2011 SCRRF Fall Classic - Burbank, CA

[Mk.32]

Yeah, we are redoing our pick up arm currently. Along with welding up pieces that have fallen off.

Apparently, I will be making an appearance as well. Hmm...

Overall, really excited to see what California teams have to offer. I have only heard so much great and positive comments from out here on the east coast.

I know it is a little early to know, but how many matches are teams looking at playing?

Thanks,
Jeremy

If the match cycle is 6 minutes, we might get up to 30 matches played in quals. For sure, we'd like to play at least 24 qualification matches.

The number of matches per teams obviously depends upon the number of teams. With 24 teams, playing 6 to 7 matches in the qualification round is expected. A few teams may play that many in the elimination rounds.

Will it be a FMS set up? Or will be using bridges?

With three weeks until the event, we are over half-capacity for teams. Already, an impressive field has registered, including:
FRC 973 (2011 World Champions), FRC 1538 (SVR Winner), FRC 399 (Utah Regional Winner), FRC 1323 (SVR Finalist).

We are planning a Team Social for the Fall Classic!
We're looking at live music entertainment and concessions, starting right after the WRRF field is loaded onto the truck.

Please register your team at http://larobotics.org/FallClassic2011.html.
Don't get shutout - discounted registration until Sept 16!

Further information (agenda, possible rule changes, local hotels, etc.) for teams interested in the event is available at https://sites.google.com/site/frc980/

Get ready for some ACTION!!

Hey Dave,

We are doing final assembly after a complete rebuild of our robot. If we get done by the end of this week, then we will be signing up.

Of course I'll be there the night before to help setup. Can't miss out on that fun ;>

Team 1138 is looking forward to this event. And i personally can't wait til this competition.

[SenorZ]

Very much looking forward to the event. I'm using it as a recruitment tool. Youtube videos can only show a fraction of the excitement at the live event. Hopefully we can get 10 new students to show up... that would bring our team up to 20 or so students!

I just realized nobody had answered this


I believe we will be using FMS Lite. The field controls should be transparent to the teams. You will have to set up your bridge for the event and it should justwork from there.

After several years of not participating, 696 will be making a return to the Fall Classic event. Look for our robot named "Reptar" with the roller claw with green wheels and orange belts.

So what's the final decision?

[AdamHeard]

Is there a final team list?

Also, on the registration page it mentions doing a draft with 4 teams per alliance, unless 32 teams show up this seems a bit strange to me.

No inside info here, but my guess would be 4 alliances composed of 4 teams, due to the 16 teams who are currently registered.

Where'd you find that info?
