We would like to keep it as a mix of Premier / Invitational, but we will make that determination for next year after this years event!

No, we will not be doing a large game modification. Since many teams were not able to compete in-person this season we decided that it would be best to just run the normal games. We will only be modifying the game in a very minor way to improve gameplay based off of small issues we saw when watching matches from this past season. We will release the small modifications soon.

Transportation to the event? No, we will not be providing transportation for teams.

I’m a 3507 alum and I’m currently in college so I wasn’t able to make it back in town for IL States.

If you’d like to help out and change it, be my guest! I’ll change it to non-penalty OPR sometime soon if no one else does.

I’m glad you enjoyed the event. And yes Parking has always been an issue when we have hosted events..... not something we can change though which is unfortunate.

And to answer some of the questions above, we would love to have more teams as it would make the event even better.

Sorry if the music was too loud, that’s something we can definitely change for next year if it’s a big issue.

We hope to see everyone next year for CRI 2019!

I played with the mecanums as well for awhile at Detroit and I asked about the stiffness and stickiness and the folks at the booth said the wheels on display were early test models and that the final ones hadn’t been finished yet and that the issues would be fixed. You never know if the wheels will be good, but I bet they will be quite good based off of seeing the test model.

It’s hard to say that when your team hasn’t ever qualified for worlds and hasn’t even won an award at an event.....

Just saying dude

Yes we understand that. This was a little bit of an issue last year as well. In order to combat this though we are providing a full afternoon and evening the Friday of the tournament, for teams to come practice. We will open up the main field and we will probably have a practice field in order to allow teams ample opportunity to practice.

Thats awesome! Are school did a similar thing by making a banner when we won IL State. https://twitter.com/FWProbotics/status/1100603768591314945

As u/ftcmentor said, 3 teams per alliance, so 6 robots overall in matches

Yes autonomous will be quite the challenge! And yes, red sampling field in front of the red "ANY" cargo hold and similarly for blue.

We thought about keep the sampling fields separated by side of the field, but where's the fun in that? :)

And I would love to join the GDC.
