Great team list!
20, 58, 88, 125, 131, 138, 155, 166, 172, 176, 190, 238, 319, 348, 467, 501, 509, 663, 811, 839, 1058, 1073, 1289, 1474, 1517, 1519, 1735, 1922, 2648, 2876, 3467, 3499, 3566, 3585

Rule Changes:
-A Great Pumpkin (an Oranged Colored Ball) will be randomly placed on the truss in one of 5 spots. Ball is worth 50 points in autonomous and 20 points in teleop.
-an alliance must have 4 balls on the field at the start of a match and each robot must start with at least one ball.

I have a couple of questions on the rule changes. How is it even possible to score the Orange ball in autonomous without breaking any other rules? Are some rules going to go away to make it possible? Also, how does the second rule apply to goalie bots? How do they start with a ball if they want to use their goalie stick?
Thanks.

34 teams this year! Is that more than ever before?

Looks like an awesome team list! I know we said last year looked like one of the most competitive River Rage events but this year's list looks more intense based on the season the teams have had! Looks like 20 Banners, 8 Finalists, and over 11 Championship invites/attendees!

It will be one heck of a competition to start winding down Aerial Assist and closing out the season for most teams. We'll be looking forward to one last showing at 319's inaugural event a few weeks later!

Those certainly are interesting rules.

If the ball is on the truss at the start of the match, how do you get it down and score it during auto? You can't reach up to grab it, and if you shoot it down, it goes to the other side of the field, which you can't grab without getting a technical foul. Any insight, or am I missing something?

There needs to be some clarification with the orange ball. I'm not sure if its 50 points for knocking it off the truss in auto (20 for teleop) or if those points are for simply scoring in the high goal. The later is extremely complex and pretty much impossible to do without breaking penalties.

Darn, we must have just missed registering on time. Oh well, 4909 will probably still attend. We have MANY new members and it's a great experience to see what FIRST is all about!
