Bill and Mike,

The Tators have registered to bring a couple of machines down to beautiful Elk Grove.

Any update on the teams who have already registered?

Looking forward to seeing you all this fall. Our kids always come back talking about what they learned in the courses and charged up to do things in new ways.

Thanks for all your teams do to make it a great event!

What time does it end on Sunday?

10

Probably around 5ish. Maybe earlier or later but I think 5 is a safe bet.

11

What is the current list of teams registered for CCC?

12

I’m so happy to see that CCC is back for 2017! I’d love to volunteer and have a room probably availible, but unfortunately I can’t make the drive up from So Cal myself as I don’t have a license. Would any teams or volunteers driving up from the So Cal area be able to take me up to CCC?

I’d really love to help support this awesome event I’ve heard so many great things about, and would appreciate any help finding a way to make the trip up!

Could I have an updated list of the registered teams now that my team has done so?

Do we know which teams are bringing a second robot? It helps for setting up scouting spreadsheets…yes, I said scouting spreadsheets. It’s good to practice everything at the offseason event.
Thanks so much for creating this great event! I’m bummed I have to miss it this year.
