weve got an area scrimmage in the National Building Museum in downtown Washington DC that many teams go to. i wanna say about 28 teams went to the scrimmage but im not sure on that number.
Penfield will hold a scrimmage for local teams tommorrow.
Our team wont be able to have an actual scrimmage unfortunately, but we built a field and a practice bot so we will be able to practice on our own 
We went to Chatsworth today, but ended up going back to school to get more practice time. We spent about 4 hours straight doing driver tryouts and a little programming. No real issues in any areas, at least not yet. I am happy.
Ya, like sanddrag, we too went to the Chatsworth scrimmage. We didn’t really have that much time to practice and pick drivers, so what we did was have the people that wanted to drive, that were elected by the team a few days ago, chosen, so we had different teams, and we then had then try to work together. We had some practice driving and scoring tetras in our classroom because it was raining outside at around 10 PM. Today during the semi-finals, we found out someone from another drive team driving, and someone from a different drive team for the arm, me, actually worked pretty well together. The only problem was that during the final round today, the cable we used…more or less got trashed.
Yeah, that really sucked Jeff, but we flipped over the Center Goal… and got it on tape.
We won’t have a real scrimmage but we may play 292 tomorrow if they come over.
LOL:D oh ya. Can’t forget that. When Jordan was driving and I was doing the arm, I see the robot arm going for that, I’m just looking at it in horror thinking just what might happen. I thought if anything, the robot would have fallen into that tetra, but it pried the velcro apart that was holding the tetra, picked up the aluminum tetra, and just tipped it over…It was shweeeet.
we have a get together today with 5 teams just to pratice today. I really like what i saw with team 56 and think there going to be one of the best in nj.
lol we arnt even capible of practice right now lol
I know really. How can you expect us to have our robot done before ship date?
Where’s the fun in having your robot done BEFORE ship date? That’s what Thursday’s for!
Well, we would have had time to practice, but we’ve had about four snowdays, including one today, so no.

we dont have a scrimage but were working with a couple of schools so we built a half field and we will probably practice with them or practice with our prototype robots. but first we must finish building our arm…so i guess we can practice driving it on teh half field then eh.
We usually have what we call “the mini-meet” the Saturday before ship date. There are usually 4-5 teams from what I understand. We don’t actually compete, it’s more of a time to give the drivers a little experience, work on autonomous and awe at the other designs.

in arizona we have had a scrim hosted by highland highschool (the gila monsters) called Duel In The Desert, they have a full field set up and almost all the local teams come to practice and tweak their robots. Thanks highland, the practice helps!
We had a scrimmage on Saturday (UTC scrimmage at suffield high school) and that went well, 27 teams i believe…
As a team, we also have an almost full size practice facility and an "evil twin’ practice robot…
