Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

I'm astounded by how much 48/3193's machine can hang off the bridge. It looks like it's just barely hanging on for dear life, but it balances. So 1507, 340 and 610 have balancing aids, as does 48, and, if they attend, 3193.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

Other teams like 188 have plenty of triple balance experience too.

We can add 639 to that list basically they tripled at flr and Champs and dc I believe?

But the thing to note is not all the same drive teams form competition are the same for the ruckus. But it shows their robots have the capability of it.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

Our drive coach will be the same, but our drivers are graduating. :eek:

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

I'm trying my hardest to make sure 174's mentors get the memo about it this year. There was a lot of talk among the mentors about Ruckus being a "must go" before the season began. So, cross your fingers...

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

3/4 of this year's Drive Team were seniors. We typically have 2 Drive Teams at Ruckus just to allow more people to have the experience and try out. The only veteran will be our operator.

FRC 1334, The Red Devils, are very pleased to be able attend the Ruckus in October. Our first off-season event since the end of the Canada's Wonderland version.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

I'm hoping Canada's Wonderland (or something like it ) can one day return.

This year's Ruckus is shaping up to be a fantastic event in a great new venue! We have more space than before and we would love to see some more teams! It's a great time, and a fantastic way to train new members before the new season starts!

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

Hey Everyone! Registration is still open and we would love to have your team come to Ruckus! It really is a great event, and the new location will make this year's Ruckus even better! We have a a lot of teams already registered, and many are from Canada (is Ruckus the new Canada's Wonderland? :P ) Right now, local teams are participating n the Rochester Rampage at the fair, so I took the opportunity to take a picture of the new facility! Hope to see you there!

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

I noticed the volunteers page on the website says that volunteer registration is expected to open at the end of June. It's halfway through July now, any update?

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

I got word from the higher ups...looks like 174 is not going again.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

There were a few things that needed to be worked out before registration opened. The latest update says it should hopefully open towards the end of this week. Sorry for the delay, and thank you for your interest in volunteering!

Evan, that is unfortunate to hear. 174 had a great robot this year. Hopefully the Arctic Warriors will be able to make it up someday :)
