SCRIW XIII (South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops 2024)

Competition Off-Season Events
, ,
1

For the thirteenth time, teams 1293 and 2815 present SCRIW, the South Carolina Robotics Invitational and Workshops!

SCRIW is the Carolinas’ oldest off-season competition, bringing teams from the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, and even Florida together for one more round of CRESCENDO presented by Haas and a great slate of workshops for teams to match. It’s the perfect place to bring your new team members or try that new upgrade out!

(And yes, the mentor match for a worthy cause will be back.)

SCRIW XII will be held October 12, 2024, at Dreher High School in Columbia, South Carolina.

New this year: We adjusted our gameday schedule a bit now that we’ve seen how teams reacted to the Friday night load-in opportunity.

We’ve worked hard to hold the line on pricing:

  • $400 if payment is postmarked by October 1
  • $500 if postmarked after October 1, or received at the event
  • $250 for B-teams, second robots fielded by the same organization. B-teams will be officially confirmed on August 1.
  • 2025 rookie teams compete at no charge.

Registration for SCRIW is now open at SCRIW.org . We’ll see you soon!

We submitted a registration form 6 days ago (when originally announced), but haven’t heard back yet. The registration form indicated to expect a response in 48 hours. Are those responses just delayed, or might something be amiss?

It’s me, I’m the amiss part. :sweat_smile:

Email coming tonight.

I had a great time volunteering at SCRIW last year and would again this year but I unfortunately have a schedule conflict. I hope you all have a blast!

We’ll miss you, but we’ll have you back anytime!

We’ve got our first registrations in. 342 was the first to push the button, we’ve got our first pre-rookies in 10231, and we just casually got a rookie team with four blue banners in LYNK.

Exciting, mentor matches are fun to watch. Is there a chance y’all could throw in some human exhibition matches (no robots, just humans on the field) as well?

Interesting thought. Let us figure out how we’re structuring playoffs (and in particular, playoff timeouts).

Now that I’m back and settled in from my little jaunt across the Atlantic, let’s update registration. Welcome deep inhale 1287, 3635, 4935, 6340, 8736, 8866 (in stereo), and 2025 rookies 10171!

If you’re keeping score, we now have the top 2024 district points earners in both North Carolina and South Carolina. And #3 in Georgia. This will be fun.

We have room for 6 more robots. Registration is open at SCRIW.org.

Ladies, gentlemen, and robot friends,

I thought last year’s full house in mid-September was the high water mark for SCRIW. And yet here we are: fully three weeks earlier with a wait list. I’m floored.

This is also the first time we’ve had to articulate a waiting list policy: First come first served, except that 2025 rookies with a robot will move to the front of the line.

Welcome to the field some real heavy hitters: 2024 Peachtree District Champion 8575, 2024 PCH Impact Award winner 3489, 2024 Peachtree District Finalist and four-time SCRIW Champions 4451, and longtime SCRIW friends 8137!

Hi, everyone! We have some updates.

1287 had to scratch, creating an opening from the waiting list. 8575 was very kind to bump their second robot down the waiting list a bit so we could welcome SCRIW VIII champions 3506, YETI Robotics!

This is looking like a strong event so far! I’m so stoked to play crescendo in South Carolina again (RIP the combined PCH district :cry:)
