Re: THANK YOU!!!!
 

We aim to please. That is one of the great things about running Battle Cry as an unofficial competition: we can fix games that are broken.

Is WPI going to have any extra team shirts to sell and battlecry shirts???

There will be BattlyCry shirts available for sale in addition to the 10 free shirts provided to each attending team. I don't know about 190 shirts, those may be in short supply.

I see... If there is anyway you can poosibly get me a 190 shirt to buy or something then I would be greatly thankful...

ok yay we are on the ready reserve list position #6 i hope we get in, i cant wait, i know even if my team doesnt get in, im still gunna be there!

Battlecry Ready Reserves
 

Team 102 is currently in 9th position on the ready reserves list. I was just wondering how many reserve teams made it to Battlecry last year and what the chances are for us attending this year.

I'm not on staff for the event, but I know there were only 30 teams from last year that completed the required 'pre-registration' bit, meaning that there were 6 first-come, first-serve slots. That means the first 6 'ready-reserves' should make it in, and then any spots reserved to teams that pre-registered last year but don't respond by 8 May will go to those others on the list, in the order that they are listed at www.wpi.edu/+battlecry

But like I said, I'm not on staff.. but that's been the talk. Just fyi.

Waiting list
 

Hey, just wondering what's up with the waiting list. My team has been on the waiting list since the May 1st shortly after 8:00. I understand that you are waiting for other previous participants to respond, but teams that were below us on the waiting list are above us now, what's up with that!? Please fill me in we are really hoping we get in to battlecry!

Ok-

I just talked to one of the staff people to figure out what is going on. Basically the ready reserve list online is not in the correct order (not before, not now). They are going to try and have it fixed by tomorrow (Wednesday). 8 May is the final day for pre-registered to register, then all spots will be filled, and you will know for sure.

So try checking tomorrow for the list, but all teams in the final 36 should be officially up on 9 May, pending payments.

Hope that helps. And if your team does not make it in, but you are coming anyway, there may be volunteering spots open for field resetting and stuff.

thanks
 

thank you colleen for filling me in on the situation. I was un aware of this and I was looking for some answers. I would like to come up and just volunteer, but my entire team is looking forward to coming and giving our bot another shake down.

thanks,
