Good luck to our champion teams this weekend in Tacoma for FTC West Super-Regional! I'm still looking for a few more teams to demo and a field for Friday and Saturday March 10 & 11 for the FTC Demo at the FRC Regional "FIRST Steamworks" game at Del Mar Fairgrounds. It would be great to get two teams at a time for: 10-4 Friday and 8-12 Saturday Thank you to those that have volunteered for the FTC Demo so far:
I also need an FTC field preferably for the whole event. Can be setup anytime after 6PM on Wed and taken down at Noon on Saturday. There is plenty of room to set up any pit display or anything you want. We are located at the pit entry along with the college and sponsor tables, plenty of visibility. Should be a decent view of the FRC game as well. No meals are planned. There will be concession food available or you can bring your own. There may be even some opportunity to rotate in for a shift doing field reset for FRC on Friday. That's a lot of fun! I can provide one parking pass per team. Reply back with your availability, and I'll get you the parking pass. Thank you, Dan Glenn DanGlenn2050@gmail.com Chairman, San Diego FRC Regional Planning Committee Green.Griffins; 10092 http://www.sandiegoregional.com/ |
