Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
A time to get back at ED!!!! I'll be there.
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
Conflict: Do I wear my full team uniform and cheesehead or a halloween costume?
Anyhow, I'm either doing Vex or volunteering, depends if I find lots of money lying around or not. Sounds like a fun event, and I'll get to meet a good chunk of New York teams before build season. As the extent of my knowledge of NY teams is "1511", this should be cool :) |
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
According to my friends that are already 229 mentors, I'm going 'whether I like it or not.' I guess they don't know me well enough yet- I never pass up an off-season! :)
Also, thanks for FINALLY not having it the same weekend as Brunswick Eruption! That way I can (maybe) make that trip too and visit my old team. |

Amazing that it is still only $100 for teams to register for an entire day of fun!
We want to see all of you form NY, NJ, OH, PA and anywhere else! |

This year Michigan will be represented. 1528 (iPirates) and 2719 (Ketronix Trojan Robotics) are coming. I already informed the students of the trip before school closed. Besides we have been wanting to compete with the Buckeye Regional teams again.

I don't recall anyone requesting to be pied so yeah, I'd stick with begging for it. |
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
A bump, yes. Sorry.
I'd like to attend this event, but I have no way of getting from Troy to the Ruckus. If anyone's making plans and happens to have a spare seat in a car somewhere, I'd be happy to cover a share of gas (and of course my own room and other stuff). |

Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
Cool, but I mean Troy, NY, so I imagine that would be a little out of the way :) (I think Troy's by Albany, not sure about my new state geography)
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
340 will be there. Of course.
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
There are trains and buses from Albany to Rochester. I would imagine neither is especially cheap however.
You could contact your local teams (250 and 20 off the top of my head) and see if they've thought about going as well. |
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
If there are any teams/volunteers from the Philadelphia area planning to attend the Ruckus...please let me know.
THANKS! :D |

I'm heading up for sure. |
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
I believe I can make it this year...I don't think I can drag 174 in with me though, but I'll try.
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
Awesome Evan, and I do think you should try very hard to convince 174 to come up and try to extend their reign in Rochester! ;P But I'm glad you're coming up, it's been a while!
And what about 1712.....Can't you pull some strings Phill and Chuck to get your team up here? PS: Chuck will you be bringing any FTC with ya? |

Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
i should be there
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
It's getting closer!! Here's the current list of teams. Still PLENTY of room! Sign up early and pre-order food!
191: The X-Cats 578: Blue Lightning 1507: The Warlocks 1511: Rolling Thunder 1528: iPirates 2340: NazareX 2719: SRT & Monroe High School We look forward to seeing you! Anyone have any Pie in the Eye ideas? |
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
1126 will be there!
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
I would like to go, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to bring the rest of the crew. In between VRC, community stuff and some other team related functions, I don't think we have the resources available to go as a team.
It sure will be fun to watch if I can make it, though! -Nick |

Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
OMGOMGOM!!! I'm starting to get sooooooooo excited about this. Especially to see all the people i haven't seen from last season! People like Phil from Philly (lol i dont remember your last name but i remember you from the Philly regional), Nick from 1503, ppl from 1923, 340, 191, 1126, maybe even 1714 (remember us from newton?), 188 (yay!), and of course 1511. Pit buddies from ATL :). And it would be nice to see some new faces here as well.
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!

To clarify, 1714 DEFINITELY won't be there. I will cause I'm in the area and love cool teams like you guys :) (though I don't own my own cheesehead yet). |

Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
That would be really cool, actually. I've got about most of of the old base kit, and my design would as it stands require tank tread, 4-5 motors, lots of axles (I actually am one short of building the kitbot) and probably some metal on top of that. (the design can be adapted to use intake rollers too)
Time to sharpie all of the vex stuff I own then? :D I've been suffering from competition withdrawal lately. I NEED to compete every few months, methinks. Trying to determine what's harder, designing a robot or designing bus schedules around whether or not or how many loaner rides I can get from my friends and / or wherever. :P |

Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
Calling 1503 / 1507 to either win the event or face off in the finals. :D
Looks like The Rebel(s) 63, my old Vex team that got me here today, is probably making a return (at least that's what I'm calling myself). Hopefully this time I won't take apart the entire robot mid competition based on a really bad strategy idea combined with the worst execution of parallel treads ever. Though last time my disaster led me to an FRC team, maybe this time...? |

Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
I don't believe 174 will be going. I haven't been able to get in contact with the lead mentor...and even if I did, well, I'll just stop and avoid a rant.
I'm not sure if I'm going now or not, not because of 174, but for other reasons. I'll see how it all works out. |

Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
Hmm. I'll check on that. There was a period of time when our webmaster's email went down, but not to worry, registration is sent to multiple people.

Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
i was wondering if any one knew how many teams their would be total
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
can someone please give me an updated team list
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
We don't know how many teams there will be total until closer to the Ruckus because there are still teams that haven't registered yet. The team list so far is:
191 229 291 340 379 578 639 1126 1507 1511 1518 1528 1559 2228 2340 2719 3003 |
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!

Are you guys still interested in volunteering if you're not going to compete? |
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!

Considering the fact you guys have said repeatedly that some teams will be signing up late, and that we're working with a team that is already REGISTERED, I think a little patience is warranted! |
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
that would be awesome if team 48 came up hope you guys register
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
Lol @ Koko. It's okay....calm down...
And Travis, it would be awesome to see your team and robot compete so I hope you guys come up! It will be a blast! |

As a fund raiser, do you think that people would buy tickets to get a chance to color my hair at lunch time? I would provide the spray color.

yes but still how will you do alliance selection with an odd number of teams
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
Other events have been shortened to 4 alliances for that.
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
yes that is true hope we get 24
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
does anyone know of miore teams that are registering
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
Also 1511 will be doing a demonstration of the Beta test system at the Ruckus this year. Up for grabs will be information on updates to C++ programming, the new driver station, and (assuming they show up) the new Jaguars!
Lots of cool stuff and a chance to clear up any misinformation on the new equipment that tends to get spread around. Hope to see you there! |
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
there should be 24 teams being that 3015 1551 1405 the new pittsford team possibly 1503 and 48 amd 2053 hopefully they all come for a full house:D

|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
there might be 1450 73 and 1728 if they come well have 28 teams
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
There are plenty of teams in Rochester and surrounding. It all depends on who wants to come. I know of a couple Rochester teams that don't do offseason events. Teams are still registering so the number of teams is still up in the air. If I had to guess I'd say somewhere between 20-24.
|
Re: 2009 Rah-Cha-Cha Ruckus!!!
ok thanks hopefully we will have a full house any idea if 48 is coming
