Saline Summerfest (August 11th 2012) Coordination Thread

[mini-z]

Thanks Okabe! I've set up ZRound as follows:

Car 1: 6 (Dojo)
Car 2: 14 (Mini-Z)
Car 3: 22 (Okabe)
Car 4: 8 (YoYo-Pete)
Car 5: 11 (Bryan)
Car 6: ?? (Chuck)

While we should be covered, assuming Chuck brings/still has his, please bring yours anyway if you're not on the above list in case of failures, forgetfulness, etc. Thanks!

I've got AirDisplay set up on the Nexus 7 for remote timing and scoring BTW.

Spear transmitters and cars are expected if available.
I'm going to bring my chargers, Mini-Zs as well.
Do I need to bring my chair and workbench?
In case of rain, what should we do?

[YoYo-Pete]

I only have 1 chair.

Deca "may" come but I got his approval to use his transponder (I just have to remember to grab it). Maybe I can borrow his camp chair too.

I cant find my battery charger power cable. Hope it turns up tonight (I moved since I last used it).

Will bring "cool" cars to set around and "wow" the children with.

Is the Air Display using the android app? (What's it called, I wiped my phone and dont have it anymore)

We have spare "fronts" and "rears" in the "NASCAR Parts Bin" - the "fronts" are basically an entire MR-015 NASCAR with wheels and everything from the H-plate back removed, and the "rears" are the LM pods that we use on these cars w/ motor, diff, etc. - basically we have enough to create a few spare cars, but we don't have assembled cars that we could just drop on the track in the event of catastrophic damage etc. Honestly it would probably be a good idea to create one or two from these parts if we have time before the race starts...! In the past it's been rare for all 6 cars to race at once - I think during the hottest times in fact we did 3 at a time so the other 3 could cool off. But I like what you're thinking here...!

If you would like to bring your own workspace, that would be great - you can just work away without kids bugging you etc. like last year - except more comfortably! Or, we have a big table that should fit everyone just fine too.

Coo. Even if you can't find PS, bring the unit in case mine explodes or something - redundancy w/b a good thing. Please also bring paint pens if easy, w/b helpful for marking stuff etc. (e.g. duplicate chargers, batteries to prevent mix-ups).

Yes, for sure bring cool cars - thanks for pointing that out - we usual display/demo our cars so people can see what's possible etc. ...

Yes, this is the Android version, though the one I've used at the Dojo before was iOS - they have both now and you can use the same PC app to drive either!

Btw, Mrs. Mini-Z has really outdone herself w/ the Leaderboard and Dojo Promo:

[mini-z]

Reminder to wear Dojo Polos if you've got them; and if you haven't - LMK, because you'll have earned one by helping out w/ this event!

[MRDAVT]

I don't have any Dojo Polos.

[monkeyZ]

I also don't have a polo... I need a medium shirt... on a man.

[mini-z]

We will be sure to get your guys taken care of; just let us know size and what name you want (typically forum name, but not sure if you guys want "Okabe" or "BT" etc.)...!

[MRDAVT]

I expect Men's Large. The name I preferred is "Okabe". Thanks

[monkeyZ]

I will take a medium with BT on it. Please keep it both capital letters since I am kind of a big deal.

[mini-z]

Will do on the polos! I did not set up the track this AM, just dropped it off, since the ground is wet/in case it got rained on. I think we'll have plenty of time to set it up though, and we could even re-work to fit under E-Z Ups etc. in theory...?
