3 Tips on Velocity Vortex after watching Meet #1

12/14/2016

0 Comments

 
1. Parking on the Center Vortex Base or the Corner Vortex Ramp ONLY scores points during Autonomous, so don't bother parking in Endgame.

​2. Penalties are being called for hitting the Beacons and perimeter walls too hard. "Too hard" is somewhat subjective, but the referees' call is final so consider modifying your button pushing mechanism and/or implementing a drive-slow  mode for activating the Beacons.

​3. Lifting the Cap Ball before Endgame will prevent your team from scoring the Cap Ball at all - see <GS15>.

​Anyone have any other tips to share?  Please comment!

Seeking Dean's List interviewers

12/6/2016

0 Comments

 
Dean’s List Interviewers – We are still looking for volunteers to be interviewers for the Dean’s List in the San Diego region.  We still need the following volunteers:  3 for Gauss, 2 for Descartes, 3 for Euclid and 1 for Turing.  No experience is required!

  1. This is a great way to get parents or community members involved in the Region and for them to hear the amazing things our kids are doings.
  2. Volunteers can interview at the same site their team is competing, we just won’t have them interview one of their own team members.
  3. The Commitment is small: (i) complete a short online training, (ii) interview students on Feb 4 or 5, (iii) enter your interview notes in the system.

​If interested, please contact:
