Form’s closed, y’all already filled up?

Bumping, is event full or is form being closed a mistake?

Can’t speak for Madtown but I’d assume it’s to give a bit of wiggle room for teams modifying their robots.

Torrance/Sam,

We are full much faster than normal… What we are going to do is:

  • Reopen the form as as a waitlist
  • Verify our facility area, we need to turn more of the venue into pits
  • Talk to teams with multiple robots and trim down that list to allow more unique teams in

The team is at the Fair this weekend and we will be sending out emails to all teams registered this upcoming week.

More than a wiggle - it explicitly encourages modifying the comp bot, for a low-stakes event. It’s a great outlet for teams to try things that might not work and prioritize student experience over event outcome.

Thanks for opening it back up RC, really appreciate your team’s work to open up opportunity. I think the popularity speaks to the success you’ve had in curating the culture of the event that we all want to come down to hang and play with robots in November. :slight_smile:

Have fun at Fair!

With the announcement of the new radio, never know what new things could be tested. 10 pounds just seemed like a lot.
