PARC X!!! Pennsylvania robot Challenge

[1629coalition]

1629 has the word out to all of the team members, finally, our meeting was canceled on Monday evening due to the weather so.......I hope that it is not too late!!!!! I would say by tomorrow (thursday) we should know something!!! Any suggestions on hotels up there???

The closest hotel near our competition is the Shadowbrook Resort. I recommend getting in contact with the resort as soon as possible. They may have reservations available for your team. If the availability is limited, or the price is too high for your liking, let me or another Tigertron member know what you are looking for in your hotel, how many will attend, your price limits etc. We'd love to help in any way we can!!

What do you need as far as Volunteers are concerned?

[camtunkpa]

mtaman02 I think we are mainly looking for volunteers to do reffing and field reset. If you have anything else you would be interested in PM me and I'll email our corrdinator to find out if we need help.

Teams 103 and 365 have signed up for PARC!!

1629 there are still plenty of spots open for PARC. Like Brian said if Shadowbrook is too high there are other hotels in the area.

If I can get a ride from NYC to PA and back then I can help out with the Field Repair / Reset. I will let you know as soon as I can get a confirmed ride. I would make the drive myself but I have to work that night so I don't want to tire my self out too badly if I can help it. God I hate Drive Fatigue.

Well, I have submitted the online form for the challenge!!!! We will be coming up the the night before, but not until after school lets out. If we get there in time we would be more than happy to help set up, we will probably stay in Scranton or somewhere around that area, as the hotels seem to be a little cheaper!!!!! We look forward to havin some fun at PARC!!!!!

[camtunkpa]

Glad to hear 1629 will be joining us! Thanks for the offer to help setup, but we will be done by friday morning on the setup so we can test.

THIS JUST IN!

Coming straight from the PARC planners, all teams bring your bathing suits to PARC! We will be offering a three hour open swim to the community and attending teams during PARC.

Also I believe we still have room for 9 teams.

Hope to see everyone at the PARC!

Web cast of PARC is becoming a reality. We have gathered all the servers and most of the camera equipment together now. We hope to run through a tets webcast friday afternoon if all goes well.

We still have 7 openings for teams at PARC X.

Yes, I am getting together all the equipment needed for 3 camera coverage of PARC as well as what's needed to interface the scoring system chroma-keys. Thankfully, the system I have has a network connector built in for webcasting. I'm trying to get some people from school to come up to do cameras, but if there are any good camera volunteers, I'd be willing to give you a shot.
