The Game is Unveiled

Date:

September 13, 2008
Time: 9:00 AM Until about Noon
Location: Howe High School, Howe

 

Your NT BEST 2008 Contest clock is about to start, are you ready?

Come see Squeaky's redneck cousin this year!

Please be on time for the Kickoff so you won't miss anything!  See you at 9:00 AM!


At the Kick off event the contestants are shown the playing field and given the concept, specifications and rules for this year's contest.  This is where imaginations and designs start flowing.  You can just see the 'wheels turning' as the teams gather all the data and information they can.

Rules for a successful kickoff

  •  Be prepared to transport your kit contents with you when you leave. We will be using the gift card again this year, so the amount of material you need to transport is not large.

  •  Charge your batteries because there may be limited electrical outlets available.

  •  Bring your camera!

 

Special BRAIN training at Kickoff

  •  At the Kickoff event there will be a special quick-start training class for advanced programming of the BRAIN controller (and some info on the basics).

  • If you would like some help in installing the BRAIN software, bring your laptop.

  •  Attendance at this class is limited to 2 persons from each team.

These 2 team members may attend the class while other team members are inventorying the kit and having a closer look at the field. This session should last no more that 45 minutes.

** The following teams have not returned their "Return Kit." We cannot process your application or issue you a BRAIN controller unless we have this kit!
Contact Philip Sipe or Steve Marum immediately!
