Human Strategy Play Day
Team 1629 will be hosting a human strategy play day - similar to the human match shown in the kick-off presentation, but less silly and focused on strategy and giving drive teams practice in match-like conditions with a real rack.
We have a full rack and field at our facility that will be open for use after the build season ends. It's an opportunity to see how your strategy will hold up with all the chances for error in a match. We would like to have at least 12 teams for the event, to be held on February 24th (noon to 5). If more teams express interest, we will open it up to more teams but the first 12 are the only ones garaunteed their spots. Teams would need to bring a minimum of three team members (but not the entire team). We're not sure how many tubes we'll have available so we would appreciate any teams who could bring extras. There will be no cost for attending and food will be available for purchase. Before coming you should have an idea of what capabilities your robot will have (such as scoring/removing abilities, gathering, how it loads a tube, lifting/being lifted, etc.) and should bring a list of those capabilities along. We are located in Garrett County in far western Maryland (Deep Creek Lake). Anyone interested should contact myself or PhilBot by PM for more information/directions by February 15th. We have a streaming webcam so your team members not coming along would be able to watch from home. (To see the webcam, click on the "video" link in the upper right-hand corner of our website.) |

Re: Human Strategy Play Day
Just a followup to Steph's post.
We've established the Garrett Engineering And Robotics Society (GEARS) to be a permanent home for our many FIRST teams, and to foster other local robotics competitions and activities. The county has been very gracious to let us use a 6000 sq ft facillity (which was unoccupied), as a place to meet, design, build and compete robots. It's an amazing space.... and we want to use it to spread the word. We've just laid out a full size FRC field and installed the RACK. So, if you live within an hour or so of Deep Creek Lake, Western MD, consider bringing your drive team down for the day. We're 5 min from Wisp Ski resort, and we're looking to form alliances (the general kind) with any tech teams in the area. We do FRC, FLL and have created a Sumo LEGO competition called SuGO so there is plenty of variety. Phil. Last edited by PhilBot : 16-01-2007 at 15:05. |

Re: Human Strategy Play Day
I'm from Team 1111, in Edgewater, Maryland. I'll definately bring this up to the team - it would be a lot of fun!! I'm sure that the team will be more than thrilled to do something like this... so I'll let you know if we can! Thanks for the invite!
