Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

Team 291 will be making a return to Ruckus!

As we get closer to the event, remember to start thinking about items you can bring to the Mega Drive!


We hope you are excited as we are! 12 days left!

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

Looking forward to Ruckus 2013! Three questions as we prepare for Ruckus:

1. Any estimation on number of qualification matches per team?

2. Because of the number of teams, will eliminations be a standard competition setup this year versus what was done in the past?

3. Will the webcast be running off of this link?

Can't wait!

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

Is there a cutoff date for registration?

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

It's supposed to be today.

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

We hope to have 6-7 matches per team. As we did last year, the elimination set up will be the same as a FIRST competition. Teams responded well to this, so we decided not to change anything.

I don't know about the webcast.

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

We're still working to determine if a webcast will be possible this year. Due to the venue change, there's a number of logistics for us to work through to make it happen. We're trying, but it may not come together -- if it does not, we do apologize for all those out there who want to watch live. If we are able to produce one, it will be at the link you asked about.

We will have match video posted to youtube after the event concludes either way.

Looking forward to seeing all the teams at the event! Best of luck in the competition, and hope you all enjoy it!

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

We are always ready to Ra Cha Cha Ed!! :cool:

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

We're... kinda ready?

We've been making upgrades to our robot over the past month that allow us to stack frisbees in our shooter and load from the middle slot. Both these modifications together should let us cycle more quickly and reliably. We're still working out the kinks of these changes, but our on-season driver was able to load frisbees twice as quickly and shoot a little faster than before. Ideally this will make us good for 4+ cycles a match. We'll see.

Either way, we're definitely super excited for Ruckus. The competition field is crazy deep this year. The prospect of a pair of Canadian teams as the #1 alliance is quite scary!

Re: 2013 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus!
 

I think the top two alliances cold be Canadian.
