ok... so we're about 2 weeks from competition... can you update the list of participating teams??? and what do we have to change the modem for competition like in other comprtitions (such as regionals, monty, br2, etc.)?

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

I will be sending out an update in the next few days

be sure tohave your programming laptop,modems and dongle with you. Last week at DoD there were field issues that required them and we want all teams to be prepared

we are sitting at 31 teams. Almost all are registered and paid.

Expect a team contact email this weekend

I so wish I could be there. It's going to be so weird missing Brunswick Eruption... for the first time in my life! I hope you all have a great time- I'll miss all my old friends :(

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

Don't forget to post photos of the Evil Sundaes and their secret ingredients - or at least hints after the event. I loved helping make them evil last year. It was great fun! Actually, I loved the whole visit and am sorry to miss it this year. :)

Good luck teams!

I better be amused by funny costumes. I'll be sporting this little guy during elimination matches, feel free to give me lots of candy.

Re: Brunswick Eruption 8 -October 31
 

Well that was fun. I missed the evil sundae though... I heard something about stuffed olives...?

Our alliance managed to get all the way to the finals,
Alliance 7 (1989, 56, 1807) vs. Alliance 1 (2753, 1923, 1302)

Our alliance had a bit of problems, as 1807's ball collector literally started smoking mid-game, and our orbit ball basket somehow got all bent up and wouldn't dispense properly, so we had to resort to using defensive maneuvers and super cells as there wasn't enough time for repairs.

Congrats to everyone who participated!
