the auditorium. yes, a lot of our member are affected by it. but i'm sure there is a way out of it.

Re: 2005 Florida reigonal
This regional was our very first regional back in 1999. I think we won one match and got totally spanked in the others. It was great. I do miss the fact that this was the last of the outdoor events and the great atmosphere that that would bring to the competition. We just finished our travel meeting with our students and they are bitting at the bit to get this season of competitions started. This is our first time back to this regional since 2001 which was a great competition where I think Heatwave came out of nowhere and won it going away. See you all on Thursday.

Re: 2005 Florida reigonal
I hope this competition goes well. Im concerned about what they are going to do with parking (campus is already overflowing with cars). THey built a dorm in what was the old parking lot at the arena, and there are alot of teams coming to the event.
Either way I know we are going to have a great time. |

Re: 2005 Florida reigonal
Yea, im also concerned with parking. I don't think it will be that bad for everyone competing because we will be there around 7-730 and we will be there before most of the students come for class. Its just going to be a long walk from the garage to the arena. I want to know what the teams with trailers are going to do.
We at 1694 could use some help in programming an autonmous mode. Any help will be appreciated |

Re: 2005 Florida reigonal
I don't remember the layout too well, but if there is a problem with parking and trailers, maybe there could be a designated trailer loading area near the pits where people can unpack their stuff, then they can go park the trailer further away.
