4124 is in now, too! However, we do draw from the same group of kids (229 was once both schools), so if you need 4124's bot for a pre-rookie, please let me know- we'll bring it either way.

Registration for teams does not typically close until about a week or two before the event. However, we're carefully watching registrations to make sure we don't outgrow the venue or have to resort to uncomfortable squishing of team pits. So for teams out there considering coming please do consider registering sooner rather than later :)

The mentors are gonna have another talk about ruckus in our next meeting, which is the 20th.

I still don't know if I'm going to be needed as a team mentor or if I could be a volunteer. If the event happens to need an extra hand somewhere the day of and I'm with the team, just let me know and where you need me.

This is what happens when I'm not really in the loop. :P

Woo! 174 is making its first appearance at Ruckus! We are hungry for a competition win, so better bring your A-game everyone!

30 Teams in August is awesome! What's the cap?

This is going to be the best ruckus ever!

A) Right now we have space laid out for 32 teams. We may be able to squeeze a few more in. Honestly, I don't think we anticipated having 30 teams already signed up in August.

B)Hopefully! A lot of great teams, a new, bigger venue, and some other things in the works! It will definitely be a great time!

Also I'm totally in for a Mentor Match if we are going to do them.

Someone contact 3173! We need the IgKNIGHTers to still join us.

Well there's one of the two to reach 32 but I don't know who the other team is.

Before last year we never had 24 teams (and the only reason we got to 24 was because 340 brought two robots). This is a HUGE step up for this event.

This will be an awesome ruckus.

Thanks to the ruckus committee for hosting an awesome event!!

Can we do something like human basket ball at the end of the ruckus, or like a game of knockout or something?:cool:

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 
My concern now is how will this influence the number of matches each team plays.

We're now slightly larger than the Waterloo regional (which had 30 teams). Waterloo played 44 matches on Day 1, which I believe was about 9 matches a team. Not bad. Except Waterloo played qualification matches on Day 1 from 9:30 to 4:44 PM. Take out the hour and a half for lunch, So that's about 5.5 hours of qualification matches. And, Waterloo, being a two day event, didn't play eliminations until Day 2. Being a one day event, Ruckus runs qualification matches and elimination matches the same day.

Going off of last year's schedule, qualification matches are played for about 4 hours (8:30 - 11:30, 1 - 2). If 4 hours of Waterloo gameplay, about 30 matches were played. Between 6-7 matches per team. Given that we're already larger than Waterloo, and are still potentially growing, we're probably looking at 6.

I, personally, think this is a bit low. But, I really just put this up to give people a speculative guesstimate. Truth be told, I'll gladly take a shorter match schedule for the now expanded team list :) I love all the great teams coming to Ruckus!

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS ALL SPECULATION. IN NO WAY DOES THIS GUARANTEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT RUCKUS. THIS IS JUST SOMETHING I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT AND WANTED TO LOOK AT.
