Might be a couple of 1197 mentors dropping by. On asking them that question, the general answer can be summed up as: “cool stuff”.
We will make sure to have some cool things to interact with. We are limited to 10x10 so it’s hard to cram it all in there. We are still finalizing the booth but when it’s set up we will take pics and post them. I think everyone is going to dig our raffles and swag.
We also bumped up the button order so those of you not at the competition can still get one from our store.
10’ x 10’? That just happens to be the size of the team’s pits for the robots…
And
teams
have put
lots
of things
in them before.
And they had to have room for working on the robot!
Hopefully those links will give you a few ideas of how to maximize your space.
If you look closely enough, you can see “ROBODOX” in the top left corner of the white board in the background 
In other news, Welcome Brandon! We are really putting those cases through their paces, with two running CAD full time and the third being used as a programming workstation.
Sad to hear that we can’t use the extra JetFlo fans on the robot, though.
I have to say, those look pretty sweet.
Maybe you can just use them as regular fans in the pit? It’s got to be hot down there with all those people packed in.
Good idea! I’ll get the kids to figure something out. Those have insane air flow, so it should work!
Just wanted to share a cool video Metalcrafers 207 uploaded today! Love the slo-mo effect.

We listed some buttons in our store today. There is only a limited quantity. If we have more after the show we will restock it.

We are trying to expand the merchandise selection of the store, what other items would you like to see?
Also, stay tuned for a “test” sale of keyboards for FIRST participants.
Cool, just ordered one.
Matt,
Since you were the first to order we packed you some extra stuff! You will be getting our Totes Awesome Tote Bag and retro Cooler Master lanyard in addition to the Swag Button.
Thanks!
Brandon,
Just received the items with the CoolerMaster stuff inside. Pretty cool if I might say… I now have a section on my desk/room for CoolerMaster items…laptop cooling pad, button, bag, and lanyard.
I look forward to watching the LA Regional next week, hope you guys over at CM enjoy entering the fray of FRC as well.
Awesome! Our team loves our Hyper 212 Evo and Cooler Master case fans. We use them to cool our FX-8350 powered CAD workstation. We sit around 32 degrees Celsius at idle, which is pretty good for that beast of a CPU. Attached is a photo of all the components before we built the workstation.
:ahh: Whaaat! Jeez, I wish they did that this year. We’re running with a donated original Quadro 600 right now. A K4000 for 100 credits is amazing!
Since we are a week out I decided to share some stuff with everyone. The LA Regional team has been AMAZING helping us out getting organized since we are new to this type of event.
Here are SOME of the boxes we are bringing of raffle prizes and giveaways:
We will also have buttons and lanyards!
If you wont be at the show, don’t worry. We will be having a HUGE sale for all FIRST members through our online store and I will be sure to post the code here for everyone. This is not open to the public and will not be advertised. As a sneak peak of what will be offered…
Not gonna lie, I am now super jealous of teams going to the LA regional. :rolleyes:
Ok, we are opening up some sale pricing a day early for the Chief Delphi forum members.

CODE: CMROBOT
Please keep this within the FIRST community as we have a limited amount and do not want this to be open to the general public.
Where do we get a code to purchase things? Or is it just teams that were at the LA regional?
