2017 STEMley Cup Championship

The Third Annual STEMley Cup Championship
hosted by MakeShift (4039) and Celt-X (5406)

when: Saturday, November 11, 2017 (Friday evening load-in)
where: St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
capacity: 30 teams
details: http://stemleycup.wordpress.com

Highlights:

  • STEMley buddy system, providing a boost to pre-rookie teams looking to compete for the first time!
  • on-field minute-to-win-it action!
  • STEMley Cup pre-event tour!
  • in the spirit of the age of steam, STEMley will utilize presto-log technology. Presto-fuel increases the oxidation rate in the boiler and kicks up the pressure! Presto-gears crank up the airship rotor rpm! See the STEMley website for a full description of rule changes.

Who will hoist the cup this year…

We have been calling this

the STEMley cup. Gaffers tape will attach a red solo to back to hold mountain dew, or sparkling cider (especially since Lord Stanley’s Cup shows little desire to return to Detroit anytime soon).

Nice! Our past winners are definitely representing Ontario with their STEMley Cups until the Leafs bring good ol’ Stanley back home…
Aaaany day now…

Awesome Presto-Fuel / Gear idea, should make for some really interesting end game plays!

Not really sure how it works for off-seasons, so will the qual matches be put on TheBlueAlliance the morning of the event, or does it only get updated after the event is over?

Will match videos be posted to TBA? We have a local off-season event on the same day so I won’t be able to watch the webcast.

We will be using the official FMS, so if all goes well, match schedule and scores should go up to TBA immediately.

Unfortunately we don’t have a volunteer scheduled to clip and upload match video during the event. We’ll try to get a recording of the whole day’s stream archived somewhere after the event.

One more week!

That’s close enough. Maybe, I should schedule a visit to relatives in TO around this event in a future year :slight_smile:

As has become tradition, I’ve produced a set of “Hockey Cards” for the teams attending the STEMley Cup Championship. Each team will receive a few randoms in their registration kit, and additional packs will be available for purchase at concessions. However the main goal is to get teams talking and trading with each other. Enjoy the low-res sample attached, and get pumped for this weekend!


I’m disappointed Celt-X isn’t on the registered team list. You guys really brought it at Ruckus.

Thanks! Unfortunately the venue only has room for 30 teams, and there’s a long waitlist, so neither us nor MakeShift are fielding teams. Almost all of our students are volunteering anyway. That said, you might find 6878’s robot (nee 9406) familiar!

I’ve got my collection going. I made sure to stop by for an hour last year just to make sure I got my deck. Can’t wait to pick up this years.

Continuing the Hype Train, here’s a sweet video our media team put together with clips of all the teams competing for the 2017 STEMley Cup. 3 more days!

Team 3015 is a Beta test team this year, and we will have our robot running on those new beta libraries to test them. This isn’t our official open house, but we are all about being transparent. And, no, we don’t have the new motor. Come by our pit and ask us questions!

just two more days,
then presto

After some delay, the live stream is up at watchfirstnow.com!

Let us know if you manage to get an archive up somewhere!
