Registered Teams:
1538 2496 3647 Teams who say they're going to attend, but haven't registered: 399 1323 2485 2493 There have been a handful more teams who have said they're interested, but haven't committed to coming yet.

Hey folks,
Here are a few updates: Team list 399 Eagle Robotics 1538 The Holy Cows 2102 Team Paradox 2375 The Dragons 2485 W.A.R.Lords 2496 TruBlu Robotics 3021 The Agency 3255 SuperNURDs 3341 Manhattan Project 3453 DEM BOTS 3476 Code Orange 3647 Millennium Falcon Robotics With all the teams in the area just starting back to school, I expect to get a rush of teams in the next week or so. I believe the event to be at or above 25 teams. Rule Updates We have released our rule changes for this year, including the addition of "Pink Robots". You can read about them here. Charities We've updated our list of charities as well as how you can help them while you're at Battle at the Border. You can read about them here. A special thing we're doing this year is helping Team 2493 - RoboKong get back on their feet after their trailer was stolen this summer. I encourage everyone to go to the charities page and read about how you can help. --Jon |

Just another update:
We're now up to 18 teams: 399 973 1266 1538 1572 2102 2375 2485 2493 2496 3021 3255 3341 3453 3476 3647 3965 4160 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. |

Re: Battle at the Border 2012 Registration Now Open!
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? |
Re: Battle at the Border 2012 Registration Now Open!
973 unfortunately had to pull out of this event :(
