Archived team blast emails from the past week


FEBRUARY 3
Teams/Mentors:

Scouting for Alliances 
All Field Competition Results for all FTC Oregon League and Qualifying Tournaments are now posted on THE PURPLE ALLIANCE .
We have also submitted to the The Orange Alliance (aka #f57e25 Alliance, the official FTC posting site) but they are behind in posting results, so no idea when ours will be posted there.

 I see a high score match of 628 posted in Pennsylvania! WOWzer!  Is it on YouTube? 
Highest Match Score that I know of in Oregon is 454 scored at the TV/Rose City League Tournament last Saturday.

Payments for Super-Qualifier Weekend 
It's not automatic, but Jacie our payment tracker extraordinaire, updates this page Mon - Fri about twice a day. Let's turn Column-B ALL lime green by Monday, Feb 5 when SQ Payments are due.

SQ UPDATES
SQ Host Leads:  Jennifer Gingerich (Delta), Terry Alexander (Theta) and Kristin Bride (Pi) are doing a great job recruiting volunteers and helping me prepare for our big SQ weekend next week.  Check the SQ Info Page for updated information as we add it.   
We'll be posting site maps, parking information, and other details sometime this weekend.

Dear FIRST Tech Challenge Oregon Community:

Our thanks to our FTC Oregon Community for a great League Meet/League Tournament/Qualifying Tournaments for the  Relic Recovery Season. 

For the 104 teams who will not be competing at the Super-Qualifiers, we invite you to consider being part of the fun as a volunteer at our four remaining events. 

For our 94 teams Advancing to the FIRST Tech Challenge Super-Qualifier Weekend, last night  I sent an email to the primary mentors for each team. It was a test email to be sure you are receiving the information prior to the launch of SQ Venue Preference at 9:00 am 1/30.

Check your inbox for an email from ftcoregon.sq.teams@ortop.org .  Contact me if you did not receive an email last night, or if you are a primary mentor but are not listed as such in the official FIRST Team Registration system.

Event Results - Now that I have SQ sign-ups set to launch, I'll be working on posting event results over the next two days.

Take-away on the season: 
Improvements: We saw overall improved quality of engineering notebooks, over last season. We also saw a rise in the Control Award submissions. These are positive items. 

Places for  Improvements
?  Carefully reading needed of Game Manual 1 and Game Manual 2 and the Forum. Doing critical self-inspections of  Robot Inspection, Field Inspection and the Engineering Notebook. 

Looking forward to next season: Open applications for new League Hosts, new Qualifying Tournament Hosts, site search for new SQ sites. Workshops and a new ORTOP office with space for training, scrimmage and workshops!
