Let's hope everything runs smoothly this year. There's no point loading up teams with bots that barely work if it means they'll be spending more time troubleshooting than competing. Are you going to be having 18 teams running matches so frequently that they can't even get to their pit before being queued? or is it going to be a more relaxed evenly paced event this year?

Just got a financial "boost" from my parents covering bus tickets to Rochester. I'm excited! Once I get all of my tests out of the way, all I have to do is label all of my Vex parts, build what I can in Troy, and finalize designs (figuring out how to mount the "towers" that will hold the gears holding the arms on is probably trickiest... and how to scrap independently actuated tread in favor of a sliding door... with parts I don't have on hand). Oh, and I have to get EasyC working.

Does it make sense for me to sign up as a volunteer also, or should I just see where I can help when I get there?

Good news- thanks to a generous offer from the X-Cats, team 578 will be able to attend the Ruckus and borrow their practice robot to compete in the Lunacy competition. Our team is eternally grateful for all the teams who offered to help us out, and it means a lot to us that we'll still be able to attend our favorite off-season event. :D

What is the happy medium between ensuring lots of playing time and allowing for pit time for repairs and recovery? I think they are prepping match schedules starting tonight (the close of registration is today). I'll make sure they hear this feedback!

From what I understand, official volunteer registration is closed, but I'm sure there will be ways you can help out the day of the event!

So I heard some pretty bad news from home unfortunately, so I won't be able to make the Ruckus this weekend. (Don't worry, it's not too serious, stuff just came up) Sorry, I really wanted to go. If I'm not there next year I'll eat my cheese hat!

Unfortunately, you must not have received the memo. Hopefully a pie in zee face will silence you.
