In addition to the previous rule changes, we will also be eliminating the Kinect Station.

We will also be selling "Battle at the Border 2012" t-shirts for $12/each. There are a limited number of shirts available, so make sure to arrive early and purchase your shirts from the concession stand.

Also, teams can drop off their robots and tools and set up their pit area. Friday night (October 19th) between 6pm-8pm. This is to help relieve congestion Saturday morning. We're going to try and start running practice matches Saturday morning at 8:30am so that we can get every robot on the field once.

3476 Code Orange will be coming, can't wait to create friendships between the teams.

Can't wait to compete (with a flywheel redesign), and cheer on Team RoboKong's comeback!

Re: Battle at the Border 2012 Registration Now Open!
 

Finished up Phoenix last night for Battle at the Border. Robot is looking pretty sweet. It is 37" wide by 23" long. It has an arm that can lower the bridge as well as scoop up balls on the opposing alliance side of the field and drop them over the barrier.

Looking forward to setup on Friday night and competition on Saturday!

Any more information on the webcast?

973 unfortunately had to pull out of this event :(

Any chance of seeing it at the Fall Classic or Madtown?

Re: Battle at the Border 2012 Registration Now Open!
 

Maybe Fall Classic, not sure. We have FLL events during Fall Classics and the Fall Workshops during Madtown.

How about a road trip to Atascadero for a little one on one with Encore?
