FIRST LA Capital event (Festival du robotique)
May 25th, 2017 LA State Capital Welcome Center:
This event has a three-fold purpose. It's primary purpose is so that those in the Senate and House can have the opportunity to see the awesome programs that FIRST provides. We are going to have FLL, FTC, and FRC teams present and you can expect to have a lot of VIPs circulating through the pits and watching the games, especially during lunch (11AM - 1PM) and after the session is over in the Capitol (5PM - 6PM).
All teams that participated in the World Championship in Houston will be recognized with a formal resolution in the House during the day. I'm not sure when this will occur yet, but we are going to be asking those teams to have a few members available to be recognized.
We are also coming to have fun. While this is a scrimmage, we will have official refs, an official score-keeper, FTAs, queuing - all of the things that you'd expect with an awesome off-season event. Our FTC and FLL teams will both have a full field of their own setup to show off their bots and I'm expecting that we will have a lot of excitement throughout the day. We haven't made a decision as to how we will play the final matches. Please be flexible as we go into the event and remember the primary purpose.
Location, Parking, and Load-In:
The event is being held at the State Capitol Welcome Center located at 702 River Rd, Baton Rouge, LA 70802. This is not the Capitol proper but a building that is close by. Parking for the event is located all around the Welcome Center but the easiest vehicle parking is located across River Road from the Welcome Center.
Loading in will take place off of Lafayette Street as seen in the map below:
Teams can either load in on the morning of the 25th or after 5PM on the 24th. Please let me know if you'd like to load in on the 24th.

General Schedule:
May 25th:
8:30AM - 10:00AM - Load In and Practice
10:00AM - 6:00PM - Game Play
1:00PM - Team Lunches
6:00PM - 8:00PM - Clean Up
*Please note that there are a few details to hammer out with the schedule that I will be sending out by Monday.
Game Play, Pit Sizing and Other Information:
We currently have 13 teams that will be attending the event. We should have enough space for each team to have a full 10X10 pit. Note that while the games are being played on a full-field outside under a tent, pits are being housed in the Welcome Center along with the FLL and FTC fields.
We will be playing using the official game rules as of the World Championship though some penalties may not be called as strictly.
With only 13 teams, we are going to be adding a few minutes in between matches to allow teams to change batteries and the like. You may be playing back to back matches from time to time - bring enough batteries with this in mind.
Volunteering:
Because this is a free scrimmage, we are asking that all teams assist us in volunteer roles throughout the day. We are asking that each team provide one or two people to act as ambassadors throughout the day. These ambassadors will be asked to show VIPs around and to be present during lunch to sit with Senators and Representatives to tell them about the importance of FIRST to the lives of students and mentors alike.
Secondarily, we are going to be trying something new. At the end of each match, we are asking for two people from the drive teams that just played to help reset the field. This way we can have matches move smoothly.
Food:
While food-trucks will be available to provide us wonderful food for free, we will not be eating lunch until 1PM so that we don't overwhelm the trucks and slow down the ability of the Senators and Representatives to get lunch and get back to the Capitol. With this in mind, you may want to bring snacks, drinks, and the like. Also - bring plenty of water as I'm sure we will be spending a good amount of time outside.
If I've missed any questions that you may have, please ask and I'll send a follow-up email.
