BunnyBots 2016 is now full at 25 robots. We can consider a second robot from one more team as our biggest constraint is gym bleachers, not pit space.

Re: BunnyBots 2016
 

A small update to the BunnyBot Rules has been posted at www.team1540.org/bunnybots. Here are the changes:

Update on how burrows are attached to the floor. “These are firmly attached to a 36” x 36” x .16 aluminum plate that is taped to the floor with 4” gaffers tape on all four sides.”

Also an addition to the Penalty section: “Robot drivers should get enough practice before the event to be able to avoid repeatedly hitting the burrows. Robots that make a habit of doing so will receive 10 point penalties at the referee’s discretion."

Finally, clarification on what impeding the flow of the game means with regards to stealing bunnies. Basically don't stop people from going around the figure eight.

Alas due to weather we've had to reschedule BunnyBots 2016 to Friday Dec 30th. Hope to see everyone then. Weather updates and details at www.team1540.org/bunnybots

Re: BunnyBots 2016
 

I'm very excited for bunnybots this year! Hopefully the 30th is all clear.
So proud of the students on 2471! They have been working and learning very hard this pre-season.

Re: BunnyBots 2016
 

Since your team has won BunnyBots every year in recent memory I can only imagine what it means for your team to be working especially well this season:ahh:

See you (hopefully) on the 30th!

Re: BunnyBots 2016
 

All indications are that the weather will be back to our typical pattern on Friday, Dec 30th so barring unforeseen weather or national disaster BunnyBots will take place on that day as rescheduled. Teams are welcome to load into their pits Thursday Dec 29th from 1:00 to 6:00pm if they like. We plan to have the field set up by 2:00pm should you want to do a little driving practice Thursday.

Live stream will be up Friday morning at www.team1540.org/bunnybots

Bunnybots was a fantastic event and learning opportunity once again this year, so I want to thank everyone who helped run it! I think everyone on Team Mean Machine had a great time, and the game was a blast all around.

Thanx for having BunnyBot event. This year our team has 11 rookies and only 3 veterans. BunnyBots was an ideal introduction to FRC. The one day format makes it affordable for a rural team.
