2006 Off Season Competitions - a list of what, when and where

[ajlapp]

can someone please compile a list of off-season events outside of this thread and stick it in the white papers......

it would be very helpful!

or maybe everyone who is hosting an event could contact FIRST and have it put on the website. a few of these events are already listed there.

[KathieK]

I have added a link to the current off-season events list (as it appears here) to the NEMO website at http://www.firstnemo.org/calendar.htm

If you have additional events to add to the list, pelase e-mail me.

Kathie:

Has a date been set for Bash at the Beach yet?

We were thinking about attending this year if possible.

Thanks!

Al

[Edit] Bash@theBeach will be held October 14, 2006. More info at www.batb.us

A bunch of us camped nearby and despite the rainy weather, we had a good time. It is fall foliage season here so hotels and campgrounds sometimes fill up fast (something to keep in mind).

Good idea!!
But, if anyone wants to look at look at the fall foliage a little later in the month they can come to my house. All that I ask is they bring a couple of bags and take some home with them.

Needless to say, there will be a few off season events in the West Coast. A couple of places come to mind off the top of my head... San Diego, Southern California... and dare we hope, in the Bay Area ?

Obviously nothing is solid yet. The details are being hammered out behind the scene, old plans drawn out, pots being set on the stoves once again, but, I think teams should start considering summer work sessions very soon, especially if you want a second robot in a fall event.

YES! Team San Diego's Battle at the Border 2006 Lock-In and Scrimmage, May 19th (lock in) and 20th (scrimmage).

Only 8 days left!. We NEED more teams to sign up, so please if you want to attend click on the Battle at the Border link in my signature and sign up! Come down on Friday and stay up all night at the lock-in and then start competing against other SoCal teams on Saturday.

Just got off the phone with one of the co-ordinators of Beantown Blitz, hosted by Northeastern Univ in Boston and there are a few openings left for team to register. (One team I know of dropped out because their 'bot got damaged BIG time in their last match in ATL)

For more info go to: http://www.nutrons.neu.edu/btb/

Beantown Blitz
May 20, 2006
Mathews Arena, Boston, MA
to attend or volunteer email nubtb06@gmail.com
There is enough room for 42 teams. Spaces still available.

website: http://www.nutrons.neu.edu/btb/

Tentatively scheduled there is time for some mentor matches. When the mentors drive and the drivers coach. Thought it would be a fun twist and to see if the mentors can perform as well as the kids.
