Thanks for pointing that out Tytus. I have heard the rumor also. I would like to get more information on that. You know it… if there is a competition in Florida… Arefin has to make it there. :slight_smile:

i’m soo confused by this…

it’s posted on the S.P.A.M. forum there is one… but yeah…

it’s like a month away and registration and all that jazz should be done…

Rumor has it that the 2005 Robot Rodeo will be October 22. (Why can’t it be a week ahead, so I can do something interesting during fall break?!)

In any event, I’m interested in volunteering if I can find another Prestonite willing to split the gas money. Details (as with everything else regarding the Rodeo) will emerge.

Thank you Billfred, I tremble in your vast knowledge and seek it!

Sure, if you can call that vast knowledge… :rolleyes:

I got one question for all the team mentors/teachers. Did you guys recieve any email about registration or the event at all?

The following came from Dan Welsh (Disney), who has been a primary supporter of the Rodeo since its beginings:

Tytus, more info to follow … plan on the Rodeo at Freedom High School, Orlando, October 22. Will start at 9 AM and run most of the day. We will be playing last year’s game on a FIRST field that we’re having shipped in.

Plan on bringing any game tetras that you have.

Also, there’s a fee of $100 per team, to cover costs of field shipping, custodial, etc, etc.

I’ll email you the detailed agenda in the near future, we look forward to having Team 179 here for the Rodeo.

Thanks.
Dan .

P.S., the exact location is Freedom High School in South Orlando, the street address is:
Freedom High School

2500 Taft-Vineland Rd.

Orlando , fl.32837

Yeah im pretty sure they are having it, but not really doing much promotion outside of the orlando area, I will try and get more info for you all.

12

Please do, because we have car wash fund raisers already planned for that day. They are mandatory events for our students. Without something “official”, S.P.A.M. won’t consider making exceptions.

I posted about this in the S.P.A.M. forum a while back, been holding off to put in on CD until more information has been released.

it will be at FREEDOM high school (not evans) and definitely on October 22. More information is coming, no spreading rumors that there isn’t going to be one.

I will be asking soon about what the process is on signing up for volunteering and am happy to host any out-of-towners that would like to volunteer for the event. Contact me.

I voulinteer george to be the MC

15

George is a good MC…

16

As long as he can say NEE properly, I’ll agree. :smiley:

17

If George is MC, then I suppose I should finally do what I was supposed to do LAST year at Robot Rodeo and do play-by-play, eh?

(On the bright side, now I’m half-decent at it after The Capital Clash.)

18
