Not only are the Clarkson Kids looking forward to RCCR, the highschoolers, especially me, are also counting down the days. So, keep up the good work guys. Keep planning.

Don't worry Jay, the plans are well underway!! This should be tons of fun!

We are finding out that it doesnt take eons of planning to actually pull this off, though Im sure everything will get down to the wire! Can't wait to see you all there!

Re: Rah Cha Cha Ruckus 2005!!!
 

Anyone else notice the fact that only people who are current/former/future 229ers have posted in this thread?

(and I've continued the trend...)

Wish I could go to the competition. Sounds exciting!

I'm planning on coming for Saturday anyway, to facilitate a NEMO workshop. :)

Re: Rah Cha Cha Ruckus 2005!!!
 

Well I'm glad to see the Rochester FIRST Community come together like this. It's an awesome sight and a great crowd to work with for a passion we all have. This will be a lot of fun for all I'm sure.

Latest Update:
We have a website!!
http://www.firstrochester.org/Ruckus/index.htm

Its still in progress for the volunteers page and the halloween party page, but registration is now open! 24 local teams will be sent invites, but any team may register to get on the list.

And we will DEFINITELY be in need of volunteers (free shirts and food!!) I will post when that part of the site is ready.

#1213 is looking forward to Rah Cha Cha. We caught a break in that there's no school at Groves on Friday the 28th. Looks like we may have a complete drive team make the trip to NY.

Hope we end up with more teams than the ten listed so far. Sixteen would be a good number. OTOH, few teams means more matches, which is fine with us. We had ten teams at Novi-Expo and went 2 on 2 instead of 3 on 3 most of the time. We liked that format - scores were still high because there was more room to move.

Re: Rah Cha Cha Ruckus 2005!!!
 

Hmm.. are you really doing robot inspections at the Rukus??

That's a first I think for a mini comp.. that I know of anyways...

Cool cool...


I wish I could go.. that would be a cool way to spend my birthday (October 30th - Shop early & Shop Big!! :p ) ..

Of course, I would have to take a side trip and get a free Garbage Plate at Nick Tahou's for said b-day... or somewhere as equally good.. I hear they are the "must eat" meal to have while in Rochester.

Re: Rah Cha Cha Ruckus 2005!!!
 

and if you were looking for more reasons to convince your team of coming a garbage plate is definitely one of them

Re: Rah Cha Cha Ruckus 2005!!!
 

Great to have you guys attend! Let us know if you need anything.

Re: Rah Cha Cha Ruckus 2005!!!
 

Several students from the Rush-Henrietta rookie team will hopefully be coming. I cant wait to be there. :)

Re: Rah Cha Cha Ruckus 2005!!!
 

If you guys want we have our backup robot for you to use.
It'll be a great experience and alot of fun.

Re: Rah Cha Cha Ruckus 2005!!!
 

Dan,

We are meeting for a driver's practice at our site. I forwarded the address to your teacher Mr.Darin Ledwith. But in case email me and I'll forward you the info too so you can tell the rest of your teammates. Ellery.Wong@xerox.com

We can also setup some time either Monday or Tuesday to let you practice as well.
