Last year was five and I believe the year before was something similar.

Re: RiverRage 17
 

I'm excited for another RiverRage especially for my is senior year. should be an interesting competetition indeed. And being in a new facility sounds great, a change of scenerary is nice. Go FIRST teams!

Re: RiverRage 17
 

One more question: I have checked everywhere on the website, and I can't seem to find a schedule. Do you guys at least know when teams should arrive?

Re: RiverRage 17
 

This is going to be a very, very competitive event! Can't wait til Saturday!

Re: RiverRage 17
 

This should be a great event, and snow is not forecast!

Re: RiverRage 17
 

Only in New England do we worry about a blizzard for an October competition. (Snowtober!)

Re: RiverRage 17
 

So psyched. Ready to go, with my Halloween costume! haha

Re: RiverRage 17
 

Prepare for trouble...

Re: RiverRage 17
 

Does anyone have alliance selection results?

Re: RiverRage 17
 

I don't have all of the alliances but the finals was 3467, 1517, and 2648 (2 seed and winners) and 20, 190, and 151. The only other alliances I remember were the 5 seed, 155, 1289, and 1058, and the 4 seed, 125, 839 and 348. (These two alliances made it the farthest through the losers bracket.)

Re: RiverRage 17
 

Here are the alliances. This first team is the captain, the second the pick from the "Great Pumpkin", and the third the alliance's pick.

1. 20 151 190
2. 3467 1517 2648
3. 172 2423 166
4. 125 348 839
5. 155 1289 1058
6. 1519 509 138
7. 176 3958 131
8. 319 811 1073

Thank you to our alliance partners, 20 and 151. It was great to work with you, and we had a blast!

Re: RiverRage 17
 

Team 3467 had a blast at River Rage! Big congratulations to our newer students who stepped up as drivers during qualifications as well as playing the role of pit crew!

Thank you to our elimination partners of 1517 and 2648! You guys were so much fun to work with and your drivers and robots performed amazingly! It was so cool to get to work with 2648 one last time after a very memorable season together at Pine Tree, Indiana Robotics Invitational, and finally River Rage! We wish the best of luck to your two teams moving into 2014 and we look forward to seeing and playing with you if possible! :)

Thank you to the host Manchester teams as well as Goffstown High School for hosting the event it was amazing as always!

Re: RiverRage 17
 

Team 20 took a bunch of photos. While some are of our team, there are a bunch of other pictures as well.

RiverRage was a BLAST this year!
Thanks to our alliance partners, 190 and 151, for an intense run in eliminations. Trying to get everything to come together in auto to beat that #2 alliance was such a challenge, and I thoroughly enjoyed going through it with you.
Congrats to the eventual champions- 3467, 2648, and 1517- for your victory. Once I saw your alliance come together I knew who we'd have to play in the finals. The Pine Tree-IRI reunion was too much for any alliance there to handle.

And lastly, I'd like to shout out to 1519.
If only we could have played on the same side of the glass as you.
After your first match all of our freshmen came up to me astounded- "Did you see that robot? It scored SO many frisbees from all the way over there!"
Without the "Great Pumpkin", I wonder if we could have ended up playing together in the end.

Thank you everyone who made this event possible for making my final RiverRage as a student the best it could be.

Re: RiverRage 17
 

Team 2648 also had a great time at RiverRage this year! Definitely my favorite RiverRage so far!

Thanks to our alliance partners 3467 and 1517. Playing with you guys again was awesome! 3467, your solid auto, fast cycles and 30 pt climb made you deadly all year long. 1517, your auto and great defense made you a very strong robot all day, the great pumpkin made the right choice to let 3467 pick you!

20, 151, and 190 you guys were awesome. When I saw your alliance form I knew NO ONE could take you down easily and I was right.

Thanks to everyone that made RiverRage 17 so fantastic!
