Hello FIRST Tech Challenge teams and North Texas volunteers!

FTC teams 19990, 19991, and 7172 “Technical Difficulties” are pleased to announce a robot workshop and scrimmage for Saturday, October 30, at Marcus Roboplex in Lewisville. The purpose of the workshop/scrimmage is to allow teams to share ideas and prepare for competitions.  We will also be using this event as an opportunity to train event volunteers and officials (referees, scorekeepers, inspectors) for the upcoming season.  We do not currently plan to have any judging, notebooks, or portfolios at the event.

Our tentative schedule, which we’ll adapt as needed on the day of the event:

9:00am Doors open, robot building, tech inspections
11:00am Scrimmage matches (and more building)
12:00pm Lunch (teams may bring their own lunch or …?)
12:30pm More matches, alliance selection if time permits
3:00pm Load-out

Who should come? – This scrimmage is intended for teams that need help and those that can provide help. If you fall into either end of that spectrum, please join us. If your robot doesn’t run yet, definitely come! If you are a rookie team consider this a mandatory event. If you can help a rookie team get their robot ready to roll and help get them through tech inspection, come on down. Space is limited however so sign-up.

The scrimmage is free of charge, but we ask that you pre-register for the event so we know how many to expect and can send further scrimmage details.  If you are bringing multiple teams, please register once for each team.  Please register if you are coming, even if you don’t have a robot or don’t intend to participate in scrimmage matches.

For more information, contact Patrick Michaud (pmichaud@pobox.com).  We hope to see you on October 30!
