This is the thread where we will be making updates and answering questions so check back here often!
What is your policy on those who live in the area, but do not have a team qualified for champs? I might like to go, but sadly, 3397 is not attending worlds.
I put a survey out to the kids and the results are very strong so far.
So I do think that Team 341 will be there.
We will pay online once the survey s complete.
Thanks for hosting this once again.
How is the volume at the event? Will it be the kind of event where the music is too loud and all you can do is dance? Not that I have an issue with loud music… its just that I am going to Championship alone as a volunteer and would love an opportunity to socialize with other FIRST robotics people. This seems like a possible opportunity to do so, but if its the kind of event where its just fun with no dialogue, it would probably be hard to socialize.
The main event of RoboProm is the dance floor and that does get loud, but we do have tables off to the side where people sit and chat and help themselves to our refreshments. If you find the dance room a bit too loud we do have another room available that people decide to hang out in that is a lot quieter.
399 will not be selling tickets in the pit this year. We will have tickets available in the courtyard with the FIRST banner where we will be distributing tickets on Wednesday and Thursday. We will update you all when more details regarding ticket distribution are finalized.
