Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

Is it too early to make predictions?

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

Yes.
We're still adding teams to the roster. And I know at least one of the team potentially coming is a major player in New England and someone to be reckoned with.

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

Predictions? Maybe. Scouting? Never :P

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

32 teams by my count. Is there a cap?

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

36 to 42 teams.
To officially secure your spot you have to pay your $250 entry fee by September 30th.

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

How many qualification matches can teams expect if there are 42 teams?

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

We are shooting for 6-7 qualification matches per team.

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

I've heard mumbles and rumors from some that more than one of 2791's alliance partners from this year are considering the trip. We had some pretty rad alliance partners this year.

I personally can't wait for the Ruckus. Last year it was one of the best offseasons I'd ever competed in. We had the pleasure of working with 1334 - their robot was pretty good but their team was phenomenal. We knew they had great things coming to them in 2013, but we had no idea they'd be as good as they are.

The depth this year is phenomenal. Multiple World Champions, 50 point dumpers, full court shooters, multi disc autonomous modes, and quality cyclers. There will be teams that won regionals as the captain or first selection that fall to the second round. I think 2791's going to have to step their game up big time to keep up.

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

Thanks for the kind words, Chris. Last year at the Ruckus we had some field communication issues and were dead in the water for some matches. Hope that doesn't happen this year. This has been our best year to date and included our first blue banner. The team is really looking forward to attending again this year.
