Re: 2011 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

The Rah Cha Cha Ruckus web site is now updated for the 2011 event!
The site is at:
http://ruckus.penfieldrobotics.com

Registration for both teams and volunteers is open as well, and can be done via the website.

The entry fee will not increase this year, remaining at $100.

Additional details in the works which will be added to the site soon, as well as sent to registered teams:

Awards, awards, awards!
"Fun events" details (lunchtime and between-match fun extras - for those that missed it last year, we played human foosball on the field, and even had our MC and announcer joining the fray!)
Food options, including pre-order options
Rules Modifications (if any)

As usual, I'll make an attempt to get 174 to go, but I can't make any promises.

Re: 2011 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

I'm so excited Spartonics signed up! Division winners and world semi-finalist, coming to Ruckus! A great addition to any competition! :D

Re: 2011 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

Yes agreed awesome!!!!! We should send a email to all the teams who attend flr annually. Maybe we could invite some new rookies.

What he said, but for 2791.

2168 will be discussing sending a small group up north with the robot at next tuesday's meeting, the hurricane left alot of the area without power and pushed our first official meeting of the year back a week.

Re: 2011 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

We totally should try to get into contact with at least some of the teams. I love FLR, it would be great to see more of the teams.

Re: 2011 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

We are working on getting the information out to teams, but TIMS is down at the moment. So far, we do have a rookie thinking about coming!

And of course I'm excited to see 1503 come to our little event!

Re: 2011 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

1551 will be there, too! (I just got off my duff and registered...)

The rookie team from Honeoye would like to compete. We're looking for a practice robot (with driver's station) for them to use.

(If that's not possible, we'll try to cobble something together with donated mechanisms -- we'd provide the drive base, then see what we could do about a tube manipulator and minibot+deployment.)

Any volunteers? If so, please PM me!

Thanks,

Patrick

How far away are they from Rochester?

Re: 2011 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

About a 4 hour hike. On the edge of doable.

Re: 2011 Rah Cha Cha Ruckus
 

1126 might be able to help. We have a pre-season project of building another robot. I will PM you with more info!
