578 has a spare bridge. We'll bring it just in case anyone needs it.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

With a large number of our friends (and former students) attending this event, 2168 is currently seriously discussing sending up at least a skeleton crew with the Fat Swan.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

Yes! Do it! DO IT!

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

Do we expect to have 10x10' pits? This would be a great chance for all teams to experiment with pit improvements before regionals.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

Fingers crossed!

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

I would love to see the fat swan one more time before it goes into retirement. I'm sure Tim would too.:p

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

Team 73 is now registered for the Ruckus.

We are making plans for rebuilding the robot to make it a scoring robot.
Look forward to posting pics and seeing you guys there.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

and with that we've hit 24.
We have room for more!

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

If you do, I can bring 2 (3 if someone likes riding on the backseat hump of a Subaru for 4.5 hours) of your teammates along when we head out from Boston if you are looking for seats.

If we could convince 2168 and 558 to come from CT, and 2791 to come from Albany, we could make it a Clarkson University alumni event just like the CT and Boston Regionals this year :D

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

That would be awesome. Clarkson University and its alumni seem to have taken over New England. Let's take over Ruckus, too! :P

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

As an RPI student, I'm quite disappointed with the recent infection of Clarkson onto our team. :P One of 2791's alumni goes to Clarkson and our current drive coach is himself a Clarkson alum, so they outnumber me... Maybe I should transfer.

Will there be mentor matches at this year's Ruckus? I wanna play again!

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaybe.
Me and Alex are bouncing around ideas for a fun game to play during the event but perhaps we could make way for a little mentor match action too. We'll ask the committee next meeting.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

One of the guiding goals of Ruckus is providing a safe and comfortable event while retaining exciting and fun competition. Our intent is to provide normal size 10x10 pits with that in mind. We cannot promise this for certain quite yet but it is certainly one of our high priority goals.
Also for those who have attended in recent years and found seating tight you will be happy to know the new venue will comfortably seat approximately 1400 people the way we have it currently configured.

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

If I'm driving in mentor rounds, I'm playing lots of defense. :cool:

...mainly because I'm doubting any copilot candidates can score. Defense and balancing, for the win!

Re: 2012 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

Yes, I hear RIT could use a few more FIRST alumni! (And we're mere minutes from the ruckus venue... and host a regional... ;) )
