Dean's List Finalists
In case you haven't heard, it turns out the Dean's List Awards will be presented at 12:20PM on Friday afternoon in the West Plaza, NOT during one of the award ceremonies. http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/ I believe the West Plaza is the field between GWCC and the Dome... Oh yea... and the Secretary of Education will be there
See you all there! ![]() |

Re: Dean's List Finalists
Interesting place/time for the award to be carried out. Wonder why that is. Secretary of Education's schedule?

Re: Dean's List Finalists
I feel like a lot of the finalists won't be able to attend this.

Re: Dean's List Finalists
Just wondering, why do you feel that way? I understand that the finalists are probably instrumental in their team's participation during the event, but I would hope that they (and their available teammates) would make attending this awards ceremony their top priority for this time.

Also, I know for a fact that there are finalists who are their teams' drivers...which sort of sucks if this isn't during a break. |

Re: Dean's List Finalists
I really hope nothing goes wrong with the robot that I have to fix programming-wise.
I'd hate to miss this. -Tanner |

Re: Dean's List Finalists
That's what I was originally thinking. But 12:20 seems like a good time for lunch, or a break...I don't know exactly what the schedule is for ATL, so I can't say for sure. I would hope that FIRST would consider how instrumental these students are on their teams, and schedule the awards ceremony at a time when there is a guarantee that they won't be on the field or trying to fix their robot two minutes before their final match.

Re: Dean's List Finalists
I'm kinda surprised at how odd the scheduling seems to be. Knowing me, I'd have a chance of getting caught up in the competition, start fixing something, and forgetting ever such a awards ceremony was scheduled.
Now if it was during the regularly scheduled awards ceremony, I know there'd be people who would be more free and able to attend. If it is indeed lunch, it will make inner team scheduling interesting if something happens to break and I am needed. Usually our team has a crew who eats their lunch and goes back to work during the lunch break. Certainly makes for interesting scheduling. -Tanner |

Re: Dean's List Finalists
As a side note, it's an incredible shame that many teams are not going to be able to watch their students possibly get honored at this ceremony because they will be busy. I certainly hope this award ceremony is recorded and webcast so I can watch from home.

Re: Dean's List Finalists
I believe that lunch in Atlanta starts at noon. Therefore, most people who do not have work to do would be just finishing up, or able to take it out to the presentation area.
Of course, that's somewhat field-dependent, but should still work out. However: Given that no robot is perfect, I fully expect that quite a few of the winners will be in the pits working on their robots. I like FIRST's attempt to set the winners apart. However, like presenting the WFA on Thursday after practice matches, I don't think this will last very long in this time slot. |

Re: Dean's List Finalists
I feel like many finalists won't be in Atlanta at all. 1712 had to pull some strings to help our finalist, Delia, make it down to Atlanta. I doubt that every finalist who's on a team that isn't competing will be able to make it down. And many others will have matches or other team-related responsibilities.
