“watch the FIRST web site for a list of Championship teams - it should appear there today or tomorrow” (FVC)
Also, more important news. Aside from 1 Singapore team confirmed to attend the world Championship, 7 teams from China have officially applied to attend the World Championships in Atlanta. This is not 100% yet, but there is a good chance there will be several teams coming directly from China.
“We have 8 teams from China who are planning to attend, and I’ve received applications from 7 of them as of this morning. So far, what I know is that we have 2 teams from Beijing, 2teams from Shanghai, 1 team from Nanning City, 1 team from ZhongshanCity and 1 team from Chongqing.”
I would expect that the original list is not final. I’m sure they will give international teams every opportunity to overcome any obstacles and come to the event.
I was under the impression there would be 4 fvc practice fields, I can only see two on the map (to the left of programming help). Was I mistaken or are there more I’m not seeing?
I think there are a total of 4 fields. 2 practice ones in the pit area and 2 fields in the arena. The quote I think you are confusing is when they said there will be 4 fields to practice on. The formal practice rounds take place in the arena (2 fields) + open practice time on the 2 pit practice fields.
I can’t imagine how they are going to run this event with ~100 teams in 1.5 days - it should be a wild scramble!!
My mentor (sovierr) and I checked the championship team list this afternoon on the FIRST website and it lists only 96 teams. We found the 4 teams on the pit list that aren’t on the team list.
