NYCFIRST FLL UPDATE - Prepping for March 14 Tournament at Javits
Dear Teams,
We are 10 days away and I'm
getting some nervous emails from coaches about what they need to know.
Please ask me anything and I will answer in the next email.
TEAM INFO SHEET - ATTACHED
This
must be
handed in to me or an assistant at the entrance to the pit area which I
will be ferociously guarding and will use offensive line blocking
techniques to assure each team turns it in -- and those who forget to
bring it - don't ask me for a pen to fill out another one. When you hand
in your sheet you will get a folder of materials for the day with
schedule, etc.
SCHEDULE -
We open the pit area at 8AM. We should be done by 4-4:30.
I have a tentative schedule in spreadsheet form of judging and performance times. I am not sending it out at this time, pending modifications. We will have copies in your folder.

Opening ceremonies are planned for 9:20am, followed by judging sessions. Performance rounds will begin approximately at noon, with 3 rounds to be completed by each team.
Between arrival and 9:20 there will be a coaches meeting - probably near the playing field.
Also
you must see Veryl Green to get your robots inspected. She will either
be near the playing field or at her team pit table 9.
You should bring your mats and FSK if you want to practice.
There should be outlets to plug in laptops.
Watching your stuff
Over
all my 13 years of being involved I can recall only 2 or 3 instances of
something that went missing - a laptop, a tablet. But this is a free
entry area with no security so you need to consider how to protect your
property just in case.
Phones, tablets, laptops can be tempting targets.
There are hundreds or people milling around.
And a reminder -- few if any chairs - so bring them or bring something to put on the floor for kids to sit on.
You have room in the aisles but table space can be tight.
And share with neighbors.
CHANGES IN SOME PIT ASSIGNMENTS -
Since
the last update, I received requests from people to be grouped with
sister or brother teams and I tried my best. Last minute requests, with
the deadline I had, put too much pressure on my aging brain. See the
attached update pit table list. Check for team and school/organization
names for errors and get back to me by tonight. Note pits in particular
numbers 20, 53, 80 for modifications. I didn't include team names this
time but will post on the Norms Robotics blog.
JAVITS GENERAL LAYOUT attached.
Our
pits are to the upper right, judging on the lower right and competition
area is at the bottom where you see Bleachers. Print out some copies
for yourself and parents and colleagues who may be coming.
I sent out the detailed pit map in a recent update -- print that out.
Note the JFLL - ages 6-9 - exhibition area in the middle -- stop by to visit.
FRC
It is important to make this a full learning experience for the kids and having some context will help.
There
is a concurrent 3 day tournament going on for the high schools and they
get a good deal of space. They are the top half of the map -- their pit
area is at the very top and you should try to find some time to take
your team on a tour --- you will need safety glasses to get in -- they
loan them out at the entrance.
Also watch a few rounds of the competition.
This is the FRC competition - with 6 robots on the field at a time.
Here is a link if you want to school your kids so they know what is happening -- http://www.nycfirst.org/
Last year an FTC exhibition was set up in the front of the pit area
-- I'm not sure if this is happening again. That competition took place
separately. This is also for high schools. You can read about it here: http://www.nycfirst.org/
